The breakfast experience at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort receives overall positive feedback from guests. Many guests found the breakfast to be delicious, well-presented and great in taste. The breakfast bowl, in particular, was highlighted as terrific. A buffet option, offered on some days, was preferred over the à la carte option by some guests. However, there are notable areas for improvement. Breakfast was sometimes reported as expensive with no inclusion in the stay and a limited offering of coffee and muffins in place of a full sit-down breakfast. The closure of the main restaurant during the week inconvenienced those looking for a hot breakfast on the property. Despite these drawbacks, the staff's friendliness and helpfulness added to the positive overall experience.
