Negative Reviews

negative:

Lack of air conditioning

Rooms have ceiling fans but lack any air conditioning. For most of the year, this isn't a problem, however, depending when you travel you might notice your room can get toasty. Windows open for additional air circulation, however.

negative:

Expensive overall

This luxury property comes with a luxury price tag. If you book a stay here, be prepared to splurge a little. Amenities like Wi-Fi and parking are paid services, and daily charges add up quickly.

negative:

Renovation is needed in some areas

Some guests were disappointed and feel that this Fairmont hotel didn't live up to the brand. Widely recognized as a luxury hotel, some of the rooms require furniture updates and bathroom fixture maintenance.
