2/10 Terrible
"When I checked in the person presented me with a card that he said gave complimentary coffee in the coffee shop. It was actually a fee card which cost $450. I did not use the card and was credited the $450 but this employee is not giving the correct information when presenting these cards to guests as if they are a perk for staying at the Fairmont. "
