Quality Inn Orleans
Room was good, staffs were polite and helpful but the pool and hot tub were not available (which was one of the reasons we booked the hotel)

Fairmont Chateau Laurier
It took forever to get checked in. Not what I have experienced at five-star hotels in the past. There was no USB charger in the room and nothing available from the concierge. Again, a bit of a surprise. The hotel is an old, iconic hotel. That comes with pluses and minuses. The location is excellent ...

It was overall good. The bathroom was small and did not have a dedicated fan, but the room fan worked for that purpose.
