We enjoyed our stay at the Olympic House. The Olympic Training Center is literally a 5 minute walk, which is pretty cool! There's also a gorgeous apple tree in the yard. Comfortable beds, keurig coffee, and a clean place. We would stay here again. Quiet neighborhood too and no issues with getting a spot to park in front of the house. Plenty of space for our short weekend stay.Show more Skyler
