I would say the only real downside is 1) You have to have Amex plat & 2) the room rates are higher than the lowest discounted rates. Lately I've seen the FHR rates at Fairmont being set the same as the standard refundable (Fairmont's "daily") rate. You also get the room upgrade, $100 F&B or spa credit, and sometimes every 3rd or 4th night free. The rate has always been qualifying for stay credits with FPC - not sure about Accor.

If you can use it, FHR may be one of the few remaining reasons to keep Amex Plat, at least in Canada.
