Inspector Pick (Classification): As a fan of the grand European-style hotels, I especially love the old-world charm found in the lobby, the meeting spaces and the formal restaurant.
A historic icon, the Italian Renaissance-style hotel is in the heart of the city. It reflects the grandeur of the past but with modern conveniences. Rooms vary significantly in size. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this grand hotel was built in 1924 and has timeless style.
Smoke free premises. 450 units. 12 stories, interior corridors.

Great Staff!
Pros: The staff was extremely helpful and were fantastic! They were great helping with our rooms as we got adjoining rooms and did not have to pay extra for it. Also, gave us extra coffee and tea.
Great morning room service as well!
Cons: We liked staying at this hotel. I cannot think of a bad thing to say.

To all who enjoy classic...
Pros: Olympic has always been (since 1987) and always will be my Seattle Hotel; truly a classic. Not to mention that Shucker's in the lower level is my very favorite oyster bar in the whole wide world.
Cons: Couldn't have been better.

decent value, spotty service, bright...
Pros: Great location downtown. Reasonable rates.
Cons: Room service was poor. Got skimped on a very expensive dinner entree, and my glass of wine was full of sediment. Instead of just comping it like they should have, they instead sent to my room a full cheese plate and an entire bottle of the same unfiltered wine, and they sent this up to my room when I was in bed and had the do not disturb sign on the door, so I had to get up, put on clothes and answer the door. Very awkward way to apologise, but at least they tried I guess. It was a waste of good cheese though.
Also, bizarrely, they installed excellent blackout curtains, but YOU CAN'T CLOSE THEM, they are fir decoration only. So, the rooms get quite bright at sunrise.

Great downtown location, wonderful staff,...
Pros: Clean room, luxurious pillows, delicious room service breakfast. Beautiful lobby and very friendly and attentive staff.
Cons: I stayed in a corner room and I would not chose that again. It has two walls facing the streets, so good views, but it was loud with city noises. Lots and lots of sirens all through the night and a big screaming fight at 2am. I was thinking I would treat myself to the more expensive room, but was actually disappointed. I was also hoping for a deep bathtub to soak in, but that was not an option in the corner room.

Pros: The remodel of the room was spectacular. Loved the decor. Breakfast in the Georgian room was amazing.
Cons: Shuckers was a disappoinment. The food was cold and the waygu steak was far worse than chuck eye. It was crowded and our waiter inattentive.
The hot tube was dirty. The wall where the lift was needs to be painted. Water mark is ugly.

Pros:
Cons: Valet staff who assisted us with parking our vehicle were always incredible. But at a different time while seeking information from valet staff in their office/ box space we were met with less ficus on customer service. Desk staff were also amazing most of the time. But when we checked in I believe the person may have been having a bad day because they were fairly short with us. So overall staff in the Valley area and both desk areas were mostly incredible so thank you for those staff.
