Fairmont Empress
Initially we didn’t have the room ready on time (4pm). The room we eventually got was below our expectations for a Fairmont. But the manager took note of that and replaced it with probably one of the best rooms they had.

Bedford Regency Hotel
The room was a little cool so they brought me a heater and some blankets which really helped also unfortunately the cleaner didn’t get all the food/garbage that was under the stovetop area. Other than that, everything was fine.

Hotel Rialto
Staff were excellent, as was the location. There are many unhoused folks if you head East on Pandora, which may be a concern for some. L'Occitane toiletries were greatly appreciated.
