How to Get There
Reviews
The staff made this hotel stay a wonderful experience. The gentleman at checkin, Pascal, came from behind the counter to show us around and his unbelievable directions for the tunnels/trainstation. The busy concierge staff of the 21st floor that remember your name, when out of their way to please and even taking time for a friendly chat. The housekeeping staff that kept the room spotless.
As a family that loves the elegance and friendliness of Fairmont hotels we hope they stop doing $140 million renovations like this one! Albeit the spa is improved and the artisan market clever The lobby and feel of this hotel has the ambiance of the common area in a mall or airport. Also it took us 20
Minutes! To get an elevator to our room upon check in. Not sure if they were overbooked but the crowds (I think a folk convention) were overwhelming at every turn. Thankfully the staff remains helpful and cheerful. Still with the rate we paid we expected more. What a shame
Small rooms with line ups at check in and check out. Room service meal was cold. Nice location and access to underground. Also no late check out allowed. Expensive for the size of room. Does not live up to Fairmont name like other locations.
Did not have the charm of Ottawa or other Fairmonts. Gold floor nothing special. Had to make our own fancy coffees trying to figure out bespresso machine along with other guests who were complaining. We missed the staff who served us when Washington and were so charming and attentive. No WOW factor here for anything sadly and not our first time in Montreal.
Stayed here 3 nights while on tour and loved it - room was great and the staff better than good - near everything in Montreal and they have a great restaurant with superb staff - can't say enough good about it
