Stay far far away. At first glance you might think...

Stay far far away. At first glance you might think the cheap rate at this hotel makes it worth staying there. You would be wrong. I had a block of rooms at the Olympia for my wedding this past weekend and everything was TERRIBLE. Let s start with the free shuttle they said they would provide to my wedding party to get them from the hotel to the church for my ceremony. 2 days prior to the event the event coordinator contacted me to confirm the time the shuttle was needed. I confirmed with her between 12:30-12:40 pm. I left with my parents for the church thinking my wedding party was on the shuttle not far behind me. WRONG. The shuttle time was never communicated to the front desk or the driver which resulted in my wedding party showing up 45 min late to the church and almost missing the ceremony. I was told repeatedly there was nothing they could do and that the person who was responsible was no longer employed with them. So, half of my wedding party piled into cars while the other half waited around from a trashy van to get them to church late. Strike 1. Then, I hear from several guests about all of the issues in their rooms. The hotel is pet friendly for a $10 charge. A guest of mine showed up to check in on time with the dog before the ceremony only to be turned away for 30 min while their room was made up. They came back 30 min later and were told the room was still not ready. They can t leave a dog in a hot car so they missed my ceremony while the hotel took their time to get them a room. Strike 2. My grandparents showed up in 95 degree weather to no AC in their room. Strike 3. A highly allergic guest had a nest of wasps in her room and was CHARGED $20 to have it removed. Strike 4. Another guest walked in to a room without a bed in it and had to have a cot rolled in. Strike 5. And now, 2 days after my wedding I have had dozens of guests calling me telling me the rate $109 +$12 tax ($121 total) is not what was charged rather all kind of charges in the amounts of $278, $139, $157, etc. are showing up on their accounts. I would caution everyone to stay far away from this hotel especially if you are using it to accommodate guests for your wedding. The cherry on top of all of this is that I have emailed them 4 times to try and resolve these issues and left voicemails of which have not been returned. This place is a literal hell hole. Stay away.
