“Excellent Food and Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

The food each morning was so good, that I wish I would have asked for the recipes. Also, the innkeepers were so nice and gave us some great suggestions for dinner. If you like b&b’s or would like to try a b&b, this is a great place to go. While you are there, get a massage at their day spa which is in the attic. It was a very relaxing weekend.

Room Tip: If you pay a little more, you can get a bathroom attached to your room.

Thanks for the nice review! Let me point out though that you don't need to pay more for an attached bathroom. The Columbia Room (which has a large private bathroom across the hall) is the same price as the Percival Room (which has an attached bathroom). We hope to see you back again soon!

“What a great time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

My husband and I took a cross country train trip frm NY and stayed at the Swantown Inn last summer so that we could go to a wedding which took place in Olympia. We had a great time! The room we were in was beautifully decorated and the bed was really comfortable. The food was delicious and our hosts were fun to talk with. If we areain't Olympia, we will definitely come back to the Swantown Inn!

“An unforgettable vacation escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I stayed here several months ago. Although it's been a while, we can say that our time here was excellent. Nathan and Casey are the best (Nathan is very sociable and loves to talk to the guests over breakfast). They really enjoy what they do and it shows in their above and beyond service. Our room was exquisite (we stayed in the Columbia room) and the bathroom just across the hall was spacious and luxurious. The bed was amazingly comfortable and very large (there's plenty of room to spread out). The owners supply each of their rooms with quality bathrobes that are also available for purchase in the gift shop. Casey's breakfasts are to die for, and she alternates between sweet and savory meals to provide more variety for the guests. The attic day spa is one experience you should NOT pass up. My boyfriend and I were treated to a foot bath (complete with tea and cookies) and then a heavenly hour massage from the qualified massage therapists. Afterward, we had the honor of showering in the luxurious multi-jetstream shower. The Swantown Inn is truly a little piece of heaven. Please book a room in haste.

“Excellent weekend!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

First time to Olympia, and we really enjoyed the weekend. Nathan's recommendations for dining were spot on, and Casey's breakfasts were outstanding. The Attic Day Spa topped it off for a great weekend getaway!

“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

I have stayed at the Swantown Inn while in Olympia on business a 4 occasions. I have found the beds extremely comfortable, the breakfasts tasty and unique, the location very convenient and the innkeepers (Nathan and Casey) very knowledgeable, flexible (for a late arriving, early rising business traveler) and helpful. On top of all of that, the SI is a super value!!

Thank you so much! We like to think we provide a great alternative to local hotels for our Business Traveler guests. With free WIFI and cooked or to go breakfasts. Plus we think we can recommend appropriate restaurants to wine and dine your clients.
