Carpets showing signs of wear and tear.
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel may have an impressive history but there is one aspect of the hotel that some guests find outdated: its carpets. A number of guests report that carpets are starting to look a little worn and, in parts of the hotel, give off a musty smell.

Additional cost for Wi-Fi not welcomed.
A number of guests are disappointed to learn that the hotel charges by the hour for Wi-Fi access. This disappointment is heightened for some, who describe the connection as slow and unusable. Guests signing up to the hotel's loyalty scheme can enjoy free Wi-Fi access.

On-site parking can be a costly affair.
According to reports, on-site parking at the hotel can be on the expensive side. Guests can opt for self-parking or valet parking, but both come with a steep price tag. On the positive side, in/out privileges are included with the cost.
