Rideau Mall Tours and Activities

The hotel looks old from the outside but extremely welcoming once you enter the hotel lobby. You can smell the distinct "Sheraton Scent" as soon as you enter. Room is clean and there are daily service during my 3 night stays. The fitness room is pretty good, it has towel, water, headset.

Dining and breakfast not available for much of the week - check website before booking. No fridge in room. No tea/coffee in room, just a shared kitchenette in main building.

We opted for the Gold plan and loved it! Breakfast was included, small plate appetizers and canapés and then dessert served in an exclusive common room from 5:00. Excellent service. But the hotel needs some refurbishing and updating. The desk chair in our room was literally shredded. This is a premium property. A wonderful and historic and perfectly located hotel. The Fairmount needs to give it some love.
