Charming and quaint hotel
This was our second stay with the hotel and we really like the location, the style of the hotel and the atmosphere. We would definitely stay again. The only issue is it can get a little warm in the rooms as there are no ceiling fans, and although the air comes on and off quite often, it doesn’t cool the room down as much as it should.

As a boutique hotel the rooms were the kind of style I like. High end bathroom which I really enjoyed. Stylishly decorated. Comfortable and good looking bed. Things to know in advance: The room I was in had no desk or space for one. This is a converted historical building so the room I was in did not have space to work. Parking charges were extra. When I stayed, there was significant roadworks directly outside the property which made getting there by car at night very difficult. I wish I had been notified in advance about this. I came back to the hotel late twice and there was no one there to assist me with the mandatory valet parking. The location is great for walking downtown and the riverwalk. I did not get a chance to try the rooftop bar or restaurants but other locals told me they were good. Overall, would I stay there again? Probably. Would I check out alternatives to staying there again before signing up? Probably I would. There are lots of hotels in this area of town so I suggest you shop around. Overall, I am happy with my stay there but I would likely look for an alternative next time.

A Disappoiting Stay
I recently stayed at this property and found it to be a disappointment. Having stayed at Fairmont properties before, I had high expectations, but this location did not match the standards set by others. To start, there was construction in front of the hotel, which was not ideal given the premium price we paid for our stay. The lack of a traditional reception desk was also off-putting; instead, check-in was conducted at a podium with the receptionist using computers off to the side. The building itself is old, and some areas clearly need improvement, such as the floor of the elevator. The patio behind the bar on the first floor, while nice, could benefit from better patio furniture to make it more inviting. Our experience at the rooftop bar was particularly frustrating. The staff took forever to take our order, which dampened our enjoyment. At check-out, we decided to have a cup of coffee at the bar while waiting to leave, only to find out the coffee machine was broken. The server mentioned it had been out of order for a week with no clear timeline for when it would be fixed. In summary, while this property is small and historic, it lacks the luxury and attention to detail I have come to expect from Fairmont. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.

We loved staying at the Fairmount to celebrate our anniversary. It’s a small boutique hotel with tons of charm… and we loved the rooftop bar. Both the bar and our room had unobstructed views of the tower and downtown. It was also very convenient to everything on the Riverwalk… all easy to walk. We will definitely be back!!!
