This was without a doubt the WORST Hilton Garden Inn I have ever had the displeasure to call home for the weekend. I checked in the day before as suggested by the website so I could skip the wait at check-in and receive a digital key on my phone. When we arrived, there was an “issue” with the system and I could not get the digital key. There was a line 10 person deep waiting to check in and 1 person at the desk. It was taking quite some time, so I tried again to get my digital key. Luckily I was successful the second time. Next, there was only one working elevator for a 5 story hotel. There was some type of sports tournament for teens, so the elevator was extremely busy. When we finally got into our room, I used the bathroom. I flushed the toilet and the handle broke! That meant that the water would not fill the tank and just kept running. I called the front desk and told them that our toilet was broken (I explained what the issue was). They sent up a man with a plunger. My husband told him that he was going to need tools and parts, no it a plunger. After 3 trips, he finally was able to fix it. It probably took so long because he had use the only working elevator! It had been a long car ride, so I was looking forward to some time in the hot tub. After waiting for the elevator for 5 minutes, I finally got to the pool/hot tub area. Just as I was about to get in, one of the kids yelled”No don’t, it’s freezing cold! I think it’s out of order.” I thanked them and proceeded to go back to my room. After waiting for the elevator (again), I wanted to fill my hydroflask with ice and just call it a night. The ice machine on my floor was BROKEN! Due to a disability, I could not just walk down one floor, so I had to wait for that one precious elevator. I got the ice, waited again, and was finally able to get back to our room. Hoping the next day would be better, we went to bed. I will say that the hotel was very quiet and clean. The next morning, we were looking forward to a nice hot breakfast (it was part of the package). We arrive at the restaurant and there is no hot breakfast. Apparently, they did not have a cook for breakfast,so we were stuck with a cold breakfast. They said they would have someone for dinner service. We had to go find a restaurant and pay for a breakfast we had already paid for. After a fun day with family, we returned to the hotel and the restaurant was dark. There was a sign apologizing blah, blah, blah. I ordered something from DoorDash. The entire stay was a complete disappointment and I will never stay at this hotel again.

Check in was an absolute nightmare. I booked through trip.com instead of through hotel for a better deal. When I arrived the hotel audit told me there were two bookings under my name even though I only made one, so when she tried to cancel one it deleted both bookings... Online it says no refunds, and I had already paid for my room, and she was trying to make me pay a second time because she claimed she ”couldn't see my payment.” 🙄 She made me give her the number to the booking agency who basically told her they can't refund the money as per policy. She wasn't going to give me a room at all it felt like unless I paid again. Mind you, I paid $95 or $97 after taxes, no way in hell was I going to let that go and give the hotel more money. NO. Eventually she called her manager which she should have done to begin with and he talked her though how to fix the mistake. I am still angry over this. It was my first time here and it took me over an HOUR to get into a room. I was late to my online conference for work because of this. RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Aside from her, the hotel room was very cozy and comforting. Bed was unbelievably comfortable, so was the sofa in the room. I like that they use neutrogena products in the bathroom as well. Looks like updated flooring in hallway and bathroom which was really cute. I do recommend staying here as I'm sure the above incident doesn't happen all the time. Breakfast in morning was good, VERY polite woman serving. All staff had masks on and I noticed a couple regularly using sanitizer... I'll probably stay again.

A bit tucked away. Entrance is easy to miss on the main road. Parking next to hotel is limited but there is plenty in the adjacent office complex. Nice Mexican restaurant right next door. Staff was very competent and property was clean and well-managed.

Stayed at the hotel for four days. The booked room has a kitchen pan, a sofa bed, and a sofa bed for 11-year-old children. The hotel also has a self-service laundry room that can be washed and dried for about $4. Parking is free and convenient, suitable for self-driving.

The room is clean, the location is good, on the 5th roadside, but not noisy

My family and I stayed at the Comfort Inn in Lacey, Washington. The hotel entrance is slightly hidden from the roadway. The room had wifi, television, air conditioning, and a television The room was clean and the hotel was tranquil to sleep. The beds were uncomfortable. My wife and I woke up feeling sore like we slept on the floor. The hotel placed vending machines across from the elevator door. I waited for someone to decide what he wanted from the vending machine as I was pushing a trolley with our luggage. The same issue occurred in the morning when I was trying to pack the car. My family and I reached the free breakfast within the designated time. The hotel employee appeared to have already placed food items away or the hotel didn't provide that much food for guests to eat. We appeared not to be only hotel guests that did not receive the free breakfast. There was another family and a hotel guest. The hotel guest asked the employee to replenish the eggs and sausage. The employee appeared not to honor the request even though we were all there before the breakfast closes at 9am. My wife and I went back to our room to eat a bowl of Cheerios we happened to have packed for our trip. We have stayed at seven hotels with a total of fifteen nights this year. The other hotels that offered free breakfast always replenished the food. My wife and I pick hotels that have a free breakfast. My suggestion if you stay at this hotel is to wake up by 6:30am when breakfast first opens if you want to get breakfast. We will be trying a different hotel in the Lacey, Washington area next time we visit due to this experience.

My family and I stayed at the DuPont Fairfield Inn & Suites for two nights. We found this hotel after having a terrible experience at the Holiday Express nearby and called the Fairfield Inn at 10 o’clock at night, thankfully they had a room for us! Debbie (at late-night check-in) and Brandon (daytime) at the front desk were extremely helpful, professional and accommodating for our family of 5. The complimentary breakfast was very yummy with a nice selection of food & drinks, even my picky children really enjoyed the breakfast! The breakfast attendants were very helpful and friendly, offering my kids waffles. The Fairfield Inn was very clean and everyone including the guests wore masks. The entire staff had sunny dispositions, great mask and covid-cleaning discipline. During these covid times it was so nice to stay in a comfortable, safe place with great customer service! We can always count on the Marriott brand!

The waterpark and our room, along with the hallways, stairwells, and common areas was so clean! Every employee was so nice and HAPPY! Literally everyone from housekeeping, to the people disinfecting the stairwells, front desk to the camp crew! So many smiles and them asking if we're having a good time! Kim in the arcade was amazing and so patient helping our crew of 21 people to get situated for mini-golf! She deserves some recognition! Ethan who led story time and the dance party on Saturday evening was amazing! Enthusiastic and full of energy! So refreshing! Yes all the extras are a little bit $$ but my kids would have been fine with the waterpark and MagiQuest! (they're 10 and 8). Felt safe with my kids running all around, and the lifeguards were on it in the park! Also did the ropes course which was really fun for all ages. I guess the only negative thing I'd have to say is that it was hard for grandpa to ride the slides as there were so many stairs. He's pretty chill, so he didn't mind watching the grandkids have fun, and he went on the smaller slides (the ones by the huge bucket). Didn't ruin the trip at all, just thought I'd mention! All 21 of us from age 4-73 had a great time!

The service is above and beyond here. I have been in Washington for about a year and have been around Olympia, in several hotels, for 1/4 of that. I can say, honestly, thg at this quality inn lives up to the name in every way. The cleaning staff is diligent, maintenance is responsive and timely, the front desk is friendly, and discretion is their middle name. I was treated fairly with kindness and assisted in all matters with care and understanding. I thank the staff and applaud their work. I strive to behave as they have in my next professional endeavor. Special shout outside to Soloman, Grace, megan, and Jil. Bonus points to Grace for being the most caring individual I've met in washington.
