Top Fort Nisqually Living History Museum Hotel Reviews

The INN at Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very spacious and very clean and it was quiet which was lovely being a light sleeper. The breakfast was included and had a nice choice of hot items including pancakes and waffles, eggs, sausage, potatoes and other cold items. The staff was very friendly and helpful! They had warm yummy cookies in the lobby as well as a small store with drinks and snacks if you needed to pick something up. Very good, would definitely stay here again if ever in the area."

Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

8/10 Good

"The cozy cottage is the perfect place to stay for 1-2 people when visiting the Ruston area in Tacoma. There’s a small convenience store a couple blocks away with coffee, beers, etc. Wifi on site was fast and easy to connect to (once we did a little troubleshooting). Towels and basic toiletries are provided as well as dishes, a Brita water filter, and Keurig coffee maker. The bed is comfy, but the bedroom does get warm in the summer. There’s a large fan in the bedroom to keep cool. Overall, I would recommend this place of looking for a place to stay in Ruston / Tacoma."

Walk to the waterfront The Hobbit House

10/10 Excellent

"It was quiet and quaint, very homey. The communication from the host was impeccable. We'll be a return guest, for sure!"
