The hotel is beautiful and grand, however, severely understaffed. The check in staff at Zoe were not responsive or cordial on a few occasions. The three personnel at the desk weren’t even serving other customers at the time. They didn’t even look up to ask if they could help. I had a great server wait on us at the restaurant and a pleasant server at the bar. This hotel has many aspects that are nice but the service needs to be stepped up. I also waited an hour for the valet to deliver our car, others guests who were staying had similar complaints about the long valet waits. Given that valet is the only option and at $67.00 a night the horribly long wait is not acceptable at any price.

The hotel rest room on the main lobby was not clean. Paper on the floor, dirty toilets and sinks. Zoe's Bar had very slow service. It took ten minutes to get seated in the lounge. Another ten minutes for a server to get our order. And a full half an hour to get our cocktails and appetizers. The hotel room in general needs an update. The fixtures in the bathroom are coming away from the wall and sink. The shower has very poor temperature controls. The windows are filthy. The blinds are either up or down. There are no privacy shears which could give added protection from the building across the street. Overall, I felt that this hotel is not up to the standard of other Fairmonts that I have visited in Banff and Toronto,

Chateau Laurier - Beauty w/Gift of History

A beautiful hotel, with amazing staff, and the gift of an amazing history told throughout the building. The location is ideal with the Parliament Buildings a short walk in one direction, the Byward Market in another, the Rideau Canal, museums, galleries and shopping all close by. Highly recommended.

I like the building of the hotel. But the room’s table lights did not work properly. The restaurant foods was so so and fruits was not fresh. All these issues were not worth what we paid expensively for the hotel room.
