Outstanding beautiful hotel - highly recommend
Pros:

Grand hotel, excellent restaurant (food and service outstanding) , wonderful front office staff (Diana is possibly the most professional front reception person i have ever encountered), incredibly comfortable bed and pillows, spacious room.

Cons:

The only thing I found a bit limiting was the bathroom which was unusually small for such a large room but this is a minor wrinkle.

Pas de restaurant pour un grand hôtel, nul
Pros:

Emplacement très bien. Personnel sympathique.

Cons:

Pas de restaurant si ce n’est le bar ultra bruyant. C’est une calamité car il n’y a que des boutiques de luxe et pas un restaurant.

Comfortable.
Pros:

Clean and accommodating staff.

Cons:

Parking is cumbersome and costs 75 dollars per day. Although it’s a historic building all of the character has been renovated out of it. The pool is partially under renovation so there is no hot tub. They have turned the hot tub into a putting range. Room had no view yet we were on the 10th floor.

Not up to expectations based on previous stays at the property!
Pros:

Location! The atmosphere and service in the Fairmont Gold lounge

Cons:

Very poor room : poorly laid out, cramped, chipped paint , smelly shower drain, and a mirror that should have been replaced decades ago.

Meh
Pros:

Great location. Quiet inside. Staff were wonderful.

Cons:

Old furniture in most places and pretty beat up. Bed was not great. Food was okay. Pool a gym was not great. Pool area seemed to be falling apart. For a “higher” end hotel it felt a little underwhelming for the price of a suite.
