Swantown Inn
This was the perfect place to drop anchor for several days in Olympia. The attention to detail was evident every step of our stay from check in to departure. Breakfast was also amazing as they inquired about any allergies (we are Gluten Free) and they took great care of us. Nice job guys!

Was nice to have a working hot tub…but did have too much chlorine, and a little warmer would have been nice. Pool was on the cold side.. Staff helpful and nice. Will return
