The INN at Gig Harbor

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The walls are thick enough so you can’t hear your neighbors talking, watching tv or using water. The AC unit was quiet which was really nice since they are normally very noisy. The internet isn’t secure, there is no password. The breakfast was fine and had a fair amount of variety. The parking lot did have a nice big light at night. However, I was parked by a tree that was root-bound with exposed roots with moss growing. While trying to load my car, I stepped on one of the slippery roots (the parking slots are narrow) and fell down in the parking lot. Some other guests in the parking lot came over and helped me. Thankfully I didn’t break anything. So don’t park next to the trees."
