    We have stayed there before and will definitely stay again, but the bed and bedding is not as comfortable as other hotels of the same quality and price.

    Location and staff are A++++

    I think the info on parking cost was not accurate from booking.com but the rates were displayed at the hotel and told to us when we checked in. I really didn't care for the scent (white tea + thyme is what the hotel staff told me) they chose to spray all over the hotel - which permeated the lobby, the conference areas and hallways. Luckily it wasn't in my room. If there's a reason I choose not to stay in this hotel, it would primarily be the scent.

    Location, ease of check in, parking was simple once explained. Hotel bar prices very reasonable. I liked that it was really different from the usual chain hotels we stay in. My spouse noted that the hardwood floors in the room was a plus - we could roll our luggage in with ease.

    I disliked the fact that my family of 4 was forced to book two separate King suites to accommodate 4. The 650 sq ft rooms with a King bed are more than equipped to have 2 adults and 2 children. If it is a matter of beds, you need to make the couch a pullout. It is also off the Plaza. I paid $1900 for 2 suites for 2 nights. Should have been half that. In colder weather, you need to take a shuttle.

    I liked the location and the fact it was the location for my school reunion

    Nice hotel for one night

    I did not like the fees that came with the hotel...resort fee, heritage fee, tourism tax.

    This was our first time staying at the Fontaine, we stayed one night. Seemed like a nice hotel. Not sure about the location as we didn't utilize anything around that particular area, so not sure what is within walking distance, etc. Parking was in an attached garage ($25/night). Room was nice and quiet. Shower was large. Some reviews said the shower water wouldn't go higher than 100 degrees, which is not correct...just push the button for hotter water. We did not utilized the restaurant nor the pool. You do have to validate your parking ticket each time you want to leave, but that was not a big deal.
