It was a really great experience. The staff consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and were well prepared. At the reception, we were immediately given cold water to cool down in the sun, and the receptionist was present and attentive the entire time. He kept us regularly informed about when our bus would arrive – always helpful, but never too pushy, and very friendly. The lady who welcomed us in Olympia was just as kind and pleasant. She did everything to make sure things worked smoothly for us, even though we had limited time. Overall, the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. A truly enjoyable experience
