I love the Fairmont brand, but this particular hotel is an embarrassment to Fairmont. The service is mediocre, concierge hours are short and the rooms have significant stains on the bathroom wallpaper. Is it unfortunate because the structure and public areas are beautiful. I suggest going elsewhere where they maintain their property and train the staff.

Our room was directly located above the ballroom where a party or wedding reception was being held. At 10:00 on Saturday night, the party was in full swing with the DJ playing booming music. The manager “thought “ it would end at 11:00. He did also generously adjust my room charges but c’mon - this should be UNACCEPTABLE for the Fairmont. If I wanted a raucous party to keep me up after a long trip from the east coast - I could stay at a far cheaper hotel.

Dear Mr. K., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay. I sincerely apologize for the disturbances you experienced due to the event taking place in our ballroom. We strive to create a tranquil environment for our guests, and I regret that this was not your experience. Your comments regarding noise levels and room placement have been noted, as we recognize the importance of restful accommodations. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that our team was able to adjust your charges. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to provide a more enjoyable experience in the future. Sincerely, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle

Certainly the people were wonderful. My disappointment was in two areas. I used the men's locker room adjacent to the pool. In the showers the best I could get was luke warm to cool water. The body wash bottles in both showers were gone - no sign of them any where. The lotion bottles by the sinks were completely empty. Obviously a lack of monitoring. When we went to check out the Ai system could not understand a request for someone to come get luggage. It thought I was trying to check in and find my luggage to get it to the room. Then I was put on hold - 20 minutes later I surrendered and went down to the front desk. There was only one person there with a line of 5 guests waiting. I then went down to the northern driveway - virtually no one around - I finally took a luggage cart up to the room and brought our luggage down by myself. We have noticed on our recent visits that you simply don't have enough backup to your AI system - if the system doesn't understand the request it is always a 10 to 20 minute wait to talk to a human being. I have stayed with you for 71 years, I am disappointed to experience the decline in service. Garry S.

Management was very flexible and accommodating. I booked the wrong date for our stay, and I was granted a partial credit. Even more importantly, the hotel was able to accommodate us on the day we arrived. I sincerely appreciate the service we received and will remain a loyal customer as a result.

Dear Mr. R., Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that our team was able to accommodate your needs and provide you with a positive experience. It is our goal to ensure that every guest feels valued and well taken care of. We look forward to welcoming you back for your future visits and appreciate your continued loyalty. If you would be so kind as to write a review of your recent stay it would be appreciated. Fairmont Olympic Hotel - Seattle - Google hotels Warm regards, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle
