Top University of Washington Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Craftsman Gem near Convention Center, Tacoma Dome & Transit to Seattle World Cup

10/10 Excellent

"Great house, lots of fun features, beautifully decorated! Great location, parking was helpful. Appreciated all the chargers in the bedrooms!"

Best Western Plus Downtown Tacoma

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and updated and the breakfast buffet had a good variety of foods. The downside was that upon arrival I was told the elevator was out of order and was offered a free cancellation. It was too late to find another hotel so I stayed. Also the advertised restaurant was closed which was disappointing because as a single female traveler I wasn't sure where it was safe to go to dinner."

McMenamins Elk Temple

10/10 Excellent

"Great unique and interesting place to stay and the room was in very good condition with a lot of personality. There's several bars on the property and it's kind of an entertainment hub, including a live music venue but I didn't have any issues in my room with noise. The tiki bar ("Old Hangout") on the lower level was the best bar that I visited. The bar and hotel staff were all very helpful. Only thing a little amiss was the floors weren't very clean in two of the bars but that wasn't a big deal and the hotel area was very clean."

Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room and property was super clean. Very walkable area."

Marriott Tacoma Downtown
