Room dirty. Toilet seat and shower curtain broken, whole building is falling to pieces. Look elsewhere, we decided not to sleep here as the bed had stains on and the room smelt awful and area felt unsafe.

Tumwater is a fun little town.

Far south suburb of Seattle, nice clean, mostly quiet.

4/5 - Good

Too busy for us. But we would visit again.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Tumwater is a neutral for me just due to lack of things to do outside of movies, or beer areas. There is great shopping opportunities for groceries, & west Olympia where the mall is is a short drive. Small hiking trail along the deschutes river.
