Top Children's Museum of Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Downtown Tacoma

8/10 Good

"Better than expected, very nice room. If you are going to the dome for a show I would definitely recommend."

Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Good location downtown to restaurants and only 10 minutes from Point Defiance park. Clean hotel and secure parking too is nice perk."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

8/10 Good

"Our king size bed room was great for the time we spent there. The only challenge was the high fragrance that hit you when you came into the room. Other than that, we had delicious breakfast and great service by all the staff. We were mindful The area the hotel was in had a number of vulnerable women and men that made us feel unsafe. Our plan was to walk over to the Emerald Casino and Hotel for a concert, but we opted to drive over instead. Very nice hotel but in a precarious neighbourhood."

McMenamins Elk Temple

10/10 Excellent

"Print a map of the facility before you go. We parked in the public lot below the hotel, went in the first door we found and ended up traversing 4 floors before we found the check in desk. Other than exit signs, there is very little direction. Staff is very helpful."

Courtyard by Marriott Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent
