Meh.
Check in was great. Our room was clean and comfortable. After that it all went downhill. Not enough towels- not just in our room but in total on the property, there was coffee but no tea, no iron, the breakfast was nothing but carbs. The waffle iron was broken and the morning staff was inattentive to guests. No soap or paper towels in the public bathroom. No water fountain. I wouldn’t return to this hotel.

I had a handicap room. I am guessing they gave me this room because I had a brace on my shoulder. The room did not drain properly so there was standing water in the bathroom around the sink area. I have been using hotels for over forty years now and this is the first time I have ever encountered a situation where there were not large towels available. Sonesta Essential Fairmont only had medium size towels available. The breakfast was okay, but the coffee seems watered down, so it wasn't good.

The door locks were upside down making entering room very awkward. Thankfully the person on the desk was very helpful. Generally hotel looked tired. Breakfast not so good

I had to extend my stay by a day and chose to do it directly at the hotel rather than through Expedia. The manager ended up charging me five times the quoted rate and ghosted me after repeated attempts just to get a receipt.

Location Hospitality & Comfort 10/10
The staff was friendly, attentive and expedient, especially the check-in; for check-out, the staff was super-accommodating to switch to a late checkout same-day, since we were running behind in our schedule. My only issue was with the coffee bar/breakfast area, as there were zero napkins provided for the duration of our stay, even during the posted complimentary breakfast hours; there were zero lids for the coffee cups provided during the duration between check-in & check-out, and the coffee urns on our departure day were emptied by the middle of the breakfast hours and not refilled by time we were leaving, late. I understand the staffing was minimal and figured there were likely shortages of manpower to cover a guest's anticipated needs...but napkins are pretty basic, & we used up all of our bathroom tissues in lieu of having napkins at the breakfast area. I definitely was pleased with the location of this property, the comfort of our room, and grateful for a working fridge for our necessities in the room as well. We look forward to staying again on our next visit to Fairmont.
