Short Stay Lodgings - Olympia, Washington

We really enjoyed the upper apartment that Debra provided. The apartment was spotless and large, bathroom had lovely plush towels and comfy furniture. There were 2 decent sized bedrooms both with very comfy beds, quiet at night and an easy parking situation. This place is right near the library and walking distance to most things in Olympia. I think my favorite this was the abundance of cooking supplies. I love to cook and really appreciated the good pots and pans, cutting boards, knives etc. I was able to make several dinners for my family that I was visiting. The cable had gone down due to a storm, but Debra and her husband went out of their way to make sure it was fixed. It's nice to see that customer service is still alive in Olympia!

We often host staff trainings in Olympia office. As a non-profit it can be really pricey to put staff up in a hotel and after finding short stay lodgings, we no longer have to! The Franklin Street apartments are perfect because they are in walking distance to everything - restaurants, the lake, grocery store, coffee shops. Plus it ended up being less expensive then a hotel. Additionally, we have a kitchen to make some of our own meals. The places are comfortable and well equipped. Because of the great location, out of town staff don't even need a car to get around. Thanks for a great spot!

This is a lovely place to stay when you're in the Olympia area. We did not want to stay in one more hotel during our visit to the South Sound and so booked in at Short Stay. It was great. Loved having a real kitchen and ROOM to relax in. And it's so close to downtown, too. A quiet and restful place. Lots of home comforts -- pillows, blankets, bedding and tons of towels and washcloths. There were a few things we pointed out to Debra (some things had changed, it was time to update her personal visitors' guidebook, for instance) and she was very responsive. Love having such a great alternative to regular hotels!

We spent a fabulous weekend "living in town" when we stayed at Short Stay. We walked to the Farmers' Market for lunch and browsed a variety of shops. Took an afternoon break at Grandpa's Ice Cream and Soda Shop.

Debra has done a lovely job decorating the space and she provides so many amenities that you'll want to "vacation" there often. Invite everyone you know to visit Olympia and suggest they treat themselves to this special experience!

We loved the central heat since it was rainy and cold during our visit. Main living area is large with two couches; beds are very comfortable; kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make meals. We enjoyed the proximity to downtown Olympia, with its charming coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Having family members whom are very allergic to cat dander, Short Stay Lodgings was the housing alternative for their visit. The apartment itself (we rented 910 Franklin, the upstairs unit) was always meticulously clean and very welcoming and homey. The location is absolutely ideal as well- a couple of blocks to the heart of downtown, but just far enough out not to have to worry about finding parking. I highly recommend it!

I have stayed at this lodging several times and it is always super clean. The beds are great and bathroom is nice and big. There is a nice kitchen and dining area if you want to make a meal, all the accessories you need. We will continue to make this our favorite place in Olympia.

Nice fitness room. The breakfast was clearly a step above what one usually finds, with more fresh fruit and yogurt choices.
The rooms were neat and clean, and the staff was very engaging. This will be my new base of operations when coming to Olympia for work.
