Property is in a bad area of Olympia. The hotel and rooms were nasty. We reserved the room so we wouldn’t have to drive home after a party at a friends house. After checking in we decided immediately to drive home that night. The leather head board had large holes in it from use and rest of room, like the hotel, was outdated and just seemed outdated. It was so bad we were not going to stay. I guess the Red Lion properties aren’t what they used to be.

Very clean and nice looking hotel. You can tell the building itself is on the older side but they’ve done a great job of remodeling. I think a few more improvements could be made l, like updating the heating/cooling system in the rooms to where you can set and actual temperature rather than high, low, etc.
Front desk staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, she offered some great suggestions for things to do. They allowed us to check in early too which was great. Love that it’s within walking distance of the waterfront, farmers market and lots of shops.

I thought the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was good. But the building is old and needs updating, the windows and doors in the lobby and exits need to be cleaned. The area outside did not feel safe and there was a lot of trash. It is also a hangout for the homeless. Felt kind of sad.

The finish in the bathtub was peeling. The hotel had signage requiring mask wearing, yet half the staff did not wear a mask. The soap and shampoo available in the bathroom was very nice. The hotel advertised AC but it didn't work.

Staff was great! I wish the up keep was a bit better. Curtains need to be updated or cleaned, bathroom shower curtain needs to be replaced, need to have a fan or working air vents fans whatever you want to call it way to hot couldn't get cool enough to sleep throught the night. Shower was amazing.

The property was ok kinda old decor but the staff was extremely nice and the complementary breakfast was great. The only problem I had was key card didn’t work the second night went downstairs and she fixed it right away. Oh and the elevator in the morning took for ever usually took the stairs from the 4th floor, but they had a sign posted only one elevator working and they were waiting for them to be replaced so can’t really complain.
