Hotel RL Olympia

Red Lion was amazing! My Husband competes in body building and the NW Tanji Johnson Classic was held at Olympia center this weekend. As per my husbands request with the hotel 30 days prior, to ask for old sheets and towels so they would not ruin with the spray tan. Red Lion staff was on it and totally wonderful and they knew exactly what to do and did it for us when we arrived and checked in. Thanks so much, we look forward to next year. Tara Knight

The entire facility was visibly filthy. The hallways are loud so you cannot sleep. The shower curtain in my room had either fecal matter or blood on it. My sheets smelled awful. I almost left in the middle of the night. I will probably see my doctor to be certain I didn’t get some sort of communicable disease. I’m not joking. I will NEVER recommend ANYONE stay here again. Manager “unavailable” to voice my concerns.

I stayed at this hotel about two or three years ago. It was going through what management called "a major renovation" at that time. So I was interested to see how it all looked since my last trip. The bar/restaurant was very nice with good service and food. The check in was quick and easy. The Halls looked great compared to my last visit and my room was comfortable and clean. What amazed me was the following: 1) the front desk is still two rolling chest toolboxes stacked end to end. That was a temporary solution during the renovation but now appears permanent. I think the coffee bar area should be replaced with a new reception and front desk. 2) Why didn't you replace some of the worn out furniture as part of the renovation? While the TV stand/armoire was in good shape and the bed was comfortable, everything else looked and felt like 1970. The chair at the desk scared the hell out of me when I sat down in it so I didn't use it anymore and went down to the bar to work in a comfortable chair. It's a good walk from the hotel to the Olympia Oyster House (.75 mile) but we'll worth it!

Every thing was fine!

The room was cute and comfy. the bar and restaurant were excellent. Price was good. Just would have preferred to have coffee available in the room so I didn't have to go wander around conference attendees to get my first cup of coffee. Also would have loved a year round pool/
