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. Nice and quiet, so much that we thought we were in the country somewhere... More

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.

Before booking, we reviewed all the potential places to stay in Olympia (we were traveling from Portland to the Olympic NP area) and thought the Red Lion would be adequate. I would highly recommend finding a location other than Olympia. The hotel was in desperate need of update, although the staff was friendly and helpful.

Stayed fir the weekend with a large family group gathering for a wedding. Rooms were nice, comfortable beds, free wireless Internet. Breakfast buffet was good. Could have been stocked better with food. Nice grounds. We walked to the capitol grounds.

We were ther for only one night but we were treated as though we were very important. Our room was very nice and since we had our 15 year old doxie with us we were given a room that had outdoor access to a patio with a lawn. Molly enjoyed being able to get outdoors easily and quickly.

The room is spacious but needs some updates. The TV is old, which is surprising. Very few electrical outlets by the bed. The heat is OK but on cool nights the room is left cold when you check in. The bathroom is cramped and the toilet is old. Next to it is a very large tub room. The toilet should... More

My wife and I needed a place to stay overnight in Olympia that would be okay with our little white dog, and the Red Lion was very accommodating. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed.

I stayed at the Red Lion in Olympia on a business trip. The hotel is in what seems to be an office park; however, it stands out because of the beautiful landscaping and lovely trees. There is ample parking after you drop off your bags out front. Had made reservations and even had a confirmation number, but the desk clerk... More
