Overall the stay was good. The temperature was decent and we were able to sleep. The breakfast was good for a hotel downtown.This is a pretty good hotel just needs a little TLC. It could be what it once was. I would stay here again.

It was right down town and convenient to walk to a lot of places. A beautiful park across the street. Unfortunately it was full of homeless people. The hotel needs to be updated and refreshed. Bed was comfortable. Staff were nice and friendly.

Property recently taken over by Red Lion. I'm sure it will be renovated. A/c was not working, everything looks worn and tired, but the bed was amazingly comfortable!

Staff was great. Champagne was ready for us at the front desk at check in. Made our anniversary special. Cheryl at the front desk ran out and got us slippers and robes on request. Handmade AC units gave the room a special feel (in addition to connecting with the adjacent locals down by the train tracks). Additional spoons were available for late night ice cream snacks!

All rooms are bad. Property reeks. Check-in gal said property is going to get remodeled, so all rooms are neglected. Not worth going even though centrally located.

Good location is only real plus. Hotel is in extreme neglect, to the point it was actually comical. A/C broken, bathtub cracked and peeling, faucet dripping, cobwebs in the light fixtures, bedspread torn, swimming pool abandoned…for example.

We loved the view of the capitol and the harbor from the top floor room. The AC was out and the room was near 100 degrees both days in spite of everything we could do, so we did not sleep until well past midnight each night when it cooled down enough to be comfortable.

Maybe next time

Hotel called to cancel my reservation two hours before check in. Due to lack of air conditioning in the entire hotel. I feel the staff handled the situation well. Allowed me to change reservations to another Olympia with no fees or charges .

They’re trying but property is very worn out

The staff was helpful and nice. The property is incredibly worn out. Very little was actually broken but things were so worn they might break down at any time. The AC was broken on a very hot day. The bathtub was so worn I couldn’t tell if it was dirty or not.
