Ladies Getaway
The best part of this hotel, the Fairmont Olympic in Seattle is the staff. We found each and every one to be courteous and willing to go beyond the norm to be helpful. We would happily go back there. Our luggage was lost by the airline and the hotel staff made every effort to find it while providing us with the necessities to make it through until the luggage arrived.

Great Location, Great Staff, But Dated
This hotel was all around good, and I would probably stay there again. However, for the money, I would expect more updated in-room amenities, and there shouldn't be paint peeling/mold in the bathroom, or a $15/day charge for internet. For the money, you may get a better experience and feel you are getting your monies worth at another 4-5 star hotel within a couple blocks.

Fabulous Service
Old style luxury! Suite was nice and better than the single Queen. Lots of nice extras in the room...slippers, umbrella (luckily did not need), etc. etc. Hotel is vintage Seattle at it's best! There are hotels with trick new, modern facilities but this one treats you like Royalty! Room was LARGE. Everything was modernized and clean. Lobby very nice and staff is incredible. They know your name!

Excellent location
The staff was exceptional - very knowledgably and helpful. The location is perfect. It is very close to everything we wanted to do, but just off of the business of the Warf. Our air conditioning was not working when we arrived. But, a quick phone call to the front desk had it fixed within 15 minutes. The room was very quiet and we didn't even notice the street noise. Only drawback - no coffee machine in the room. So, we had to get dressed to go to the lobby when all we wanted to do was stay in bed and relax.

Fairmont Olympic Seattle
The rooms were very nice and it had a good location in downtown Seattle. We could pretty much walk wherever we wanted to go, though the walk to the space needle was a bit farther than expected. Overall we had a good experience though.

Fabulous weekend at the Fairmont
We came up to Seattle to watch our daughter race at UW, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Fairmont is a classic hotel with old world charm - a beautiful lobby and restaurants. The location was very convenient for walking to many excellent restaurants and downtown sites.

excellent!
This is a lovely hotel, is convenient to Pike Place Farmers Market area. The staff is extremely courteous, and helpful, and I'd give this hotel 6 stars. One of the nicest I've ever stayed at! Room service is a bit pricey, and the only suggestion I would have is to have coffee readily available in the morning for residents of the hotel. If it was somewhere in the hotel, I didn't know about it. Seattle is the land of coffee after all!
