Olympia - Phoenix Inn Suites or Ameritel - dinner?
 

We're on a college tour and will be visiting St. Martin's in Lacey. I'm guessing Olympia is a more interesting overnight stop? I can get the Ameritel for $109 or Phoenix Inn Suites for $99. Preference? Are there any good restaurants nearby? Thanks so much!

Isn't the Ameritel in Lacey? Whatever/wherever - we enjoyed our stay there a few years back and would stay there again. Hotel had breakfasts, plus cookies at the front desk. For supper, we wound up at Applebees.

The Phoenix Inn has a good location near downtown Olympia and very near two good restaurants--Anthony's and Budd Bay Cafe, which has a friendly, casual deck and good food at sensible prices.

We are back and LOVED the Phoenix Inn in Olympia and the Budd Bay Cafe was GREAT!
Highly recommend both. Thanks!

Thanks for the report.
