"Very nice hotel. The staff were really nice as well"

5/5 Excellent

A nice oasis.

"We were visiting the area to visit a church in Tacoma, and then fly out of SeaTac. Our choice was random, we didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the cove. It was so inviting. It had nice restaurants in walking distance and a gas station. It was all so convenient. The area is beautiful, and feels safe. We feel God led us there."
