Things to do
Top hotels in Eastside
Swantown Inn
This was the perfect place to drop anchor for several days in Olympia. The attention to detail was evident every step of our stay from check in to departure. Breakfast was also amazing as they inquired about any allergies (we are Gluten Free) and they took great care of us. Nice job guys!
