Guest House Inn & Suites

The 2 stars is for the breakfast, Please be aware that my room was cleaned by a minor and my cellphone was stolen. I am 100% certain that it was plugged up in the wall on a charger when I left it. When asking who cleaned it they all pointed to her. I was shocked! Was told that nothing like that had ever happened here like that. Hmm! Go figure!

If I could leave less than one star I would happily do so. I left behind a personal item which was described in detail to the front desk. Upon subsequent calls the same day to follow up, we were told that housekeeping didn’t find it; that housekeeping hadn’t cleaned that floor yet, that someone had run up to look for the item but didn’t find it (likely to do with the person looking not having any kind of idea of what the item really looked like – I know, she was completely surprised when I told her what it was – the person who sent her running had said something utterly different) and even though I made it CLEAR every time I called, I was lied to, misinformed or pushed off into another shift.
Whoever owns this low-​budget nightmare needs to actually STAFF the place. We stayed here on short notice because my father died; came back the second evening and the room had not been cleaned. They tried to say it was because we had the «do not disturb» sign on (which we did not) and yet they had managed to still stumble in ad bring us new soap and shampoo.
Don’t stay here. The non-​smoking hallways smell of cigarettes and pet odor which they try and mask with some fruity spray.

For the amount of money «saved» by booking this hotel for a friend’s visit, I’d much rather have spent the extra $ 10/​night for Red Lion in Olympia.
The bed was very uncomfortable and the bedding was quite ratty-​looking. Seriously… if the bedspreads are fraying, replace them.
Housekeeping only came to the room after the first night. They never did come again before we left at noon on the third day.
If you are one who really wants to take advantage of a light breakfast offered by your hotel, this is not your place. Long before breakfast time is over, even on weekdays, choices are severely limited and the staff just shrugs about it. If you plan to go out to eat, then the «free breakfast» — or lack thereof — is of no importance.
This place is overpriced for what it offers, but it you don’t mind overpaying for a place to sleep and free WIFI, this would be your place.

The night clerk was about the most pleasant and pro hotel staff member I’ve ever encountered. I am often on the road. I have a band. We get in late. We might look like weirdos, but we’re business people. It’s nice to be treated right.
This place is fine. It’s inexpensive. No frills, but it’s clean. The rooms don’t stink like cleaning products. When we checked into our non-​smoking room at one am, and it stunk like someone had smoked in it recently, we were given another room in short order, no fuss.

Decent little hotel. It worked well for our needs. We wanted a place to stay for less money than we could find in Seattle proper, however the town of Auburn is pretty scuzzy– fast food and casino heaven. Hope you don’t get hungry once the sun goes down!

Ive been here for an hour, and i honestly don’t know why the reviews are so bad. My room is very big and spacious, very clean, my bed has a foam top and it is extremely comfortable. There is free internet, a 42 inch screen. it’s not busy here, there’s an indoor pool and they a have continental breakfast. The staff was very fast and attentive when I arrived here at 12:30 and was able to check in immediately so far I think this is a great place.

This place is awful. It needs some serious updating; paint, carpet, sinks, beds EVERYTHING! When we arrived to check in she said we couldn’t until 3. We waited in the lobby 30 mins. 3 arrives and she said our room wasn’t ready. So we said ok well we need to dress for a wedding so we will get our things and get ready in the bathroom. Then she proceeded to knock on the bathroom door. I finally opened and she dances up and down saying she really needs to pee! That was the most ridiculous and unprofessional thing to do. Surely there are many more bathrooms. When I was done, I asked to speak to the manager but she said there isn’t one to even express this ridiculous chain of events to. DO NOT STAY HERE! I would love a refund on this awful experience.

Staff was rude, the remote for the TV didn’t work, our room did not get cleaned while we were out! The beds weren’t made, towels weren’t replaced, bathroom wasn’t cleaned. The elevator sounds like a death trap. Cell phone signal is terrible and the wifi is mediocre at best. I would not stay at this hotel again.

Booked thru priceline and no phone in room did not work Wil neve book thru priceline again cell phone signal would drop calls

Maybe my impressions are unfairly colored because this stay was preceded by an extremely overpriced yet sadly mediocre Doubletree experience in Portland. But I would make a point of staying at this Guesthouse again. The facilities were great, the breakfast was far more than the meager ‘continental’ offerings of most places, and the staff were exceptional. I would shave part of a star off for the internet being so lousy, but this really was worth all five to us. The hot tub was a life saver! Sorry about the sheets.

Awesome continental breakfast! Rooms are in need of a little tlc though. Pool and hot tub look good but I didn’t have enough time to enjoy them. Price of our visit was quite low. The hotel is just a small town place not a vacation getaway.

Don’t let these other ratings fool you. Our first thing we noticed was all the green algae on the front of the building. This place is gross. Extremely dirty outdated. Our walls have skuffs all over them our sink is broken with huge chunks out of it. Couch is stained carpet is stained and ripped. Sheets have rips in them. A/​c unit vents have dead bugs in them and smelled when I turned it on. We booked this through hotwire. Luck of the draw. Sucks. But now we know we would never stay here or recommend this place at all. Steer clear. There’s a comfort in next door go there it’s gotta be nicer than here.

I wish I could give this place no stars! They charged me extra nights after I checked out and then told me they could not reimburse me for the extra nights even though I had not stayed there. DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL! THEY WILL OVER CHARGE YOU!

Just average. Nothing good, nothing bad. There is nothing about this stay that would encourage me to stay here again. An old tube tv, but it works. Does anyone take VHS with them on trips? If so, this would be the best place for them to stay. DVDs though, not so much. Truly just a normal decent place to stay.

the staff here is top notch… some of the nicest people to operate their hotel. my stay here was excellent.

My stay at the Guesthouse Inn & Suites Tumwater was mediocre at best. The personnel who manned the check-​in desk was professional & helpful. It was also great that they have an indoor pool & exercise room. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was also a nice touch. Here’s where it got a little dicey though. After only an hour in our room, the toilet backed up & refused to flush necessitating a call to the front desk & a trip from the handy man. The next morning when I attempted to go downstairs to partake of the breakfast, found that the elevator was broken which required a walk down & back up three flights of stairs. Later that night, my little one noticed a spider of some sort crawling on the wall & totally freaked out. The morning we were scheduled to check out I suppose the room service attendants were in a hurry to clean the room so even though I had the do not disturb sign on the door, the room service person still attempted to open the door, completely once again freaking out my daughter. It was fortuitous that I had the deadbolt on the door because otherwise my daughter would have more than freaked out. Overall our staycation was not a complete disaster simply because there were other interests in the area that afforded us entertainment. However, I would not repeat the experience.

When I think of the Guest House in Tumwater, I think secluded. It’s right on the 5N, but the trees block out the din of traffic. The evergreen surrounds the hotel, and if you’re not from the Pacific Northwest, you feel like this is a different experience than your other cheap hotel stays. The hotel has kitchenettes, and is reasonably priced. Yet, its the surrounding environment that for a visitor really makes this place special. There’s just something about being surrounded by nature’s beauty that makes a place feel special.

Nice place to stay if you don’t want phone reception otherwise its ok
