Verified Reviews of Red Lion Inn & Suites Olympia Governor Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Poorly Maintained and No Heat."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
This is an older building that needs Maintenance and Main Systems updated. Staff is trying to help but can only do so much. Our room had no heat for the two nights we stayed before going to another Hotel. First night without Heat we were brought a blanket and the promise of a Space Heater which never arrived. Second night was told they had been having trouble fixing the HVAC system and knew it was out. A radiator type space heater was brought up but it didn't work well. Bath/shower had large chunk of fiberglass missing and Moldy patches on ceiling. Property is in major need of maintenance. Cheap rate wasn't worth the lack of basic amenities.

"Run down room in bad neighborhood."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Stained and patched bathtub. Black soap awful. Bed itself only good thing. Hall floors around back entrance needed mopping. Felt seedy throughout. Not Red Lion quality. Got there through Priceline. Big mistake.

Overall Score1.0/ 5
The hotel is filthy. We booked a room but, we left after viewing two rooms. No way would we stay there.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
The Governor / Red Lion is an old hotel in a great location. The rooms and bed were clean and comfortable but the bathroom had some peeling paint. The A/C was inefficient but the staff, including maid service was excellent. We could walk to wonderful restaurants, coffee, trails and shops but the reality of homelessness was clear along the way. I enjoyed my stay with the teenage grandchildren and really appreciated the reasonable price.

Overall Score1.0/ 5
On July 21, 2020, I talked with your desk at 800 487 2175 and told them that our event at the Red Lion had been cancelled because of COVID 19. I wanted to reschedule at a later date. She said that refund was not possible but a credit voucher would be sent to my email address. Not receiving the voucher, on 7 23 2020 I talked to Marian at the same number and I was told that the credit voucher was first being cleared by the hotel. Nothing was ever heard from them. I am out $585. I am not a happy customer.
Robert F. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

Overall Score3.0/ 5
We spent two nights, had to change a room because the A/C sounded really loud and the headboard was falling apart. The management was nice enough to move us for the 2nd night and it was much better.
Howard W. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
19-Jun-2020 Verified Review, stayed from Wed Jun 17 to Thu Jun 18 2020 at a $102.38 average nightly rate. "Average place to stay."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
This place is definitely not what I expected. After looking at the pictures advertised on their website, I was expecting a marvelous and luxurious place; however it wasn't. The room had poor lighting, people at the front desk had poor customer skills and the place wasn't the cleanest. Overall, the only positive aspect of the hotel is that its conveniently located at the heart of Olympia. Restaurants are within walking distance and if you are looking for coffee, you are better off walking across the street for Starbucks.

14-Jan-2020 Verified Review, stayed from Wed Jan 08 to Thu Jan 09 2020 at a $75.01 average nightly rate. "We won't stay here again. Very disappointing."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
My friend and I were disappointed with our overnight stay at the Governor House for several different reasons. Only one of the two elevators was working and the one that worked took a long time. The room was pretty utilitarian, nothing posh or fancy at all. At least it was clean! We had to ask the front desk for more towels so we would both have enough towels for morning showers. The room was very cold when we first walked in. We turned up what appeared to be a thermnostat. When we returned from dinner, the room was even colder. We had gotten caught in the rain and were very wet and the icy cold room was a disaster. We had to wear our coats and socks. I had to call the front desk three times and a maintenance man was sent up with a space heater. He checked out the "thermostat" and informed us it was for the air conditioning and it was turned up full blast! When asked where was the heat setting, he told us there was no heat in each individual room, only a general building heating! I never heard of such a thing in a hotel! The first heater he brought didn't work at all, I had to call again for a replacement and ask for additional blankets as we were freezing! The second heater worked but it took hours for the room to be comfortable. The continental breakfast was nothing to talk about, with paper plates and cups and plastic utensils. We complained to the mgr. about the room who offered to give us 25% off our stay, I told her at least 50% would be more appropriate since we froze our butts off for most of the time we were awake. We won't stay here again. Very disappointing.

Testimonials:
"Thank you so much for an amazing website. I had a very short time frame to manage a bus tour of 45. I needed hotels and banquets in less than 10 days. The destination was West Palm Beach - high season - and effectively sold-out. Within two hours I had responses back from three available hotels within my price range. I was able to sign a contract within 24 hours and manage the rest of the program. I continue to be impressed with your concept and will be a frequent user of your site." L.B. - Grand Rapids, MI
