Top Children's Museum of Tacoma Hotel Reviews

McMenamins Elk Temple

10/10 Excellent

"Truly a unique hotel that deserves a much longer stay. Unfortunately, I only had an overnight so my review is rather limited. First, the interior. The fireplace, dim lighting added to the uniqueness. The drawings and paintings found throughout the building added to the atmosphere. On the outside, walking to the nearby clubs and restaurants, was relaxing. As we already had dinner, this was more of a nature walk than anything else. the staff were nice and professional. The room that we had was small. It was clean, the bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. Comfort, for me, is more important than the size of the room. It had a small round table and two chairs which complemented the room nicely. The night went by very quietly and I slept very, very well. Overall, the only dings that I can provide are the following: the hotel does not have parking. However, there are metered parking, paid parking lots nearby that are within walking distance. Secondly, we did not have a coffee maker in our room. The hotel did provide complementary coffee between 7 am and 11 am. Since we had to leave early, this is something that we had to miss ☹️. But please, do try to spend the night here, but to get the experience, the uniqueness of this hotel, preferably spend more than one night."

Hotel Murano

8/10 Good

"The room was on the smaller side but it was clean and looked nice. The staff was VERY nice and helpful. The bar was closed on a Sunday evening which bummed me out and there isn't a pool or hot tub. But it was less than 10 minutes from every location we wanted to go so the location was great"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

8/10 Good

"The staff was great. Hotel was clean and very conveniently located for our stay. Breakfast was just okay. It won’t knock your socks off. Travelocity says daily housekeeping however it is not and needs to be requested. Would stay here again"
