Fairmont Royal York

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Hotel rooms a little dated and dark. Staff were all very helpful. Room booked for 2 adults & 2 kids, however housekeeping only left 3 towels & 2 bath robes so had to contact them everyday for extra towels. Would be nice to be told a bit more about the hotel & amenities at check in."
