This Red Lion is a good place to stay in Olympia. Very pleasant surroundings. King room with AAA discount is a great deal. Staff is very helpful.. Good breakfast buffet, esp. for the price. Didn't have a chance to use business center or exercise room. Pool looked nice. Lots of trees.

This is the 10th time I've stayed at this particular Red Lion and it just keeps getting better. They have replaced their TV wardrobes with a combination fridge/microwave/TV shrunk that is smaller and more useful (prior to this many rooms did not have fridges or microwaves). Easy freeway access yet very quiet. The staff was extremely accommodating for our very... More

Our room in the hotel was huge and quiet not to mention the great view. We loved that it was set in it's own mini forest just off the I- 5. We will definitely be back again. Front desk people very friendly. D.M.Greengrass

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights for a convention. While there are a small handful of low points, overall I was very impressed. Checkin: friendly and efficient.

Room furniture was old, but they had furniture stacked in the halls for replacement. Breakfast was disappointing. French toast was average and oatmeal was cold. Front desk was helpful when asked for assistance. Difficult place to find, especially at night.

Our show dog needed two surgeries and we had to stay over a night so she could see the MD next AM after surgery. Great spot, very large place but nested in beautiful trees, short distance to anywhere, nice grass surrounding for pets, very pet friendly.

I think this is the same hotel I stayed at once a couple years ago, but it was under a different name. If so, when Red Lion took over this place, they significantly improved on the property as I seem to recall that it was very much run down back then. Not so, now; the rooms are actually very comfortable... More

We accidentally found this hotel while driving back from the coast to Seattle. It was a lovely property and pet friendly. The breakfast option we took was a little weak. Once the wait person found out we did the buffet option service went down hill. However the view from the dining room was amazing.
