If a traveler is going to stay at least a week in the Olympia/Tumwater/Lacey area, I don't think that this hotel can be beat for comfort, safety, or especially the price. The hotel is located on a hill overlooking US-101. Yet, there is little noise from traffic. The outside is clean and extremely well-kept. There is both a Jack in... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night. On the plus side, the price was very reasonable, about $65/night with Expedia. It was easy to find off of I-5 or 101. The front desk guy was nice and efficient. The room was spotless, very roomy with new furniture, an easy chair and a work table. It had a complete... More

Stayed at the ESA Tumwater for 3 nights for a shopping trip. Lots of stores within short driving distance though not too much in the vicinity of the hotel. There's Jack-in-the-Box store next door , a gas station and a pub within walking distance but that's about it. Booked through Priceline for about $40 a night so the price was... More

Our family stayed here for a couple of days during the December flood. The accomodations were very clean and got the job done. We knew there were not alot of amenities, but we planned accordingly and brought our own food and toiletries that we would need. The front desk staff were nice and courteous during our stay.

All rooms are efficiencies with stovetop, microwave and full size fridge with freezer. Towels can be exchanged at the front desk, which closes at 11pm (housekeeping does... More

My hotel room was very clean and tidy. There is just nothing in the way of amenities. But then again you are really not paying for any. I couldn't imagine staying on an extended basis at this hotel. There is no dishwasher or anyway to clean the dishes that they provide you (soap, sponge). They also only provide one fork,... More

Stayed for 3 nights end of April 2006. Room was big, but bare bones. No hair dryer, no closet, no toiletries, no dresser. Some shelving on the wall with a bar that could act as a closet but they didn't have any hangars. I was sick while there, no fault of the hotel's, and had to change rooms. I messed... More
