Mayflower Park Hotel
Room was great- large and clean. Staff was great at check in. Valet service was very impressive

Fairmont Olympic Hotel
Beautiful, historic 100 year old landmark hotel - would have given it 5 stars but you have to deal with an obnoxious, non-working phone robot when you call the front desk. I would expect that at motel 6 but not a place like this.
