    Our continued dislike is the fact that access to Wi-Fi is not considered a standard amenity, and you need to subscribe/pay for it separately. Definitely a missed opportunity for the hotel to complete its high level of customer service.

    My husband and I have stayed at the Fairmont numerous times, it is our go to hotel when visiting DC. Staying at the Fairmont is always a pleasure, the rooms are very clean, staff is amazing, and the location is great.

    Beautifully designed, perfectly located, and spotlessly clean — just wish the mornings were quieter.

    The housekeeping staff was quite loud every morning, which made it difficult to sleep in. I had to wake up each day to the noise they were making, and although this was the only issue I experienced, it was rather frustrating. Also, having to pay for Wi-Fi doesn’t quite fit with expectations in 2025. Of course, this is the hotel’s policy and it was clearly stated on Booking.com, so this is just a personal opinion. But perhaps including Wi-Fi in the room rate—by raising it slightly, say $15 (daily wifi rate)—might come across as more refined.

    The hotel was comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well located, and felt extremely safe. The room was beautifully decorated and the entire place smelled amazing.

    Exclusive property priced to keep value minded travelers to seek other options

    At the Fairmont everything is ala cart, internet, tv, ect. unless of course one joins there program which they send you a link to but your unable to open unless you pay for internet which I believe is about 30 dollars for 24 hours. The health club at the facility is well equipped and has a lap pool but in the basement is poorly ventilated, despite numerous air scrubbing machines throughout the facility which is kind on an subterrain labyrinth. The lap pool area has an excess of Chlorine gas which of course makes your swim a bit more of a challenge.

    Room was super comfortable and quiet, excellent king size bed, super amenable maid services. The property is well maintained with plenty of gathering spots indoors and out.

    Being charged for Wi-Fi is something I'm not accustomed to. Additionally, the lobby was very crowded but that's to be expected for a popular hotel.

    The room was sumptious - upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the courtyard was an added touch. The bed and bathroom, specifically the shower, was extraordinarily comfortable.

    1. After checking in, we found a box of ink in our room (most likely left behind by previous hotel guests). Hotel should have checked the room before our stay. 2. The bathroom door cannot be locked though it did nor really affect our stay. We did report to hotel when check out, so it can be taken care of for the next guest. 3. Room fridge is full with drinks; cannot put our fruit or water in at all. It will be best if it can be arranged to be half packed so guest can use it also.

    Room is roomy; hotel staffs are very polite; location is great for our stay.
