Hotel RL Olympia by Red Lion

Fast friendly check in, showed me a map when I asked for directions. Great food in the restaurant, thank you.

All was great except for the lack of sleep. I actually have recordings of children running/jumping very late into the night and very early in the morning. To my understanding the family in room above us were there for a convention,& the adults were partying as they should if they want too. However, perhaps a babysitter would have been able to control the children that were left to run& jump across the floor all evening & late into the night. Not allowing us to sleep. My son had a very important meeting he had to attend at 8am ,& 1pm. At the age of 19 years old he had meetings regarding his employment at the Washington State Patrol Academy. Orientation,fittings etc.

I felt right at home during my stay at RL. The room was very cozy, and I had the best nights sleep on a very comfortable bed. I also chose the breakfast option with my reservation. I was amazed by the breakfast choices. Not your average continental breakfast choices. The breakfast burrito meal was amazing. All the staff I met during my stay was so friendly and extremely helpful. I will be a return customer to this fine hotel.

They may be in the process of remodeling the hotel; the lobby and restaurant areas are very nice and look updated and modern. The rooms (including conference rooms) are still dated though, with old school equipment and furniture. In addition, the outside of the hotel around the rooms need a cleaning.

I have stayed at all of the hotels in Olympia and with the recent upgrades this is now my favorite. The new espresso bar is a definite plus allowing for great coffee without having to drive off property. The views of the lake from the restaurant are beautiful. Pet friendly and perfect for families - the location is quiet and only 10 min drive from downtown
