This is a beautiful property located in the perfect spot to check out the town. We asked if we could check in early and the hotel accommodated us. The parking was not an issue even though it’s in a parking garage. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The staff was helpful and kind. We had to ask for extra towels and they were up to our room in minutes. We ordered room service for breakfast and that also came quickly. Would 12/10 recommend.

A Gem in the Plaza!

My husband and I loved The Fontaine! The staff, from the front desk, to the bar tender to housekeeping, were all friendly and helpful. It's perfectly located getting there and leaving the Plaza area, near wonderful shops and restaurants and has a tremendous atmosphere. Our room was beautiful with a pleasant view, we couldn't have been happier with our stay! Thank you to everyone at The Fontaine!

Was pretty loud at night, especially with a small child after 9:00 PM. Cleaning team was pretty sporadic and wasn’t thrilled with the service on towels / housekeeping of bed. Other than that, it’s a great hotel. Restaurant, pool, and amenities are all top notch
