Sm Solo - 28/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was an interesting experience given what was going on with the Virus. I believe the hotel was running around 10% occupancy, which meant Staffing was pretty low. Once they closed the schools, I decided it was time to get out of town, so I left early. As for the Hotel itself, it was disappointing to find out 4 days before my arrival, that the entire Lobby floor, including the Georgian Room, Lounge and Shops were all closed for remodeling. This should have been noted on your Website or when I booked the room.

It was great as usual

As always, very nice. Can’t wait for renovations to be done.

Not at all the Fairmont experience that we usually experience. Lack in overall excellence.

Customer review rating 4.6/5

Kehau Y. Friends - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

From bellmen to housekeeping everything has been scaled back so much that it reflects in the overall quality and comfort. Reception area confusing and staff not alert to welcoming guest into the makeshift lobby. Room was noisy minimally stocked in amenities from bath products to no coffee maker. Bellmen seamed a bit irritated and it reflected on attitudes towards guest (US). The only saving grace was that we found your Salon and Spa which really needs a facelift and renovations. The Fairmont is a destination hotel with we associate with excellence. Not at all our experience during our recent stay.

Good location

We were staying overnight for our 30th anniversary with tickets to the ballet. Valet parked car when we checked in Saturday afternoon. Everything but empty purse in car which is stowed under the privacy screen in the back of our BMW X5. We used uber back and forth to the ballet. Next morning are woken up with phone call that our car had been broken into in the hotel lot and back driver side window was smashed. Glass was being "cleaned up". Asked that car be brought up for us to assess damage. Window is smashed but there are no signs that anyone crawled in through the window as they would have had to given BMW locking technology. (We drove over from Wenatchee on Saturday through rain so car was dirty-no marks from anyone crawling in) Only thing missing is empty purse from back which again someone would have had to go over the backseat to pull back privacy screen and that is still intact. Cash in glove compartment was still there, Ray Ban sunglasses still there. We were not given access to hotel security camera which I expect would have shown the window being smashed but no one getting into the car. Purse was clearly taken before car even was parked. We discuss with both parking manager who assures us they will pay for repairs and cost to rent a car to get back. Parking manage is clearly rattled as hotel has two "gated and secured" floors of building they us to park. We also speak with hotel manager on site after we report to Seattle police. We think it was clearly inside job at this point as police department is aware hotel has ongoing issues like this. Hotel manager on duty offers us a "cup of coffee" to go as have to rent a car. Hard to fathom this offer on a hotel bill over $400 and huge inconvenience. Completely disgusted with experience here.

Perfect!

Our stay in Seattle started at the cusp of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was announced that a large portion of downtown was being shut down due to confirmed cases. The staff at the Olympic were beyond kind and considerate. They went out of their way to make us feel safe and secure. Their amazing dedication to their profession is why I will definitely come back and stay again. They all deserve medals!

It was Ok

Customer review rating 4.6/5

Anonymous Couples - 14/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have stayed with fairmont in SF and Victoria. While our house was being remodeled, we figured we would treat ourself to a little bit of that divine fairmont experience... except it was not. Let me start by saying that your staff is amazing and they do everything they can to make the stay magical. The problem is with the building itself - it just does not seem to be quite to the high fairmont standard. First, the main lobby (which I assume is the biggest selling point) is closed for renovations. This was a major letdown because aside from that, the rest of the hotel does not have much special to offer. The pool is pretty outdated. The rooms and general decor are Ok. Certainly not as nice as other Fairmont hotels I’ve stayed at. Keep in mind, you pay premium for - among others - the beautiful accommodations. Now, the highlights. Like I said, the staff is amazing and does everything they can to make your stay magical. The in room dining was delicious.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. K., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel - Seattle. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We do sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding renovations and ironic that you were trying to escape the exact thing. I do hope you will return and give us the opportunity to Wow you a bit more when renovations are complete as it really will be spectacular. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Renee Wigner Executive Assistant Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Choose Inside Room

Customer review rating 4.6/5

Jspotts Couples - 13/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

First let me say this is a fabulous hotel. The staff was very helpful and very sweet. It has plenty of amenities also. They were under construction in the lobby, but still everything was clean and orderly. Our room was very spacious and beautiful. The only thing we would definitely change is to only reserve an inside room or one that does not over look the busy street that we had. No one ends up caring about a view room when the street noise is so loud that you cannot sleep. Maybe the hotel windows on the street side need thicker glass. We ate breakfast in their onsite restaurant (fantastic food) and we both noticed that while sitting right by a window, neither of us could hear any of the heavy morning street traffic that was directly outside our window. Maybe the restaurant could shed some light on what they did to keep the noise out.

I had four hotel rooms for a weekend with 8 total guests. It was a great time, despite the lobby and restaurants being shut down. We did notice inconsistency with our rooms. Some had complimentary water bottles, others did not. All rooms were same floor and 'type'.
