Dejligt hotel der ligger perfect
Pros:

Rigtig god placering. Hyggeligt hotel med en dejlig terrasse og god gym

Cons:

Vi så en mus i en af gangene. Da vi meldte dette til receptionen virkede det ikke til at blive taget seriøst

En anbefaling til Fairmont er at indkøbe nogle elektriske cykler, således en cykeltur bliver mere behagelig.

A once in a lifetime experience to spend a couple nights in a Fairmont suite with unbeatable views from the Golden Gate
Pros:

What’s not to like? It’s the Fairmont after-all. Historic, beautiful, and unlike any other property in The City.

Cons:

$300 incidental fee in an already expensive city may not fit everyone’s budget. Yes, of course it’s not a Motel 6 and $300 is literally nothing to most of the people who stay there. As a regular working-class person, however, it’s got me checking my bank account hoping to see that money back asap.

Not worth the cost.
Pros:

The historic building is amazing. However the staff didn’t know anything about the history of the building.

Cons:

The prices are all insane and the quality doesn’t match the price. A Caesar salad is just some chopped lettuce and croutons for $27. There was zero design or flavor or anything. For that high of a price for food, the quality needs to be there. Other food items are seriously lacking as well. The 5 star rating needs to match all aspects. Not just be used as a mask to overcharge people. The room service sucked and they kept getting requests wrong, it was just a lot of hassle. Then in the morning the staff that refills the mini bar knocks on the door at 8am. And if you don’t answer, they open the door. Even though checkout is at 11. It was more about a hotel that doesn’t communicate with their staff and the hospitality of the hotel itself is seriously lacking.

Wonderful, peaceful, romantic
Pros:

The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. The balcony was architecturally stunning and had amazing views of the city. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great.

Cons:

It was great! The food for room service breakfast was so-so. Perfectly adequate and would do it again for the convenience, but the only area of improvement I can imagine!
