The hotel's rooms were a source of several compliments by reviewers. They described their rooms as well-equipped and clean, with comfortable beds and strong Wi-Fi signals.

Carol from Creemore, ON CA rated Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello 10 out of 10 on July 10, 2006 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"It was an enjoyable stay. This great hotel is steeped in history. It was surprising to see how big it was especially since it was made out of logs(like a log home). The staff was extremely helpful & friendly. We would return again, but this time stay longer."

Barry from Ottawa, ON CA rated Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello 8 out of 10 on June 25, 2004 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Small things ... light in bathroom wall mirror did not work, sink basin was cracked, toilet seat would not stay up (not a problem for my wife). Also, something like an indoor snack counter would be welcome, where one could buy a muffin or a sandwich. The only food available prior to the summer season at Chateau Montebello is a sitdown restaurant serving full meals."
