This property generally in great shape. Lobby, hallways and rooms look great. But it is showing signs that the owners have stopped putting money into it. They are out of the plastic cups that are used for bathrooms and juice at the breakfast bar. You have to get a New coffee cup, and unwrap it for these needs. I stayed two nights, and asked about getting a Fresh room for the third night. I was told that no housekeeping staff was coming in on Sunday to clean rooms so I was out of luck. Front desk staff was Trying to take care of the breakfast bar, and even doing Housekeeping work when needed. The breakfast food was generally inedible, except the coffee was good.

I waited about 15 minutes to check in because they were on the phone with a previous guest trying to change their charge to a different credit card. In the room surfaces on the desktop and other surfaces were dirty. It was to late and I was tired so I cleaned these myself before unpacking.

The refrigerator was broken. The toilet paper roll was very low, which tells me the room didn’t get much attention prior to me arriving. The complimentary breakfast was missing items. There’s a waffle batter dispenser that remained empty the entire time, and no waffle maker. Room smelled musty.

Had to move rooms, and the second was worse than the first... We got to our room to find the bathroom trash half full, toothpaste spots all over the mirror and quite a few hairs in the shower. After a cordial complaint, the gentleman working the front desk got us an "upgraded" room. When we open the door, we are met with a musky, foul smell. The couch in the room was disgusting. Stains all over it. Being that it was almost midnight, we sprayed a bunch of perfume and just got to bed. Finally, after adjusting to the stench, we were able to get some rest. We're getting ourselves cleaned up in the morning, I decided to crack open the fridge. BIG mistake! Turns out, that's where the smell was coming from. It was so foul, that both of us were gagging. Top it all off, before we could get out of there we noticed that the smoke alarm had been removed from the room and there was just wires where it used to be. By far the worst hotel stay I've ever had, and the only hotel I've ever complained about in my 37 years of life. Severely lacking any regard for cleanliness. The only bright spot was the man working the front desk. He was kind and understanding. The poor guy was very embarrassed. From the sounds of it, it's been going downhill for some time. He seemed very fed up with his cleaning crews and how it was being managed. Said it was his worst experience in his 20 plus years working in the hotel/hospitality business. Btw, I paid $180 to stay at this dump...

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.

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.
