Top South Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

8/10 Good

"I’d like a nicer and better maintained property but at the same time, it was not very expensive. Staff very nice and helpful, breakfast very good. I would recommend to anybody, or just pay more if you want something nicer. It’s reasonable for the money."
