Fairmount Hotel

We were supposed to stay for the night this weekend, when we arrived the doors were locked. Tried to call continuously for 30 minutes with no answer. Every single curtain was closed and it looked like it had been closed down! We had no choice but to spend more money and book elsewhere. Still haven’t heard back after leaving a voicemail but will be expecting a refund!

Booked to stay at The Fairmount Hotel for a friends birthday. Together we booked four rooms. This is not a hotel… this is a hostel! We didn’t actually stay the night as we found hundreds of BED BUGS in two of the rooms. Thankfully we hadn’t even taken our bags into the rooms before we turned and left. Pictures make this place look ok. It really isn’t. Disgusting place! The thought of bed bugs fills me with dread. Couldn’t get out quick enough.

At first glance, the room looks nice. However, there was mould in the bathroom, and the lamp above the bathroom mirror was really mouldy and didn't work. Whoever used the room or cleaned the room before left a used tampon in the bathroom bin, which was unpleasant. Also no bathroom mats for stepping out of the shower or hand towels. I stored my clothes in a little cubbie hold next to the bed and when I put my shirt in the morning on there was grime and stains from something sticky on the wood. We paid for a double room, but it was just two single beds pushed together, making it difficult to sleep next to my partner as the beds moved in the night. We were above the smoking area and at half three there were a group of lads being very loud and being sick and no one from front desk went to ask them to be a bit more considerate. I understand its a party town on a Saturday but I'm sure there is suppose to be a low level noise policy after a certain time. On the positive side the beds were well made and comfy and the man at the front desk is always very polite and helpful.
