Weekend for two with a slope-view upgrade
- Breakfast
- $100 credit
- Better floor or view
- No early check-in
- $250 credit posted
- Resort fee prepaid
Their take: A fantastic stay that they would gladly repeat; the generous buffet and the parking help more than made up for the slow start at check-in.
Details
- Paid
- The Chase rate matched Fairmont's direct price, though a member login with Accor Live Limitless would have shaved about $45; they paid beyond the $250 credit with points at a Points Boost value of $0.0165 per point
- Points
- The $250 Edit credit showed up in a couple of days
- Check-in
- Got there around 3:00 PM, before the 4:00 PM check-in; the room was not ready, the promised text never arrived, and after they went back to the desk past 4:00 PM staff apologised and gave them a different room of the same upgraded type
- Upgrade
- Upgraded to a room with a view of the slopes, plus a small window over the pool
- Room
- Very comfortable, though the closet door would not open fully, so the safe could not be reached
- Parking
- Self-parking is $45 CDN a day; the desk gave them an exit ticket, saving $90 CDN over two days since the car stayed put
- $100 credit
- Came to $134 CDN after exchange; with parking taken care of, most of it went on drinks at the bar
- Resort fee
- Prepaid, so no surprise charges at checkout
- Breakfast
- Full buffet with no dollar cap: fruit, pastries, pancakes, scrambled eggs, an omelet and eggs-to-order station, and coffee, tea and juice; alcohol cost extra and B.C. law bars serving it before 9:00 AM
