The front desk staff was very friendly at check-in. The room was nice, but guests next door were very loud... up past midnight having very loud conversations, coming and going from the room frequently, and slamming the door each time. Someone seemed to locked out and was pounding don't and was pounding on the door and shouting to get in at 3 am... weird since you need a room key to access the guest floors via the elevator. Had breakfast in the restaurant on morning of our departure and the waitress was cranky when we didn't greet her and ask her how she doing when she first arrived at our table. Upon check out, we asked for the folio to be emailed to us. An hour later, after departing the property, we reviewed the email and found our breakfast charge was nearly triple the receipt we signed. We immediately called the hotel and got the run around. The front desk couldn't fix it and sent the call to the restaurant. The restaurant confirmed the amount sent to the folio matched the receipt and couldn't explain why it showed up at a higher amount. Back and forth, and no one could fix it. We called again the following day and were told a new folio would be sent, but it never was. The charge went through for the full amount, and no further update was provided from the hotel, so I decided to dispute the charge and let the cc company chase them for a while.

This is a beautiful property located in the perfect spot to check out the town. We asked if we could check in early and the hotel accommodated us. The parking was not an issue even though it’s in a parking garage. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The staff was helpful and kind. We had to ask for extra towels and they were up to our room in minutes. We ordered room service for breakfast and that also came quickly. Would 12/10 recommend.

A Gem in the Plaza!

My husband and I loved The Fontaine! The staff, from the front desk, to the bar tender to housekeeping, were all friendly and helpful. It's perfectly located getting there and leaving the Plaza area, near wonderful shops and restaurants and has a tremendous atmosphere. Our room was beautiful with a pleasant view, we couldn't have been happier with our stay! Thank you to everyone at The Fontaine!
