3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2007

An old, rundown hotel with very thin sheets on the bed, paper thin walls and a lot of little problems (broken coffee maker, no fridge, no microwave), however at this price you shouldn't expect too much. We stayed here (family of 5) while visiting Legoland and it was perfect. Spacious rooms for a family. and we were close to Legoland... More

The Olympic is a great family hotel not a place for a honeymoon. It is a older facility so don't expect the height of luxory, but for the price it is a good bargin. The bartender Bob was the real star of the facility. He is a true old fashion barman who knows about customer service. That is what is... More

We have recently returned from a 2 week stay at this hotel. This hotel is fine, it may not be 5* but we enjoyed our stay there. Granted the decor is dated but it is clean, clean sheets and towels every day. I saw other motels in the area that were very dodgy and am pleased we chose this hotel.... More

The staff was okay, the grounds were a little rundown, and some of the hallways smelled yucky. The walls are super thin. Parts of the stairways were falling off. We traveled by ourselves. but had one of those rooms with the pass thru door, we could hear the other people whipering, it was pretty annoying as they were up all... More

The Olympic is definitely a risk. It has clearly seen better days, and the staff is often more helpful than competent. We got off to a bad start when they deleted our reservation, which we had made two months in advance. I called them the day before and they said that they had no record of the reservation, and that... More

Yes we had a wonderful time. I have read other reviews on this location and have come to the conclusion that the other reviewers were crazy. Yes this resort did not have the credit card keys for the doors. I think old fashioned keys are great! We were greeted by a warm and friendly staff. We ate in the restaurant... More

From the outside the resort looked okay. The rooms were old and in need of remodeling. The hallways smelled really old. They definitely need new carpet. For the first time in my life, I stayed somewhere that DID NOT have sparkling white towels. Our towels were old and dingy. Most hotels throw the towels away if they can not get... More

The hotel room was dirty, the hallway leading to the room smelled like mold, the sheets on the two beds looked soiled,a nd the staff was less than friendly. We cut our stay short and left the next morning. For $119, not the best price considering the area. I highly advise not to stay here!

I made a reservation for one night and received a confirmation notice telling me that hotel had confirmed my room. When I arrived they had no room for me and made no attempt to fix or correct the situation. The front receptionist even admitted that they had been overbooked for a couple of days previous to the day I made... More
