Very Good
Location
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel has an amazing location that is perfect for exploring downtown Seattle. It's centrally located and within walking distance to restaurants, Pike's Market and major tourist attractions. The hotel's excellent location also allows guests to see the surrounding architecture, which includes a mix of old and new buildings. While some travelers found the neighborhood to be a bit sketchy, there are still plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The hotel is also conveniently located close to the Lite Rail station for easy transportation to and from the airport. Overall, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel is well situated for those wanting to walk everywhere and see all the sights Seattle has to offer.

Breakfast
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel offers a range of breakfast options for its guests. Some guests recommend heading to the Shuckers for a quick and delicious morning meal. The breakfast is said to be excellent with many positive comments about the food quality and service. However, some guests wished for more standard American diner options and were disappointed by the poor attempt at a breakfast buffet with limited options. The $36 breakfast buffet received mixed reviews with some describing it as gritty, over creamed eggs and thimble-sized fruit cups. Those who didn't want to dine at the buffet or Shuckers found the limited room service menu disappointing with some of the items even running out. Many guests also complained about the price of the breakfast with some spending $70 on two egg benedicts and two coffees. Some guests experienced long wait times for breakfast orders and food quality issues, such as burned pancakes. Despite some negative feedback, most guests enjoyed their breakfast experience and recommended the hotel for its lovely breakfast service.

Rooms
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is a beautiful and unique hotel with great service and staff. The guest rooms are clean, well-appointed, comfortable and spacious with high-quality fixtures and appointments. Some guests were pleasantly surprised by their corner room with an ocean view, which exceeded their expectations. The beds are huge and comfy and some guests particularly loved the built-in lights. The hotel offers updated rooms, well-furnished executive suites and connecting rooms. It's worth mentioning that each room is evacuated for 48 hours before a guest stay to ensure cleanliness. The hotel also provides robes and slippers for guests to use. On the downside, some reviews mentioned that the facilities are dated with some guests commenting that the rooms and bathrooms could have been nicer or more luxurious. Some rooms are on the smaller side and a few guests found the room design to be plain and lacked attention to detail. Some bathrooms have old fixtures and grimy bathtubs, while some towels are old. A few guests also mentioned noisy pipes in their bathrooms or smelly rooms. However, most guests were happy with clean and well-maintained rooms and overall, the hotel is beautiful and well-kept with a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Beds
The beds at Fairmont Olympic Hotel are a highlight of many guests' stays with plenty praising their comfort and size. Some guests even call them some of the most comfortable beds they've ever slept on. The Fairmont brand earns praise for its excellent beds, while guests sleeping in some rooms report amazing, super comfy mattresses with gorgeous linens. The pillows are another standout with one guest noting they slept "like a baby." However, some rooms may have smaller beds and a few guests reported uncomfortable mattresses. Overall, the hotel seems to deliver on its promise of nice, clean and comfortable beds for a good night's sleep.

Cleanliness
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel has a reputation for providing a clean and comfortable experience for its guests. Rooms are clean and well-appointed with some even featuring in-room coffee bars. The majority of guests report a spotless experience with regular cleaning services and attentive housekeeping staff. Although there are occasional complaints about cleanliness issues in some rooms, the hotel overall is well-maintained and kept clean. The hotel's COVID-19 protocols are also appreciated with each room being evacuated for 48 hours before a new guest stay. The staff are friendly and accommodating, always ensuring that everything is kept nice and clean for a pleasant stay. However, some guests mention issues with old furnishings or unpleasant odors in their rooms. Despite these minor issues, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness throughout the premises.

Staff
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel boasts an exceptional staff that goes above and beyond to ensure their guests have an unforgettable stay. Most guests had nothing but positive things to say about the staff, describing them as lovely, friendly, motivated, professional and accommodating. The concierge and valet staff received special recognition for being exceptionally friendly and helpful. Although some guests mentioned some negative experiences with a few members of the staff, these instances were few and far between. The majority of guests were impressed by the hotel's excellent service, professionalism and attentiveness throughout their stay. The hotel's staff made the stay that much more enjoyable with their warm and welcoming personalities.

Wi-Fi
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel receives mixed reviews regarding their wifi policy. While some guests were frustrated at the extra fees for high-speed internet and wished it was included for free, others appreciated the option to pay for it. Some found it outrageous to pay extra given the already high prices, while others acknowledged that the fees were within their expected range. However, the consensus among reviewers is that access to the internet should be a given and not a paid add-on.

Pool
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel boasts a luxurious Olympic-sized swimming pool and spa that have received rave reviews from guests. Many describe the pool and hot tub as a 5-star experience with some calling it amazing. Although, one reviewer found the pool to be pretty cold, others report the pool and hot tub as a good and enjoyable feature. Some mention that although the pool was not deep at all, it did not detract from its overall experience. It's worth noting that the pool had to be scheduled at a specific time, which some found inconvenient. Unfortunately, some guests reported the pool undergoing maintenance or being closed during their stay – so it is best to inquire during your booking if the facility is available. Nonetheless, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel's pool and spa are described as some of the best amenities offered, making it a great destination and perfect for relaxation.

Parking
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel has a few different options for parking, though some guests found them to be quite expensive. However, if you opt for the valet service, reviewers mention that it's perfect and worth the extra cost. Unfortunately, some guests experienced long wait times for their car through valet, so be prepared for this possibility. Others had to park in a nearby public garage or blocks away from the hotel due to renovations or a lack of available parking. While the attached car park had some negative reviews, there are cheaper options in the area. Overall, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel's parking options have mixed reviews, but it's clear that the valet service is the best choice, albeit expensive. Be sure to ask about any potential fees before checking out to avoid any surprises.
