Top Fort Nisqually Living History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel with an interesting, quirky vibe. GREAT restaurants nearby and very walkable. Quiet setting that seems isolated even though it's in the middle of downtown."

The INN at Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel and room, comfy beds, great breakfast. No complaints!"

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!"
