Great Lakes Luxury Vacations

Traveling as a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and we could not have picked a better place to stay. We were able to see all the sights, eat all the Chicago food and shop until we dropped. I would absolutely stay here again.

The shower temp was about on the hot side no matter how low you had it. The bed& room were overall great

Everything was mostly great. Except it was a bit overpriced (especially the spa) and minibar person kept adding stuff I didn't use to my bill. Also they don't tell you what perks you have depending on your reservation. You have to ask. Also I stayed in a junior suite for 8 days and they wouldn't give me a late check out. Finally, they begrudgingly have me an hour after I reminded them I spent almost $9,000 dollars there. Gee, thanks. Front desk guy at check in was mostly unhelpful although he was friendly and polite. Tons of great stuff.

Clean Room, great staff and good location.

Gorgeous property, excellent view and room was very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

When we checked in, we were told that we would be upgraded as it was our first visit to Fairmont Royal York. Great, we thought but when we got to our room on 11th floor, we questioned what we had been upgraded from. It was a smallish room with no extra special facilities or amenities. When we queried what level of room we had booked, we were told that 11- 173 was the same size and grade as we had booked but this room had new furniture and was luxury. Not quite what had hoped for when being told we had an upgrade! This room was not what you would describe as luxury. Fairly cramped, huge work desk (why? I'm on holiday and there probably was a business area downstairs) and one tiny easy chair tucked in the corner facing away from tv. However, the most disappointing factor was the sauna and steam rooms. We had booked this hotel as a treat at the end of a long trip around East Coast Canada hoping to have time to chill and relax together. Instead there I was - Billy no mates sitting in the steam room on my own! The hotel has designed the sauna and steam rooms to be only accessible from the male and female changing rooms. Single sex relaxation is the order of the day! Great that same sex couples can enjoy time together but discriminating against others. We were expecting top end luxury but it was disappointing. Does this hotel rely too much on previous history and not respond to needs of today's clientele?

Great service and very clean!
