Pros: Great location
Beautiful room and beautiful hotel
Staff was great and able to fix an error in our reservation without charging us more
Cons: Not able to have breakfast in the hotel as there was a 40 minute wait at the restaurant. There are no other satisfactory options, so we ended up having to go to the W Hotel for Breakfast. This was very disappointing.

Pros: The Fairmont is in an excellent location: short walk to the waterfront (Aquarium, Harbor Cruise, Food); short walk to Pike's Market; decent walk to Space Needle and glass museum; a block away from the transit system to the SeaTac Airport. They kept our luggage safe both before and after our stay when we weren't checked into the room. The hotel is what you expect from a Fairmont - excellent. Bed was great, staff wonderful.
Cons: Escalator was out of order for a little bit but this is splitting hairs because there are elevators. Sh... happens.

Room tax was high and increased the cost considerably.
For these two aforementioned reasons I would not stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel when I return to Seattle later this summer.

Cons: Notify guests before they arrive that the complimentary car service is not only first come first serve but also much longer wait than calculated by drivers due to Seattle being the fastest growing population in the country - Seattle Times

Cons: Hotel being renovated which wasn't imparted at time of reservation. Room not ready despite request for early check in a month in advance. Did have a suite he could upgrade us to for an extra $50 though....
Beds very small to share even though our room was supposed to accommodate 4.

Pros: Great location. Beautiful historic building. Doormen were great!
Cons: The heat in my room did not work. Set at 85 and it was still chilly. When I commented about the heat, I was compensated by a free breakfast. The room was tired and run down. I had just stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim and that was awesome, so the next night in Seattle not so much so...
