Fairmont Grand Del Mar

early check-in: None. Totally forgot about this and when we arrived around 2:30pm we were told check-in is at 4pm.

Upgrade: we had a Fairmont upgrade certificate in our account that I mentioned. I asked if we could use it and also mentioned the FHR upgrade. So not sure if he used the certificate but we booked a basic room and got a 1 category upgrade. Room was lovely. We were also offered another category up but didn't want a ground level floor. In any case we had to wait maybe 40 minutes for the room to be ready. Nothing in the room was personalized to us and it was a mid-week stay and the hotel wasn't full.

Breakfast was included, $50/day total

we didnt use the other benefit which was a $100 credit only to golf, spa or other activities and it couldn't be applied to parking

late check-out was offered
