Pros - Staff were amazing. The food at our conference was amazing. Conference facilities were good. Evening at Copper Canyon was great. I enjoyed the princess pool.

Cons - The 18+ pool was so dirty I didn't stay in it. Weird white styrofoam balls floating in it. (The princess pool was lovely though) Rooms are a bit dated. Bed uncomfortable. (Loved the pillows though). Wished there were more casual places to dine in the evening. Poolside service ended at 5pm. Lastly, I couldn't believe the waste happening from an environmental sustainability standpoint. Every time I left my room with all lights off I would come back to every single light turned back on by the housekeeping staff. The food for our conference often had an unbelievable amount of waste associated. Breakfast was individually wrapped sandwiches, individually wrapped breakfast bars, individual bottles of hot sauce and ketchup, plastic cutlery - all with a plastic container to put it all in that was then all promptly thrown away. 5 star shouldn't have to mean you're killing the planet. You can do better Fairmont.
