"A motel isn't expected to be great. This motel is great. The location is very convenient to Olympia. The property, while older, is in very good condition. They have upgraded the bathrooms, and the public spaces are always clean. They have an indoor pool and jacuzzi. They have tables and chairs outside which also allow for pets with a smoking area. The staff is the best part of this experience. Bre, who manages at night, was fantastic! She went way above and beyond to ensure we had extra pillows, blankets, etc. The house cleaning staff is super nice and very polite. The breakfast team and food are great. Overall, this is the best deal and stay in the area. Strongly recommended!"
