    I try not to leave the house unless it's to go to a restaurant. So, I had no idea The Olympic even…read moreexisted. They apparently do weddings, events, and comedy shows. I was going there to see a Smashing Pumpkins cover band and a Foo Fighters cover band. (Our oldest daughter saw her first concert a while back, which was Foo Fighters in Denver, and she really wanted to go to this concert.) Anyway, I didn't know the place was a wedding venue. So, I was expecting the type of place one goes for a concert of cover bands. My first surprise was when I got on the elevator, and the only option was to go up. If I'm getting on an elevator to see a Smashing Pumpkins cover band, I'm expecting that elevator to take me down to a basement with sticky concrete floors. My second surprise was when the elevator opened to reveal a hallway with very nice floors. I'm pretty dense. So, my first thought was "Wow. This hallway is really nice for a hallway that leads to the type of place that would host a concert I would go to." It turned out that the whole venue was beautiful: high ceilings, chandeliers, floors that were probably laminate (but looked like wood floors to me), a bigger main room than I expected, a nice-sized bar area separated from the main room, a balcony with additional seating (and I think it's own bathroom, if I heard my wife and daughter correctly, which I may not have, because there was a concert going on). Also, I guess I was technically a designated driver, because my wife had a whiskey, and I guess it's pretty common for bars to comp sodas and other non-alcoholic drinks for DDs, but I was really surprised that they didn't seem to charge for any of the non-alcoholic drinks that the three of us had, though. Either that, or they were incredibly cheap. I think I had three or four iced teas. My wife had at least one whiskey, and two Cokes. My daughter had a Sprite. Our bill was $11.00 even. So, either everything but the whiskey was free, or my iced teas were free and everything else was incredibly cheap. I thought that was really nice. I would highly recommend The Olympic South Side Theatre to anyone who is looking for a place to host an event.

    What a beautiful venue. We attended a Bob Marley Festival. It was wonderful. 4 bands beautiful…read morevenue with great acoustics. They have crystal chandeliers adorning the ceiling. Couches and comfy couches and chairs on the sides. Easily able to find parking and uber clean bathrooms for a concert venue. It is located in an old building on the second floor with both stairs and an elevator. All in all it was amazing!

    Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. Wonderful large lobby for sitting and a restaurant. We…read moreplayed Play Nine with our son at a restaurant table later that evening. Played in the pool with our grandson in the afternoon. Our server was really friendly for dinner and the food was pretty good. Large grassy lawn for dogs out back. Very dog friendly. Although I would hope they would clean the poop for a $75 pet fee. So disappointing these hotels let us bring our pets and some people don't bother cleaning after their pets. It's so rude to the next dog owner. And to the establishment. I would raise the fee too. But then I would clean up after irresponsible dog owners so the next people don't have to risk stepping in it. Other than that it was the perfect stay. They really make you feel at home.

    All in all the hotel was new, clean and the room was large. Bathroom, bed, furniture was all…read moreexceptionally clean too. Your feet didn't stick to the floor like many places. The HVAC was refreshingly quiet. The hotel lobby has a piped in fragrance that immediately puts you at ease. They have a pool, full service restaurant and a bar. The only thing that was describing was the shower water pressure. It was so bad if I had decided to wash my hair I would not ever have gotten the shampoo out of it. It hurt my heart because everything else was so good and then the final thing we do was epically bad. Hopefully there is a way to fix it for their sake. I did tell them at the front desk as we checked out but it didn't seem to register with the person I told.
