We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont. The location and service are second to none. You are within walking distance to Pike's Place Market and many other great attractions in Seattle. The concierge staff can not do enough for you. The beautiful lobby is a great place to have a cocktail before heading out to dinner. The hotel restaurant,... more

My family and I stayed in two connecting rooms on the 8th floor for two nights. One of the toilets didn't work and it took several calls to the maintenance department to get somebody to fix it. In the other room, one of the air conditioning vents made a loud whistling sound that never seemed to go away. (We wound... more

We booked in for a one-night stay at the Olympic after I had minor surgery in Seattle. Full disclosure here- I work in a hotel myself (not a Fairmont), so I am inclined to be forgiving of little things that go wrong; and we are low-maintenance travellers anyway so our needs are quite basic. That said, we greatly enjoyed every... more

I had extremely high hopes of this "Landmark" hotel and its reputed five diamond status but unfortunately All of the 5 diamond image fell apart in a 24 hrs: Some of the main problems that we had were: - the room was very dusty. Under the cooling unit, you could see layers of dust -the bathroom phone was so dirty... more

Perfect and very consistent 5 star experience. Particularly the staff performed without any glitches. You have to like the classical ambiente though. more

I will have to admit, this hotel is well over rated, especially for the price. I am quite surprised every one reviews it as if its as fancy as staying in one of the Las Vegas 4 or 5 star hotels or better. In Las Vegas, this hotel would be considered a 3 star. The lobby is one of the... more

If I had to rate this hotel and staff on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm giving it a 20. Excellence in EVERYTHING. Hoorah. It's worth every penny spent. I'll certainly be back. more

Having spent the previous night in the W across the street, this hotel was a complete opposite in terms of it's furnishings. The candid photos (by others) do a great job in displaying the traditional classic floral decoration of the rooms, with comfy sofas in lieu of trendy cushion seats. All the usual amenities that you would expect from this... more

Stayed here for a medical meeting. Did not start out well, as, though I had a reserved an Executive King Suite, they warned me that "the only one they had left was on the 2nd floor" (near health club and street noise), despite the fact that I heard them giving the traveler next to me at check-in an upgrade to... more
