There was travel chaos and Expedia was not flexible at all during the Air Canada flight attendant strike. I prepaid $825 for one night and tried to cancel shortly after booking and they gave me the runaround. Shame on you Expedia and shame on you Fairmont hotels.

Best airport hotel in North America?

Large, luxurious, and clean room had everything needed in a five-start property plus a telescope for plane-spotting and a nice jacuzzi tub. The lounge served excellent food including truffle ravioli, shrimp stuffed mushrooms, and braised beef over vegetables. I stayed one Friday night, so this was a perfect ending for a hard work week.

In a flight cancelation emergency where my mostly blind Mom and I were stuck in Mexico, the Fairmont was a lovely place to layover on our way home to Comox. We had a superb midnight supper after a visit to the Gold lounge. It just so happened thatone of the last 2 rooms available landed us on the 14th. Most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in. Thank you. Darcie Frederiksen

Best Airport Hotel

We stayed at the hotel for a night, it was a wonderful stay! Normally, I am a fan of Marriott hotels. But this time, we see that this hotel is located in the airport and is suits well to our plan, so we didn’t expect much from the hotel. however, it turns out that the services of the staff, and the quality of the room surprised us! This actually help elevates Accor over Bonvoy. Since the hotel is located in the airport, they provide a telescope in the room which we can use to spot airplanes. Overall, it’s a very good hotel, I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends and family. Fantastic!
