I stay at the Governor Hotel at least 4 times a year and have for the last several years. I am an elected official and have business during the legislative season in Olympia. The location is perfect. I don't need a car...I can exercise by walking around the lake, I am close to all restaurants and city attractions...I can jump on a bus by ...

I stayed at the G. House years ago - what a dive! But the (recent?) renovation has helped a great deal. The lobby still smells funky but the rooms are very comfy and clean (and do not smell), the king-sized pillow-top bed was just the ticket after a day walking around downtown Olympia. The views on both sides are wonderful - either Capitol Lake ...

The hotel property is very old and in need of a serious upgrade. The carpets are dirty, paint is fading and the place generally shows its age.

This is a great place to stay. The Hotel is historic, but clean and convenient. There is a park across the street, the bus stops right out front. It is within walking distance to the Capitol, the Oysterhouse and many wonderful Olympia destination points. The staff was extemely accomodating. While we were there a State Representative dropped ...

The location is great all walking distance. Yes a older hotel with all the feeling and little imperfections that make it unique. Not a fancy place but comfortable, I would go back.

A good resturant is "The Mark" and then off to a show at the Harliquin Theatre.

Again, not fancy a little run down with age but because of that it has its own character anc charm.

The stay was quite comfortable. Very friendly staff. Room was fine the bathtub was showing wear , but other than that it was fairly quite and relaxing. Outdoor pool was in good shape too.

This hotel is better than some of the cheap Motor Lodges you find on the side of the freeway, but it needs to be updated. The furnishings are a bit worn including the bathrooms. They have high speed internet, but it is not wireless and is located next to the bed and not next to the desk where you could acctually sit to use your computer. They have ...

We were accidentally bumped from a 3 star hotel and sent to stay in this hotel for free. It wasn't worth it. As stated in other reviews, bathrooms were horrendous. Green fungus? in peeling tub, rust around sinks and what appeared to be, urine dripping on bathroom door. The sheets were so threadbare you could see the mattress design due to ...

the rooms were a little need of repair but the hospitality of the staff along with the excellent restaraunt next door made up for it all. the view on the lakeside was incredible. highest reccomendation
