I recently stayed at the Fairmont Olympic and want to highlight how warm, friendly, and professional the staff were throughout my visit. Every employee I encountered was kind and clearly committed to providing good service, and the historic ambiance of the hotel is truly lovely. However, a few aspects of the stay didn’t quite meet the expectations of a 5-star hotel. I later discovered it is actually considered a 4 star hotel. That is misleading on Expedia. At peak times, the lobby felt unusually busy and chaotic, which made it hard to move through comfortably. The only breakfast restaurant was completely full with a 45min wait, and no alternative seating or dining options were offered — something that stood out, especially given the hotel’s luxury rating. While there was basic coffee available in the lobby early in the morning, there were no early breakfast options or the ability to get a latte or espresso drink until 7 AM. Earlier food and specialty coffee availability would make a meaningful difference. None of these points take away from how lovely the staff were, but they are noticeable because the hotel is positioned as a 5-star property. With improved crowd management and more flexible morning dining options, the experience could more closely match the high level of service I would think.

I booked a room with breakfast provided. I was told because i used a third party app i would not be eligible for the amenities. I was already on a time crunch so i tolerated it. I want a refund for that stay. Plus i wasn't told about room cleaning, i learned the hard way they use AI it was just bad service. Because of that its not clear if i am indeed safe here

Trip started off by dropping luggage off since we arrived early. Staff told me that the room would be ready in a few hours and I would receive a text. 8 hours later and still no text. Went in and room was clearly ready after standing in a 30 minute line. Went down a few hours later to request extra blankets, stated that they would deliver while we were out. Came back 3 hours later and no blankets. Tried to call the housekeeper number, no answer. So I walked down stairs to again request more blankets. Overall a mediocre experience considering the amount I spent.

I booked a suite with a pull out sofa and a king sized bed. I was traveling with my son and this room offered a little more space and privacy. The sofa was not a pull out - staff offered to bring a roll away bed - or move us into a room with 2 doubles - both of which were problematic. Also - the hotel tried to charge me for food (which we didn't have) and included a $30 / day (+tax) resort fee to my bill - we didn't use any amenities. Very poor - this is not the Fairmont experience / service I'm used to.

We paid for a king bed and a sofa bed but there was no sofa bed (only king bed). We specifically paid a little more for the sofa bed since one of us snores. Also no coffee pods for Keruig in the room. Hotel itself is nice though
