I hated the Plaza, but that was before the renovations.

I've not stayed at thier Hawaii property, but it's rated quite highly.

plaza

I stayed at the plaza when this rate was first out, It was pretty cheap (i don't post pricing as requested) but I don't think I would stay again even at those levels.

I would say Fairmont Singapore. Free Internet, room Upgrade, Late check out and overall best services all around.

Has anyone been able to use the NFAF code along with a booker ID# to book the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec?

If so, would you mind sharing your rate/dates/how check in went?

Thank you

I just stayed there last Friday. No issues whatsoever. The hotel was packed with people but check-in at the President's Club desk was quick and efficient. The room was a good size but the view was lacking (I booked the regular Fairmont Room).

One recommendation is to Valet Park your car instead of Self-Park. We had a rental SUV, I pulled into the garage and pulled out immediately. Better to let the valets worry about the parking versus navigating the VERY tight garage.

Please do not 'share your rate'.

Please do not 'share your rate'; as has been stated in this thread many times in this thread that would be contrary to the terms of the promotion and compromise the Fairmont insiders who very kindly make their Booker IDs available to us to use to get these heavily discounted rates.

Was able to stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs for around 50% of the rack rate. Nice.

Just booked at Fairmont Kea Lani

Excellent rate. A few questions to those who've used this code:

Does this qualify for any additional discounts during stay (meals)?

Does this discourage the hotel from upgrading me?

Qualifies for Pres Club points?

Thanks!

Yes, will we receive stay credit for status? Not a great program, but still...

Yes they are supposed to count towards stay credits

My experience: booking the NFAF rate gives you the same "perks" you'd get by booking at other rates (if you are FPC member, you get all the FPC benefits except airline miles when you book NFAF). If you have food or spa coupons, you can still use them. Depending on your status in the program, you can still get upgrades. Or, you can get upgrades with the freebie upgrade coupons they give you (depends on status). There are no FPC points, but stay will count as stay credit.

Mr. Gal and I had a fantastic 6 night stay at the Fairmont Orchid.... thanks nyx.t2t for the help! The F&F code worked perfectly.

We eloped and were married the same day we flew to HI. We didn't arrive to the Orchid until near midnight, were upgraded to a fantastic room and treated so incredibly well by all the staff. I can't sing enough praises of the Orchid and our entire experience.
