Beautiful, historic building. Rooms are clean on the surface but wiring behind the bed looked like it hadn’t been dusted in a while. We were traveling with kids and no amenities provided for kids

Pros (+) Staff and location excellent.
Cons (-) Hotel partly closed for renovation during our stay.
Cons (-) We booked a “Family Package” but were placed in non adjoining rooms. I hate this- it always happens and hotels pretend to not be in control of the reservation or room assignment. We were separated from our kids and it made the whole experience anxious. We booked 4 months in advance- they got my credit card- I should have got an adjoining room.
Cons (-) Small windows, not much light. Also very limited tv options. Would d like access to Netflix.
Pros (+) Great location and friendly staff.
Pros (+) Hotel and service were both great. Would stay here again.
Cons (-) We had an unexpected guest stay the night with us and apparently due to fire codes we could not get a rollout bed delivered. We were in a suite so I don't know what type of room it would have fit in.
Pros (+) Close to business district, restaurants, and entertainment...
Cons (-) Given the room rate, free bottled water should be supplied...not $8 per bottle.
Pros (+) Nice rooms
Pros (+) Great location, short walk to Pike Place Market.
Cons (-) Wifi is not included in the room price.
Pros (+) The Fairmont was the perfect romantic weekend getaway. Walkable to coffee, wine bar, excellent resturants, several theaters and Pike Place for breakfast at Lowell's. Service was top-notch. Staff was personable and attentive.
Cons (-) I didn't like having to leave.
