Overall this hotel was acceptable for the price. I wouldn't bid more than $85 for this place. Its a Fairmont by name only. The grounds are not up to the level of the Fairmont I come to recognize around the world. The location is adjacent the airport as many people have mentioned and the drive to Balboa Island is only a ten minute ride or so - no problem!

Room was nice and the hotel was accommodating to our request for a crib.
