We were married at the Swantown Inn in a private ceremony. We booked the elopement package, and it was great. Casey and Nathan took care of all the details, we just picked the colors of our flowers and cake, and showed up with our marriage license and rings. It made for a completely stress-free wedding planning experience. And the ceremony... more

This is a really great B&B. Beautiful, luxurious, but homey feeling too. Stayed in the Columbia room and were not at all put off by the bathroom across the hall-- it's just like at home, except with a much much more beautiful bathroom (claw-foot tub). Towels, bathrobe, bed, were all luxurious. Only complaint was that breakfast was a bit heavy... more

I stayed at the Swantown Inn for three nights and I have to say that it is, without a doubt, the best place to stay in Olympia. The building is interesting, the innkeepers courteous and inviting, and the food is wonderful. Another wonderful thing about Swantown is the accessibility to the state government buildings and the rest of town, not... more

Thank you for the positive review! We do believe we provide a comfortable and affordable alternative to local hotels. We are extremely close to the Capitol Campus making us ideal for business travelers with meetings with government.

This B&B seriously benefits from the lack of accommodations in Olympia, WA, particularly during legislative sessions and local college events. Over a 3-day stay, we experienced a lack of clean/changed towels, no fresh water glasses, and dirty shower curtains. The Innkeeper is overly chatty and intrusive during breakfasts. In particularly, beware of making changes in room selections or you will... more

To our future guests: We always provide a confirmation with the amount, including tax, of your stay when a reservation is made, and we go over all charges upon check in as well so there are no surprises. This was the case here as well. Our Bed and Breakfast is not only inspected by the Washington State and Thurston County...

I have always wanted to stay overnight in a Bed and Breakfast so this was my special treat to stay at the Swantown Inn in Olympia, WA for 4 nights. Nathan and Casey were friendly and helpful but never intrusive. Along with the friendly conversation with the other guests, I enjoyed the homecooked breakfasts that were served in their nice... more

Thank you for mentioning our new King beds! All of our rooms feature these somewhat unique handcrafted mattresses. Our idea was to provide all of our guests with the luxury of a great bed in a size we are not all lucky enough to have at home. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

We are serious fans of B & Bs and really liked The Swantown Inn. It was our first trip to Olympia and we found it an easy place to get around and very friendly. This was a combination birthday trip and a visit to see our daughter who moved to Olympia in late 2007. Nathan and Casey are great hosts,... more

Old fashioned luxury in a Victorian house filled with antiques. We wish our honeymoon had been this enjoyable. The breakfasts are to be savoured slowly as you converse with owners about the house and its history and local pleasure spots. This home and it's location near the Capitol, the Sound, and theOlympia downtown will give you the full Northwest experience. more

My husband and I stayed as a treat to ourselves before our second child is born. The Swantown is a lovely place to stay. Our room was very comfortable and the owners were very interesting and personable. If you are not from the area, they will give you great advise on where to go to eat and where to sightsee.... more

My husband and I stayed here as a special treat for our anniversary. We are sure glad we did. The house has a very interesting history and the decore is great. Our room was lovely. The bed was really really comfy. The bathroom was across the hall but still very private. We didn't mind that at all. It also had... more

I stayed at the Swantown Inn in July, 2007. I really enjoyed my stay for many reasons, not the least of which was its convenient location to my family in Olympia. In addition to that aspect, it was a great experience. I stayed in the small room with the private bath across the hall. Although it was a bit inconvenient... more
