Laura Lathrop

We were so impressed with this hotel!! We stayed in a King room that ended up having a kitchenette, which I was not expecting The room was nicely remodeled The bed was incredibly comfortable

The front desk staff was friendly and helpful at check in The continental breakfast had a good selection of items to choose fromWe will definitely choose to stay here again if we are in the area again!

Absolute nightmare dealing with Marie and Jose from the hotel They were rude and repeatedly abrupt, and I am still awaiting a call from Megan Riley for a month now The room we got was also unclean and it took a TON of negotiating to clean it! They will say “you can clean your room anytime” on their signage and hoardings, but when you ask them, they will say they clean a room only after 7 days of a stay (even when you show them pictures of dirty hairs and are staying there for 5 days)

Marie will repeatedly call you by another name, and they will promise “to make it right” but do nothing The pool was closed during the stay and the fire alarms – while alarms and drills are necessary, we were not advised at check in! It was 5 days of enduring shrills and entry into the room by different people Oh, and last but not the least, woken at 11 pm by receptionist saying there was noise from my room (when there was none, it was an ice machine down the hallway humming) So, you will be woken up from deep sleep to be advised about imaginary noise that “must be coming from my room” Now you have disturbed two guests, the one complaining about some noise and the other, who was asleep Great hospitality!

Michelle Moena

Great kitchen with fridge/freezer, fully stocked with a list of items you can borrow including a blender!Staff was very friendly and helpful I would give it 5 stats but my skin had a reaction to the sheets Night two they washed a set of sheets in just hot water for me, this helped a little

My legs still turned red and blotchy but I was able to sleep For over $200 a night you’d think they’d have an alternative set of sheets for like an allergen sensitive set of sheets for weird people like meOther than that, they accommodated an early arrival so we could get checked in and onto our high school state track tournament within 10 minutes of our hotelBeing next to the freeway is loud so I recommend bringing earplugs if you’re used to a quieter environment

Very clean and comfortable Rooms are spacious and provides a curtain to add a little privacy between bed and sofa bed (great if you have a kid) The rooms are well insulated

Even though our room faced the interstate and train, it didn’t keep us up Breakfast was decent for a continental type We stayed 4 nights prior to our military move Would definitely recommend!

Roger Skaer

Upon check-in, I experienced a genuinely personal greeting and was set up with my accommodations quickly and efficiently My room was perfectly clean and in great conditionThe staff was very professional and helpful, making sure that I had everything I needed for a stress-free and enjoyable stay

I would definitely recommend Home2 Suites to everyone as they have time and again provided me with nothing but the utmost of courtesy and careThank you again for another perfect stay

Tracey New

I am a professional traveler, and I highly recommend this hotel I have used this Home2 Suites on several trips to Joint Base Lewis McChord, and they have always been kind and very accommodating The rooms are comfortable, clean, and well stocked

Breakfast is the typical self service style, and has a good assortment of items to choose fromOn a recent trip, shortly after arriving, I had an untimely death of a family member The staff was understanding and helpful with making my early departure as painless as possible, and I must give a special mention to the night manager, Sarah She is a special human being, and her kindness to me at a very difficult time in my life does not go unappreciated Thank you Sarah, and to everyone else who makes this my favorite Tacoma area stay!

Eli Evenson

Originally when we got our room it was supposed to be king size, we ended up with a queen our first night and the next day they were able to move us in the room we wanted Mostly clean but we found a random spoon and 2 batteries Great hospitality just wish everything went to plan originally

Good area too for people looking to stay in a nice neighborhood just outside the city Changed review from 2 star to 5 when we got the room we booked

Jon Martin

Previously, I did not add any info here besides the 5 stars but would like to amend thatI stay at this Hampton Inn quite regularly and every time I have come the staff have been exceptional! Extremely accommodating and caring for the folks staying with them It’s truly the staff that make this Hampton Inn my stay of choice

The breakfast has always been delightful and fresh (especially for a hotel buffet) The pool and gym are well kept The rooms are always cleanI would only make two suggestions for potential improvement1 Would like to be able to crack open the pool room windows to increase ventilation Only 1 window cracks open about 3 inches currently2 Would like if it were pet friendly

Graig Butler

I’ve stated here 5-6 times for work over the past year Front desk representative Kay is always the most welcoming She is engaging, personable and efficiently checks me in each time

Kay needs to be recognized for her quality serviceThe facilities are nice and the rooms are always spotless The only critique I might have are the not so tasty eggs at breakfast

Erich Jaber

My experience was an over-the-top delight From the start it was easy to navigate to and find the hotel, even after a stressful day and a challenging drive I pulled into valet to be pleasantly welcomed and I hadn’t even gotten out of my car

The individuals working (Eric) were pleasant, sharp and communicated well, very helpful Then as I entered I was met with a visual delight The lighting, the art and decor, the layout and design were all great However, the staff provided to be the true delight Check in was a breeze, (Erika) was so informative and vibrant I felt at ease by her disposition as she spent just a few minutes sharing with us about our amenities, opportunities and entertainment Really a pleasurable experience that rewarded me with calmness and excitement, how refreshing So as we took the elevator we noticed we couldn’t feel a thing while riding it Then we turned our attention to being excited with what our room experience would be like, given everything so far As we opened our door we were very impressed It was a wave of awe, a sense of appointment, intentional if not deliberate thought was given to the tiniest of details The room was glorious, the king size bed comfortable, the freshness of the comforter was incredible The pillows were a little stiff and over large but otherwise fine There was even a bottle of wine to greet us with real glassware located through the room An umbrella to use (how thoughtful) and many many amenities for use, including the ever needed vanity kit Really an immersive room experience Absolutely nothing was in want in this room Except those pillowsThe pool and hot tub, I will say is by far, the absolute best in the entire City of Tacoma or Ruston, as far as hotels go Those jets melted away the tensionBut, let’s talk about the restaurant/bar The food was absolutely divine, atmosphere was euphoric and the view was majestic The staff (Katrina) was excellent Really high caliber people serving in a high quality environment Check out those pictures!Anyways, I could go on and on why I would give this one night stay the highest rating ever, but really you gotta experience this for yourselfBy the way, little extra tidbit, I met another customer that drove all the way from Seattle, just for the steak and eggs breakfast! Even after a twelve hour work shift! After my first bite of mine, I understoodThank you for rescuing my hope in hotels

Jena May

Where do I start The front desk staff was nice when we checked in, that’s about it We were “walked over” to this hotel because the Marriott Downtown lost our reservation and was over booked

The Marriott told us AND the front desk at this overly priced hotel they would be covering our room and taxes etc This was confirmed at the front desk when we checked in The supervisor was advised by the Marriott to bill them for the charges I signed a paper and was told I would only have a $100 hold on my card for incidentals The girl while he was talking to the Marriott about them paying for it said “you guys are going to LOVE this room, the only thing we have left is a King Jacuzzi Suite”…Awesome, not necessary but we were just happy to have a place to stay after a long day of traveling, we probably would have taken a bunk bed in a hostile at that point we were so exhausted Fast forward to today when I find that this hotel has now charged me over EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE ROOM!!! Not only did no one pay for our room as promised but they charged my card WITHOUT my authorization for $812…for one night The hotel we had booked at the Marriott was $330 When I called to speak to them about the charges the girl I spoke with very rudely said “I’ll send you to accounting please hold BYE”…Waited on hold for a few minutes then got immediately transferred to a voicemail and no one has bothered to call me back This is completely unethical and unprofessional Oh and we rolled in there with a 2019 Toyota Camry and got looked at like we were trash by the valet, quickly shooed out of their MANDATORY $32/night Valet as soon as 2 Lamborghini’s pulled up behind us Negative 1 star is I could…

Chris K (Chrislk1986)

Didn’t actually stay at the hotel, but came and visited family during a weekend stayThe rooms are very nice and there are some great views to be had The pool was nice, weather was perfect

We ordered some takeout from outside of the hotel and the restaurant forgot to put plates/utensils in Front desk staff was able to provide some plates and forks–And with amazing speed! We very much appreciated the effortThe restaurant in the lobby is great as well It was packed the weekend we were there (maybe a wedding nearby?) And everyone was professional and worked hard to get everyone’s orders in and fulfilledThe location? Perfect Right in the middle of the bustling Ruston Waterfront There’s a park, public market, movie theatre and a great selection of dining outside of the hotel Farmers market is right there too, not sure when it starts, but keep that in mind on Sundays, it’ll be pretty busy Oh, there’s also an ice cream shop right across the street, which is sure to be a popular on a nice day

Lilly Burkel

The place is beautiful don get me wrong But I would expect at least to get free breakfast or parking they charge for both considering i spent 200 for one night i was hoping at least a meal or to be able to park but I was wrong 🙄 kind of a disappointment but I get it they need to make there money 💰 but after I found out about breakfast I had ordered a orange juice and then they made a big deal about paying for the orange juice it just seemed a little pety considering how much I spent to stay here not everyone has extra money to spend i just came to bring my daughter to see the artwork! But I don’t think I would stay here again

Shonda Barnett

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for our girls weekend The hotel is BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED in blown glass by different artists, and there is a different artists featured on each floor The location of the hotel was close to shops and restaurants

They also offer dog friendly rooms at this location I would say the only downside would be the customer service on dayshift Our room keys were not working and we needed help getting our bags and room key in order and instead of someone assisting us we had to make 4 trips getting stuck out of our room and on the elevator with bags Needless to say we were pretty annoyed at this point But all in all that was the only snaffle we had and in the large sum of things it wasn’t a bad stay at all The night shift however was excellent, they brought up extra blankets in a timely manner and they were very helpful and friendly

Wrennifred Knightly

For $170 per night, I don’t think that I’d stay here again I don’t typically write reviews unless I feel that my experience was really not worth the money (or if it really was!) Bought about $75 worth of groceries, stored it in the fridge, and the next day it stopped/wasn’t working and all of the food and drinks we bought went bad

Café had a 30+ minute wait and didn’t have enough available seating for the events they host, even getting there when they opened there was a wait time Room service wasn’t allowed, covers on the bed had a rip in it Door lock stopped working too and we got locked out for a good hour or so before someone came to fix it Hotel itself is beautiful, but seemed to care more about money made over quality of stay

Our stay was very pleasant! The staff were kind and attentive! Our room was comfortable, clean, and accommodating I am not sure if every room has this, the headboard displayed some of the local town in a painting style A unique touch! The continental hot breakfast was well put together! With all the amenities this hotel provides this surely made a great deal!

Tracy McPherson

Overall a very good hotel The only reason I rated a little lower is that the neighborhood around the hotel is starting to get pretty run down There is a tent city directly on the other side of the fence for the hotel parking lot and a lot of activity there

I do want to note however, that we have not had any issues at all related to that, and the hotel staff is awesome and very accommodating They have a very secure parking lot and key requirements to even get in the building as well as night security guards as well That being said, I don’t like feeling like I’m in prison when I go to a hotel Hopefully the city will get the area cleaned up

Ambria Affriseo

Surprised with the size of the rooms & I loved the lighted mirror & window covers They allow as much natural light as you want or completely darken the room I through some sound motion lights around the head board of the bed & gave the room some color therapy

The kids loved it Also, the storages made it easy to keep the room looking clean while still having all your personal items at your fingertips & organized Overall I give this hotel ☆☆☆☆☆

Feedback From Real Customers

Amy Markoff Johnson

I stayed here for two nights while visiting the Tacoma area with my teen daughter We had the Grandview Suite, which lived up to its name The castle and grounds are visually stunning and were well worth the stay

However, as others have noted, the bedrooms are not well maintained (cracked linoleum in our kitchenette and a bathtub that was so badly scratched up we didn’t use it) Also, some of the decor in our room was cheap and tacky in a way that doesn’t fit with the overall grandeur of the place, like the electric fireplace, which was barely functioning It seemed to me that the focus here is on weddings, since the more public areas of the house seem to be in better shape than the guest rooms I don’t know that I would stay again, but I’m glad to have stayed once to have access to prowl around this magnificent old building I just wish it were more lovingly taken care of

Jennifer Daurity

My family had to stay here for 40+ days during our move out of state The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good There is a staff member named Ray that roams the halls doing odd jobs

He is rude and unfriendly He looks as if he is homicidal or suicidal I’d avoid him Everybody else is above and beyond friendly that goes above and beyond for the guests There’s a pool and hot tub that’s well maintained as well as a bar the serves drinks and food on the weekends There’s a small store by the front desk and a laundry room that requires $3 in quarters to wash and dry The business and conference rooms are great and helpful to work in The outdoor spaces are nice and include an outdoor smoking space behind the building If you ask to borrow a vacuum you might run into Ray or his boss He won’t speak to you just stare at you like he hates you She will literally yell at you that you better bring that vacuum back Disgruntled staff I believethey are the only reason I won’t give the hotel a 5 star This hotel would be a 5 star easily if they weren’t working there

Derek B

I stayed here for a business trip in the area The rooms were clean and simple which I liked As with most any accomodations you will have to contend with the sound of other guests meandering about, but the beds were comfortable enough that I slept well

The staff were friendly and informative, and they provide a basic breakfast I enjoyed the small amount of time I spent here and the convenience of it’s location, so I will be staying here again

Kels J

William Fay

I didn’t have high expectations but overall this was a pleasant surprise The staff is very friendly and customer service focused The breakfast was probably above average to a fair amount above average

The rooms are about exactly what you would expect but were clean enough and good enough for their purpose Parking is plentiful, although there seems to be a notorious consistent practice of people parking in the very back corners and having their car alarms go off at all hours of the night, though I don’t know that is the Hotels faultThis hotel is a little ways South of Tacoma and a little ways North of Olympia but is basically right on top of Fort Louis and McCord if you’re coming TDY It seems like during the week half the room having breakfast is in military uniform

Stephanie

I’m a little mixed on how to do this review On one hand the room was nice and clean, had a nice mini fridge and microwave and a Keurig coffee pot with about 4 coffee pods and some creamer/sugar packets That all was nice

The bed had a duvet on the bedspread, which scares me that maybe they don’t wash the bedspread, but just the duvet Also the bedspread kept slipping out of it and falling to the floor, that was annoying to keep fixing On the other hand I’m disappointed in the facility because I rented it specifically for the pool and hot tub, the hot tub was out of order and the pool was cold, like really cold I came from Illinois to visit my son and his family on the army base and wanted a pool for the kids to come swim in, if I hadn’t wanted the pool I would have chosen a different hotel closer It was mid 40s outside, so I’m not sure why an indoor pool was so cold, but it was too cold to use The continental breakfast was okay

Cort McAllister

The staff is awesome here Gives you bottled water for free However, this place has 147 rooms and one (1) guest laundry facility

One of the two washing machines is out of service, so now there’s one machine for the entire hotel That creates absolute chaos Not to mention the fact that the year is now 2022 and we are still seeing coin-operated machines instead of the kind which can take a credit or debit card No pets allowed Hot tub taped off, out of order One of the elevators just broke Staff never at the front, sometimes nobody is in the back office either Ice machine is empty

The good and the bad… Honest Recent ReviewI had JUST checked in and in a matter of 5 minutes my truck window was smashed- and items stolen- at 1 in the afternoon and parked out front Cost to replace was $500 CDN Police came and they were really nice 😂Staff was AMAZING

Helped me clean up Were very apologetic and kind and I stayed for the remainder of my stay because of itRoom bedding I had to change when I arrived as it was dirty But, they brought warm clean bedding I threw on Rest of the room seemed cleanI mean, to me the Staff make the place They were really good to me Everywhere, and I mean everywhere around here has crime and the exact same issues So at least you’re staying somewhere where they seem to care

We were very upset when our room was changed without our knowledge prior to our arrival We requested and paid for a queen suite so that we could be with our three children together in the same room When we checked in we were told that the suite had not been cleaned and we were going to have to stay in two separate rooms that had queen beds

I explained to the person checking us in that we needed a suite in order to remain together as a family for our vacation and was told that there was nothing he could do about it and he seemed annoyed that I cared He said you “would not rather have two rooms?” I then requested that we change rooms the next day in order to be together for the remainder of our stay and at first he told us that that could not happen but then changed and said it could For that night my husband and I had to stay in separate rooms and split the kids When we spoke with the new person at the check-in counter the next morning they again seemed surprised that we would not prefer two separate rooms and we had to explain again that we have our children and did not want to be sleeping in separate rooms on our vacation They let us know that the queen suite that we reserved was currently full and we would have to wait for the people to check out and the room to be cleaned This let us know that the hotel chose to take more money and allow someone else that suite even though we had booked in advance and paid the day that we booked for that room It was clear to me that there was no care or thought about how that would affect our stay and nobody called to let us know that we would not have that suite or offered a refund for that night to see if we could find a suite elsewhere, instead they knew that when we arrived we would have no option but to stay in two separate rooms and the hotel was able to get money for double booking the room that we already paid for Whenever we travel I look for hiltons in the area because it is typically the most comfortable stay, but I no longer trust Hilton to honor reserving the room that we pay for

Great trip I was in Tacoma for the Tool concert, and stayed one night Check in was easy, great people working the front desk

My room was very clean I enjoyed the complimentary extras in the bathroom I forgot make up remover, so having a make up wipe came in clutch Parking was a little extra, but worth it You have to use your room key to open the gate for parking, so that made it feel safer Overall, it was a great visit and I would stay here again

Paris Edwards

I did appreciate that pulling into the hotel providing shelter and a covered parking structure The amenities in the room were were basic but fine for a weekend trip The bed was nice and there was enough space for two people without feeling cramped

I would give another star, but the fan in the room was either damaged or needed repairs The highest setting barely worked

We really enjoyed our stay at the Silver Cloud Inn and would have given five stars if it weren’t for the fact that they charge $14 dollars per night to park for hotel guests Since guests are paying such a high price already for such a nice hotel, you would think they would parking would be included Our room was beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous view

The staff/hotel were very accommodating and welcomed our service dog The hotel is in a safe and nice location, with a dog park just feet away which was very convenient since we were traveling with our service dog The breakfast options were great, they offered both hot and cold items, everything tasted good Staff were always very nice, friendly and prompt in taking care of any of our needs in a timely manner We definitely recommend

Rooms are clean and interior is updated The Staff are super friendly and the location is unbeatable Great views from almost all the rooms

Complimentary Breakfast is also delicious and simple with a fantastic morning viewOnly downside Not enough to take a star away, is the shower The water pressure is a joke More like a trickle

Trinity Lucas

I booked this place for my bf 21st birthday, it was easy booking & they’re friendly and helpful over the phone When we arrived, they upgraded his room to a better view with a jacuzzi complementary for his birthday which was amazing and shocking! Room was clean & fresh & bed is comfortable Definitely recommend & would book again in the future !

This is an amazing historic building, and McMenamins did a great job making it a fun place to visit! Staff was friendly and very helpful! Our group had a dinner and everyone enjoyed the food and were really impressed with the quality of food and how great it was The Spanish Ballroom is a great music venue! The sound system is excellent and a really cool space to check out live music! I definitely will return as I know I missed some of the great spaces Parking is mostly street parking, so that was the only reason I gave location 4 stars

David Brown

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any resort This web site will compare thousands of hotel sites and usually will have rates a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area

I have been staying here for a very long time If you decide to stay here you won’t be let downLove love love this place! So unique and so fun! What a great atmosphere, from the inside to the out and from the top to the bottom! Each bar is so different and I think my favorite thing is I don’t know if there’s 2 matching light fixtures in the entire place! Oh And the food is so good!!!

Gerry Hunter

McMenamins nailed it again with the Elks Temple property; a beautiful renovation of an historic building, well-executed and full of fun bits of history to learn about the building and the area Fun to stroll the entire building (the diverse collection of chandeliers is amazing — don’t miss the atrium!) We had dinner in the pub; the service was solid, and everything was tasty and a decent value

Even had a couple of cocktails which were pleasingly well-madeThe bed was great, the room was clean and everything worked Only downside was a bit of all-night industrial noise and light from across the water; it was great to sit and look out at it all with a drink, but a touch noisy for good sleep Pulling closed the heavy drapes in the room took care of all of the light and most of the noise though, so it should really only be an issue for light sleepers

Extremely personable staff Well kept rooms I even liked the art

The rooms are arranged a bit different from what a normal hotel might do and I think it works Fast and roomy elevator Ac/heat works really well and gets to temp quickly Great water pressure I really enjoyed that there is actual shelves in the shower Zone Lighting in the room where needed Super cool area too Lots to do within walking distance 100% would stay again

I attended a meeting here The space is very nice, the catering was good We had make your own sandwich trays

The restrooms are clean and modern Parking is a challenge We parked across the street and the payment machines were inoperable I had to go to the front desk to pay for parking That was extra time while I was rushing to get to my meeting

IMR

The rooms were nice & the hotel was very elegant & clean The only thing wrong was the way the built the parking garage It is very tight & narrow

If you have a big truck or pulling a trailer you will have to park on the street They can’t even get a tow truck in it Be very aware this parking garage is very small Maybe they thought all their guests & staff would be driving smart cars
