I've given Hotel Olympus Apts 4 stars, simply because NO PLACE IS PERFECT. That being said, I have lived here for one year now and except for the drawback of being an Apt, and not a house with a yard (which is where my heart wants to be) I'm pretty happy here at the old Hotel. First about the neighborhood, lots of beautiful old buildings, and businesses all around us, as you would expect, being downtown, and there are two small neighborhood grocery stores within a block of us, which is really handy. I'm grateful for that, plus plenty of bus routes nearby. My apt faces from the back of the building and is higher up, so i can even see a little piece of the bay from my window, as well as city lights at night. I like my view! The Hotel Olympus Apt. lobby, in my eyes, is beautiful with the old tile floor, and the charming old mailboxes, and old time light fixtures, vaulted ceilings throughout the entire building, and lots of old time charm and beauty. The building is over 100 years old, and you can almost see the memories floating around through out the building! Managers have been awesome! First Michael, and now Angela, have both been great managers, always striving to make our home, HOMIE! and Jeff, our groundskeeper,who always keeps the place clean and tidy, and takes the trash out every single day of the week.and then there is our maintenance man, Mario, who has been Always on top of things getting fixed, and always gives his All! The people that I have met, who live here have been very nice people, a well rounded diverse group of people, who have always been pleasant and respectful to me as well as others. I've not seen any evidence of druggies living here or anything like that. There may have been a bad element living here before in years past, but it doesn't seem that way to me now, and over the past year that I've been here. I can't speak to time before I entered, only to the time that I've spent here and I am a happy tenant of the Hotel Olympus Apts! Like with any place, there are always drawbacks, here and there, but for me the good points far outweigh any of the drawbacks, and I am HOME!.....Donna read more
