Visited family and friends in Olympia. The governor house is always my first choice because it’s right downtown and has a few of the lake. Yes, it needs a bit of spiffing up, but the reception desk is very responsive and helpful

Awfully terribly terrible
This was the worst, most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Unfortunately, a local music festival promoted this as ‘the hotel’ to stay at. I was 2 hours late for the music because the door to my room wouldn’t lock. They claimed someone was coming in 15min but they didn’t arrive for 3hrs. They didn’t offer to move my room and I was forced to put my belongings in my car so Not to miss my good friends play and the money spent to see them. In addition, I had the worst shower - the tub didn’t drain, the water went from burning hot to freezing cold every 2min - I was scalded and frozen without touching anything. There was paint splatter alll over everything in the bathroom. It also felt very unsafe with the amount of shenanigans in the lobby and parking lot. When another guest saw me with the person fixing my door I was asked if I was ok because this man was very strange and tweaking out like he was on drugs - it seems odd a hotel would give this man a key and machine to unlock all the rooms. I would Like a refund for this horrible experience!!!!
