Dated. Dirty. Disgusting. Disappointed.

This hotel was horrible. Dirty and gross. Total bait and switch with the photos. Don’t stay here. Hopefully you read the reviews. Spend the extra money for a Holiday Inn

They’re trying but property is very worn out

The staff was helpful and nice. The property is incredibly worn out. Very little was actually broken but things were so worn they might break down at any time. The AC was broken on a very hot day. The bathtub was so worn I couldn’t tell if it was dirty or not.

8/10 Very good

Nice staff, not so nice temperature!

The air conditioning system dis not work in the entire building. It was so hot in the rooms and the hallway. We had a sliding glass door that said we could only open 3 inches but it was so unbearable we opened it further. The staff was so nice and they were so hot and still had a smile. The ice machines did not work but the front staff had ice in a cooler for guests. The was a carnival going on below us so we heard music and laughter that was ok with us! The room we were in had a beautiful view too.

The room was fine and clean the hotel was convenient was fine except the morning customers service lady carol she was kinda of rude and unprofessional
Razunda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bathtub coating is disintegrating so the underneath/inside of the structure is showing, leaving large holes...very disturbing and looks dirty. The property is very old and needs updating drastically.

Hotel not maintained

This hotel is clearly not being maintained. Our toilet did not work, the manager downstairs was kind (but seemingly the only staff member on site), we was able to locate a plunger and give it to us (to plunge the toilet ourselves). Ultimately we chose not to use the toilet in the room and is the one in the lobby. AC did not work, making for a very hot night of sleeping. Air vents in the room haven’t been cleaned/changed in a long time. Beds were ok.

2/10 Poor

The rooms and bathroom are decrepit and disgusting. I discovered bedbugs on the bed shortly after arriving and immediately requested a room change. However, the situation was unacceptable, and I checked out within a few hours.

BUGS

It was easy and affordable to book. But there were so many bugs in the room, not bed bugs, but so many dead ones and baby ones around the room. The pillow cases had a few stains on them as well. NOT a well maintained place by any means.
Joe, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is a very outdated hotel.We moved to 2 different rooms and they all.had issues. Water running, sliding door was wide open and wouldn't shut, curtains ripped. The carpet is filthy, mold in the shower. Area around hotel is sketchy. I didn't feel my car was safe in the parking garage. We would not recommend staying here.

Red Lion Inn & Suites Olympia, Governor Hotel

If you're looking for a fancy hotel, this is not for you. It's a bit rundown, but I understand they are planning a renovation. The staff were pleasant, and it was clean. It was conveniently located near transit and the performance venue I attended, and there are good dining options nearby. The only negative I experienced was that the room was a bit too warm, and turning the cooling to maximum seemed insufficient. By the time I returned to the room around midnight, the temperature had come down to 73° F, which was tolerable. Overall, the hotel suited my purpose.
