1. I was surprised at the lack of attention or greeting from the doorman (twice) but the courteous and rapid check in at Reception restored my initial perception of the hotel.
"An elegant, stylish hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor   3/10/2012 Vote      
2. There was no shampoo in the bathroom (two bodywash instead, so lack of care in placing toiletries).
"Nice, but not always right " Read full review on TripAdvisor   1/31/2012 Vote      
3. The room we had was large and clean with a comfy bed and lots of towels and toiletries but there was something lacking in the hotel.
"Not terribly special " Read full review on TripAdvisor   10/23/2011 Vote      
4. We eventually solved all the other issues on our own (except for the lack of a microwave).
"Beautiful Hotel with Wonderful Amenities " Read full review on TripAdvisor   9/28/2011 Vote      
5. Only complaint is that the room lacked conveniently located power outlets.
"Nice stay...super housekeeping staff " Read full review on TripAdvisor   8/29/2011 Vote      
6. My only reservation was the lack of personal contact during the stay- eg no greeting ever from any of the door staff, who were too busy sorting out cars/ taxis or chatting to each other to ever make eye contact with someone going in or out of the hotel.
"Beautiful, historic location- a bit impersonal " Read full review on TripAdvisor   8/10/2011 Vote      
7. A bit lacking in modern features though with no electrical outlets accessible except in the bathroom.
"Exceeded some expectations, a little subpar in others " Read full review on TripAdvisor   6/19/2011 Vote      
8. The decor is very fussy and a little dated but the bathrooms and room amenities were adequate although the room lacked a coffe maker.
"Great base hotel for sightseeing " Read full review on TripAdvisor   1/14/2011 Vote      
9. Unlike many hotels today, you can get an a la carte breakfast in the main dining room or downstairs coffee shop rather than being forced, for lack of alternatives, into an expensive buffet breakfast.
"Terrific Hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor   10/27/2010 Vote      
10. The service in the past was sometimes hit or miss, and the rooms were nice but the quality of details (like towel quality, housekeeping, or room service) was occassionally lacking.
"Fairmont Olympic got her groove back " Read full review on TripAdvisor   5/23/2010 Vote
