On June 9th, I checked in at 12:30 PM, went to the boathouse for a canoe at 1 PM, had a great time, and returned to my room around 3 PM. When I left my room around 5 PM to look around the hotel, a staff member stood in front of the door to clean the room and asked if I needed the room cleaned. I said “NO.” After dinner, I came back to my room, and the staff member was still standing in front of the door. When I entered the room, I saw signs that someone had entered the room. The staff member had cleaned the room. I had left my belongings and my underwear lying around, but the staff member had just come in and cleaned the room. I was so embarrassed and ashamed. The fact that someone else had seen my underwear was so shocking. When I went to the front desk to talk to them, they told me as if nothing had happened. My underwear was lying around, but they said it was nothing… I have stayed at many hotels, but this was the first time they came in and cleaned the room without even staying a night. I am still thinking about legal approach.

We stayed at the Fairmont Chateau the first week of June 2025...it is an amazing property...magical is the only word to describe the breauty of the property. We were greeted to a wonderful bottle of prosecco and a scrumptous lemon chocolate tart in celebration of our 50th anniversary. The property has a wide array of restaurants from the $$$$$ to $$$. The staff and food at all of them were excellent! The hotel staff was friendly and went above the service one experiences at other hotels...from setting up your luggage to fetching a bucket of ice...can't wait to return! Texas

While the Fairmont Lake Louise has a grandiose reputation, 2 nights would have sufficed, and the 4 nights we stayed was not worth the price. On top of the high room rates, the hotel "nickels and dimes" guests, which left us disappointed. Parking should be included, and breakfast should be included as well. The additional parking fee is unreasonable, as is the high price for breakfast. Most "European hotels " include fabulous breakfast buffets with the room booking. One of the elevators to my wing was out of service, which made the wait for the one working elevator ridiculous. The ongoing construction taking place on one of the floors rendered another elevator bank unusable. And the indoor hot tub facility was so disappointing to the eye, we didn't even bother suiting up. Lastly, we ate in 2 of the restaurants - nice atmospheres, but disappointing food, not warranting the exceptionally high prices. On the upside- the view from our room was spectacular and mesmerizing. And the Shuttle to Lake Louise was very convenient. Last comment- Good thing my husband and I are not big people, as we would not have fit in the bathroom!!
