Christine C. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel and staff are beautiful and amazing. But there seems to be some sort of a miscommunication between calling either the American Express customer service line or the hotel service line because an accommodation that I was told I could have was not honored. However, the ability to use the American Express platinum benefits was very convenient.

We strive for clarity and efficiency in our services, and your feedback is valuable in identifying areas for improvement. I am pleased to know that you found our American Express platinum benefits convenient during your stay. Thank you for choosing Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle. Best regards, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle

Everyone working at the hotel was lovely. I was excited to use the pool and jacuzzi during my stay - looked lovely in photos. It was gross - lots of kids, dirty water. I ended up leaving after 3 min and never went back.

Dinner at the George was the highlight of my stay. Great food and better bar staff!! When I checked into my room there was a used glass with some liquid in it by the bed. Strange, but I left it out by the door to be picked up by staff. Later in the evening my toilet was running so I trained to use Royal Service to report the issue but no one came. I sat down to try calling Royal Service again and insist to speak to a human and at that time saw that one of the glass water bottles was more than half used on the desk (probably aligned with the glass by the bed?). The woman I talked to was very nice and said she’d send up an engineer immediately. I mentioned the water/glass situation and she said she’d send up another bottle. The engineer was great, friendly and polite. The ring in the toilet bowl had worn out so he replaced that piece and I didn’t have trouble again with the toilet ! The next day, I didn’t get room service at all. To be fair when I checked in the front desk asked if I wanted to have some kind of room service, which I understood to be room service that just tidied up the room without changing sheets each day. I had used the coffee, tea and glasses provided as well as several towels. I rinsed out the cups and called Royal service for more coffee. The next day, I again didn’t get room service. Now I’m really short on towels, don’t have any coffee, stir sticks or mugs. This meant i again needed to call Royal service for assistance. I asked to speak to a human, because it was a list of things that I needed. When I voiced my concern about room service, or the lack of service, she mentioned that I should take the tag off my door. This surprised me, because I had no tag. I felt like I was misled about the type of service I had been offered, because it felt like such a drag to need to call people up to my room each night, instead of getting these things replaced during the day in a normal housekeeping rotation. For the price of the room and reputation of the hotel, I was totally let down. I travel here for work and for fun often and was excited to try a new-to-me-Seattle hotel. I’m not sure that I’ll prioritize a return stay with so many other options

Dear Kristina S., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Olympic Hotel. I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your visit. It is concerning to hear that your room was not adequately prepared upon check-in, and that you experienced issues with the toilet and room service. Thank you for your kind comments regarding your dining experience at The George and your positive interactions with our team. It is always our goal to deliver exceptional service, so I am truly sorry to learn that we fell short of your expectations with housekeeping during your stay. While we do offer a light service option that includes tidying the room without daily linen changes, I understand that this was not clearly communicated, and for that I sincerely apologize. As part of our Earth Day Everyday program, guests may opt out of full daily housekeeping service and, in return, receive a $10 credit per day. Please know that we are always happy to accommodate your preferences. At any time, you may contact Royal Service, and our team will promptly provide additional towels, amenities, or arrange for full service as requested. We strive to ensure our guests are fully informed and comfortable with the services provided. Your feedback is invaluable, and I assure you that it will be taken into consideration as we continuously work to improve our guest experience. We hope you will reconsider and allow us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best wishes, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle
