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!

Room was great besides the heater not working! They offered to move us rooms to accommodate us but we didn’t see the point since we were leaving the following day.
