Red Lion Inn & Suites Olympia, Governor Hotel

This hotel as a whole it tired, tatty and falling apart where it’s not broken already. The room was not particularly clean including the dirty sock left from a previous guest. The bath was peeling and there was mould on the walls. The bath tap dripped the entire stay. The glass lamp was broken and the room so cold that we had to get a heater from reception. Breakfast consisted of coffee/tea, fruit juice, apples, cereal, milk, bread and bagels. Nothing hot unless you used a very slow toaster. The dining room was cold and unwelcoming with several bulbs missing from the lights. The staff were helpful and mainly smiley but are limited as to what they can do in the circumstances.

First off the hotel is not what the same hotel in the images very deceiving. Secondly, I asked for a refund due to a very unsatisfactory stay. The SWAT team was there and set off Flash Bombs and having the K-9 squad arrive at 3 AM my first night staying there. They refused this refund saying “Nothing Happened” It was on the news and turns out isn’t the first time the SWAT team has had to show up at this hotel. My safety was put at risk and they said “Nothing Happened”. I don’t believe the SWAT team and K-9 squad would have been there if “Nothing Happened”. The hotel manager Alana thinks She has the right to tell you how safe you felt in a high stress situation. She said I paid for this kind of experience. I was heavily pregnant during my stay so it was a health risk for me to be in a high stress situation. The SWAT team has visited this location more than once! Thirdly there is a homeless camp right next to the parking garage where they have easy access to guest vehicles due to giant openings facing the train tracks where the camp is located. It doesn’t seem like a very safe location and I definitely won’t be staying here ever again. If you value your safety you won’t stay here either. Parking is one of their amenities but they claim it isn’t apart of their hotel. It’s their parking garage but they have no control over it.

Started in room 504 , was very clean and warm , came back got stuck in room 500..noo heat ,cold damp shivering.cheap space heater didn't help.. finally got room 508 was warm, heater worked but sliders didn't open more than 3 inches to very small balcony and curtains and walls surrounding balcony were covered and infested with black mold ,..no wonder I feel so f. N sick and can't stop puking..I know it's not entirely the minimum wage employees fault but it is 100% on the corporate kok sulker owners.who don't care if you get sick or die .. just give us your minimum wage money because we can't live on only $30,000 a month each ..I took many pics and videos and will be forwarding them to local , state and federal health inspectors...and posting on every social media...WTF

A hotel full of history, but one that seems to be from a few decades ago. Our room was cold (maybe it hadn’t been used for some days?), an old sock was tucked under a chair and a long hair on the bedside table. Breakfast was poor with nothing hot though there was a toaster for small bagels and toast. The breakfast room was cold. But the bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly, and there was coffee in the foyer all day. Needs a major facelift and refresh to regain its old glory.

There is no hot water. Nay, not even warm water. Taps are all ice cold after running 30 minutes. Cannot take a shower or even wash hands decently. Do not stay here. The neighborhood is decent enough during the day, but breaking glass and police sirens kept waking us up. Do not stay here.

A very convenient spot to stay. Easy walk to multiple restaurants and shops in downtown Olympia. Extremely affordable, included a simple yet varied breakfast. The view of water and sunset from my room was beautiful. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional.
