Olympic View Golf Club

I traveled with a friend and we had the suite with the pullout sofa. The only negative is that the furniture is dated — which didn’t bother me, but seems to cause a lot of unnecessary hate in the reviews. We had a lovely balcony and could see the harbor between the buildings. It was a great place for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evenings. The hotel is close to the downtown attractions and parking is easy. There is a breakfast/lunch restaurant attached to the hotel and it was delicious and had espresso drinks. I loved this little gem and would totally stay there again.

We thought this would be a real treat staying here but it turned out to be an expensive stay in a pretty average hotel. The robes were over washed cotton ones that I would throw away at home. We paid upfront through Expedia for two rooms and my card was charged $642 after we left and I have called several times to ask why and was told it was an error and my card would be credited, which has not happened and I have had to dispute it with my credit card company. The women’s change room for the pool and gym was absolutely disgusting. Towels piled high on the floor and just generally gross. Clearly they do not have staff to keep the area clean and tidy and I can only assume they clean it once in the morning and then that’s it. By the end of the day it was a disaster area. The staff we dealt with were really fantastic and no complaints there. I had a fantasy to spend my retirement years touring the various fairmont hotels. This stay definitely turned me off that idea.

Great location in city center. Everything is close by. Parking is a little tricky but it’s underground and free so it’s ok. Could use a few updates.
