A good stay....not a great one

One of two elevators was broken the entire time...the second one failed on Friday night...fortunately, it was repaired by Saturday morning...no spa.....state of repair of the place seemed off....

The elevators kept breaking and we were on the 10th floor which honestly was a huge inconvenience.

Pleasant Stay

I have stayed at the Fairmont many times, and it was a pleasant stay this time around. The service was impeccable, Jarjay at the front desk and Christian at the Fig were absolutely top tier–I have nothing but praise for the staff working at the Fairmont. The room was cleaned impeccably. The only issues I encountered were with some of the facilities–the elevator broke during the stay, and the automatic front doors also stopped working. The Peloton upright bikes in the gym didn't work either, on one the seat was broken and the other the pedal, rendering them both unusable. Other than that I have no complaints, I do love the Fairmont and hope to see it in good repair on my next visit, it really is a special place.

Hotel needs some upgrading to maintain its level as a Fairmont hotel. The rooms and amenities are old.

Terrible. The hallway to the room was mouldy smelling and filthy and the room was even worse. I couldn’t stay and had to find another hotel after arriving late in the evening.

The hallway to the room was mouldy smelling and filthy and the room was even worse. I couldn’t stay and had to find another hotel after arriving late in the evening. I understand this was the older section of the hotel but it really shouldn’t be open for business. It is destructive to the Fairmont brand to have people renting these unsanitary and horrible rooms. I literally couldn’t breathe in the room or hallways.
