| - Fantastic hotel. I'd compare the rooms to the nicer hotels I've staid in back home in Atlantic City, NJ. (Borgata, Caesars) The key here is the staff. They were all phenomenal. A special hats off to the valet crew, who were more willing to help a guest out rather than avoid doing some extra work. The beds were very comfortable and the TV, always a pet peeve of mine, was very nice. A lot of hotels will give you a "big screen HDTV" and the hotel feeds it some crappy compressed version of HD channels, but the Fairmont one had them in all their glory.
The minibar was expensive as always, and had an average selection. (The Standard in NYC still has the best mini-bar.) The bathroom was spacious and well appointed, including two robes. However, I would have preferred a door on the separate toilet room, and a more impressive shower head (though I believe they may need the weak shower head for their LEED energy certification.) There was also an odd stain in the tub, hair dye maybe?
We got a room with a ballpark view, which for the most part viewed the office tower across the street, but still had a good view of the ballpark if you were standing by the window. The hotel is very convenient to people attending the ballpark. That was the reason for my stay, along with a significant amount of other guests.
