I had a wonderful stay at Fairmont. The outstanding treatment by each and every member of the staff was impressive. The rooms were elegant, equipped with a nice flatscreen TV and a Keurig espresso maker that I made good use of. However, the price was on the higher side compared to some other options, and I noticed some toiletries were missing, even though they were sufficient for one person.
