Top South Capitol Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lacey – Olympia by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a lot of choices."

FairBridge Inn & Suites Dupont

10/10 Excellent

"We LOVE this hotel. We lived in Lacey for 10 years so not only are we familiar with this area but we also travel back regularly. We stay here EVERY TIME. Not only are their prices some of the lowest, but the rooms are actually as nice as they look in the photos. It's hard to find a "cheap" hotel that offers a full blown breakfast every morning, doesn't charge for parking, is in a nice/safe area, convenient location, nice/cozy rooms, AND a low price. We always get the room with the extra kids bedroom off of it because we're a family of 5 and the bunk bed is so convenient. We've stayed in fancier hotels, and we really enjoy them, but we are just as happy at this more basic hotel because it checks ALL of the boxes. Of all the hotels that I've stayed at within this price range, I'd never stay at any of them ever again. But this hotel? We're long time repeat customers, and I just know I won't find another hotel that satisfies me the way this one does."

Little Creek Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"What a fun weekend! Went with another couple, golf at the near-by golf course and ate dinner at the casino. Only complaint - one in our party ordered a Manhattan cocktail. They charged extra for the the whiskey. That is the main ingredient in a Manhattan and if you don't have the whiskey what kind of cocktail to you have? This was not explained when they ordered the cocktail and the cocktail ended up being like $22.00. When the manager came to explain while the drink cost so much, he tried to say "due to inflation". Not a good explanation to a customer that just had a way over priced cocktail!"
