Once they get the remodeling done it will be a great place to stay. Even with the construction the staff was friendly and helpful.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel. The bed was super comfortable and the room was nice overall. The AC wasn’t working, but there were fans provided and sliding doors that opened fully. The room was a little run down, but for the most part, it was good. It also included a nice free breakfast with light refreshments, cereal, pastries, and bagels. I would stay again.
Rachael, 1-night trip

Terrible. If you want a dirty place to stay, this is where you should book your stay.

4/10 Fair

Check in was simple and Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable…BUT our room was GROSS! Carpets were nasty, bathroom smelled of old urine, tub/shower looked so gross we wouldn’t even use it… and the air conditioning didn’t work, so at floor seven the room was as hot of the seventh level of hell. Glad we were only there one night.
Jaclyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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 .

Tyler, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We parked in the parking garage you have to ring the bell to be let in, the employees didn't hear it because they both were outside taking a break. When asked if the door was locked at a certain time, they lied and said yes. I confirmed with another worker when I checked out. We had to walk around thru the ally in the dark its not the most safest place in olympia for 2 women to be walking, The Hotel doesn't have air conditioning. the bed was comfortable, and they have a later check out then most.
