Fairmont Olympic Hotel
The room was clean and comfortable, but a bit outdated. Beds were comfortable. The shower had very low water pressure. We had a nice view and the room was quiet except for traffic noise, but noise died down by bedtime.

Friendly, professional, attentive, staff extremely clean. We will be back! The only issue we had was the outlet didn’t work near the sink. The GFI was bad, so couldn’t blow dry or curl my hair, but was able to improvise.
