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

Rooms were quiet Was there for 8 days for funeral Maid service was terrible

You had to put something on your door requesting room to be cleaned up with fresh towels and miscellaneous items One day I did request maid service no one came in to do room Had toCall front desk to get towels and toilet paper and other miscellaneous item Wish they had a book in room that showed what tv channels and what there hotel offered Stayed in Ada room No fan in restroom Not a lot of water pressure in showerOur daughter had another roomUpstairs She said freeway was loud Fan was loud and room was mixture of outdated furniture and wallpaper coming off wallsDon’t know if it was worth the price for the roomMay stay somewhere next time I came But this place was only one convenient for the funeral

Todd Newton

Staff is professional and helpful In room coffee is quite good, plus they give you more if you ask! Bed was super comfy – pillows a bit flat but I had the best nights’ rest here Huge in room TV! Since my family is expecting many family member headed into town for our wedding I am confident this Team will provide a positive experience

J P

Having stayed regularly over the past 13 years, this was our go-to spot for a little luxury getaway stay for a room with a jacuzzi tub to relax Since moving to the area, I’ve routinely recommended the INN at Gig Harbor to family and friends However the most recent visit left us disappointed

The exterior of the building remains charming, but the rooms, furnishings and linens are in dire need of attention and updating

I cannot say enough about this hotel The staff was amazing They are very friendly and talkative

They helped me out in my situation here and accommodated me very well It can be noisy at times, but they realize that and even provided a tip sheet on how to drown out the noise (see picture) The bar and food here are both very good I highly recommend this hotel, just park in the main lot and you’ll be good! They have security and the staff is watchful as well

Derek M

I was only here for a night for work, but it was a pleasant stay Alonzo during check in was knowledgeable and friendly The check in process was a breeze thanks to him

I checked out at 3am and Tiffany was more than helpful! She couldn’t check me out right away due to the overnight audit being completed, but she made sure to get my email, verify the card on file, and check me out as soon as possible She made sure I was prepared for my travels by offering coffee from the snack shop and sending me off with well wishes While waiting for my ride to the airport, I heard her interacting with another guest buying food from the shop, and she even thought to ask if he needed a fork Tiffany is a keeper Thank you all for a pleasant stay!

Kareem Hadee

I haven’t actually been to this Motel, but I have been to many of the Comedy club events sponsored by Nate Jackson I can tell you there is plenty of well lit parking at this location Easy access to I5 if you want to head into town

The recent renovation of what was once a Red lion Hotel made this spot the Holiday Inn it currently is

Tiffanie Cantua

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 ☆☆☆☆☆

Cherish Chamberlain

We stayed here for three weeks while looking for a house The staff was exceptionally kind and compassionate through this rough time We celebrated a birthday, took care of a sick dog, dealt with realtors, and many other very stressful things while staying here

The staff made us feel at home When there was a break in nearby, the staff kept us safe, even having a family member in the parking lot to watch for us The rooms are spacious and were very clean when we got there The whole hotel is clean I loved the snack room and gym I can’t express how great of a stay this was I look forward to staying here again

Andrea Engh

I love how clean the place is The rooms are very spacious and they have a camera always watching the parking lot front and back and all throughout the halls It’s very secure and the staff are always friendly saying hello and how is your day and have a good night

Plus you can borrow stuff for example I needed to borrow a blender It was super easyi just told the lady at front desk and she unlocked the cupboard and got me 1 Plus they always have free coffee all day long and you can borrow movies and even have stuff charged to your room (like an expensive hotel) Here I’ll sum it up in 2 words THEY’RE AWESOME!

Ed Bunch

Nice rooms with full kitchens including a dishwasher

which your expect to use for breakfast as they don’t provide one (as my wife thought 🙂 Price was right as there really isn’t anything around except for the commuter train – less than 1 miles walk Pretty quiet and comfortable They take security pretty seriously as they keep the inner front door locked from outside and you have to be let in depending on the time of day Only one small non-decaf coffee (maybe could ask for more) and no cream is provided to used in the full size coffee maker You get to figure out how much H2O to use Recommended bringing your own ground coffee and breakfast fixins

Jeff Tinkham

The Aeroplane Room was visually cozyNot so much for the bed and seating We stayed two nights and as a middle-aged guy the mattress was one of the poorest I’ve experienced

Very lumpy and clearly way past it’s prime For the price I would expect much more The wicker sitting chair was also quite uncomfortable to me

Natalie Riegel

This is wonderful little hotel run by a family It is located right across from the harbor Our room faced the harbor and the street in front but we did not have to worry about privacy because the had excellent window treatments that gave privacy during day and blackout at night

The beds were very comfortable and a very nice bathroom The continental breakfast adequate, very covid safe A lovely place to stay if visiting Gig Harbor area

Stephanie Slon

My husband surprised me with a night at the Maritime Inn for our 40th wedding anniversary We had a lovely room with its own fireplace and private porch looking out over the harborThe staff was welcoming and quick to describe the amenities including a welcome glass of wine and a continental breakfast in the morning

We were also able to have a great meal at Brix restaurant a few steps from the InnStephanie S

Dean Hottenstein

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

J X

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 !

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

Hampus Engstroem

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a place They compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This hotel is one of the best in the area

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

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

The staff is definitely golden!! I had the pleasure to talk to 5 staff members during my recent trip and they were all very helpful, professional and just nice to talk toPool and spa are nice and cleanThe room was clean and everything seemed new and in good condition

Breakfast was AMAZING Definitely not one of those places you leave Breakfast to go get some McmuffinsI want to go back!!

Sheena Fulton

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

Andrea Cisneros

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

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…

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

I was Surprised and Pleased with my La Quinta Hotel decisionI have lived in the Tacoma area for about 25 years and two years ago moved to Arizona I travel back-and-forth for business

The city has gone through so much since the Covid situation it’s hard to determine these days where to stay The location was central, they kept the facility locked and safe 24 hours a day The staff is what made it a five-star visit everybody was friendly and very accommodating I enjoyed that they had a continental breakfast in the morning and then they serve dinner from 5 to 9 in the lounge I felt it was affordable and the food was good Again mainly the service was five star thank you very much to the staff I’ll see you again soon!

It’s your typical La Quinta Inn Staff was very friendly and helpful! The first room we stayed in was a bit messy but they had no issues making in right at the counter They were very apologetic and quick to give us another room

Breakfast was great, nothing like waffles and some orange juice Absolutely enjoyed the little restaurant on the first floor There was barely anyone dining in when I went and you could change the tunes through the tune app on your phone I ordered a BBQ burger and they didn’t disappoint at all! I’d recommend staying here if you’re in town or don’t want to spend too much on Airbnbs There’s also plenty of places nearby that you could walk to

Nice hotel in Gig Harbor away from the main downtown area but in walking distance to a few restaurants and a Starbucks We reserved the suite with 1 king 1 queen and a sofa bed which worked for my family of five Breakfast kept us full until early afternoon and consisted of eggs (though they seemed to be powdered eggs; strange consistency), sausage links, waffles/french toast, yogurts, oatmeal, and fruits

Good coffee in the rooms (K cups) Friendly and responsive staff Overall good value for the area

#ThreeHatsRanch

Great location in Gig Harbor Full breakfast is free Big, clean rooms with a very helpful courteous staff

Nice big rooms Pretty quiet at night and comfortable beds It is not told to you at time of check in, but they only clean your room if you ask! We arrived back in the evening to find unmade bed, towels still placed where we left them, etc I find it sad that they cant find people to work People need to wake up and see how destructive the new administration is and the havoc being created in all areas of the economy

Dale R. Anderson

Wesley Suite 255 Two rooms and a king bed much like the photos, tub and fireplace and bed in rear room A TV in both rooms

No stand nor light next to fairly stiff reading chair Heater controls did not seem to work as expected The thermostat seemed limited to 65 but the separate fireplace was nice and hot TVs are undersized for the expectation of the client who can afford the suite It’s great they are in both rooms but they are about 40” and basic cable services with no pause buffer Bath was super premium and the real killer feature in the main room It is longer and wider than most tubs And the old fashioned casement window nearby opens for some fresh air when you unlock it I recommend bring noise canceling headphones or a pilot earmuffs to drown out the loud jets for the more relaxing experience But it outclasses the rest of the suite Including the bathroom, with its slightly precarious corner seat standup shower and standard toilet If they upgrade these more minor points over time to fill out the experience it could be quite luxurious Ah but no room service of course, and the continental breakfast was standard fare A decent pot of hearty oatmeal, a clear plastic case of cheap unpackaged premade pastries and such, browning bananas and small mealy apples Good pots of strong black coffee Staying in the suite I went down to get some fresh fruit and such to bring back and run a tub for my date Be better to bring a few groceries for the kitchenette next time No balcony and a very “parking lot” outside experience; but a decent amount of trees and birds chirruping in the morning I think this deserves three and a half all things considered

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

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

We had a nice time at this B&B which is several bedrooms in a house with a hosts sleeping in the basement We were pleasantly surprised to a delicious homemade dinner Safe and free on street parking, no pets allowed

Beautiful garden Bathrooms are shared, but we were the only guests for our bathroom which was nice Kitchen has everything you might need and the house overall has the “visiting grandma’s house” vibe down to a T Breakfast at 8am sharp but none of it was hot (not an issue) so we probably wouldn’t have gotten up quite so early if we had realized that Our double bed was rock hard, also not an issue for us but something to note if you have any back problems The hostess is such a sweet lady and great cook which is why I rate 4 stars and not 3, and also because I don’t rate small business low But I would rate 3 because the host began a prolonged discussion about politics over breakfast – and by discussion, I mean we listened to him talk about his opinion on vaccine mandates and lying politicians We were asked repeatedly don’t we agree – we didn’t, but our hesitancy to answer and vague “not really”s did nothing to quell the speech It was thoroughly awkward for us, especially as a nurse This occurance is still bothering me five days later But overall a solid and homey place to stay

Beth Whitaker

The history of B&Bs in the US began when people would let rooms in the homes to travelers passing through This helped families through challenging times, such as the Great Depression Often travelers would stay only one or two days, have breakfast with the family hosting the travelers, and then the travelers would fix or buy their other meals on their own

Patty and Jerry have captured the essence of a true B&B experience, but enhanced it with wonderful breakfasts catering to special diets, warm personalities, and a charming ambience My travels kept me there way longer than the average, and they were very kind about my staying They even stepped up and have given this mom a huge peace of mind leaving my college freshman 2100 miles from homeThese two are kind Accommodations comfortable and homeyHighly recommend and will be backOnly negatives like hotter shower and one twin bed is harder than I am used too But they still get a rarely used 5 stars because everything else, including them as people, deserve this and a bonus star if allowedOther bonuses: super close to UPS, Gig Harbor, shopping, restaurants, hiking trails, and other attractions If you need anything, just ask either one and they will do what they can

Absolutely amazing service My reservation got mixed up and the front desk and managers were super accommodating to switch my days around AND talk to my credit card to help get me a refund I stayed here for work only 5 minutes away and will definitely be back for future work trips

Rooms have actual fitted sheets on the bed which is the best and rare for hotels And reasonably priced! 5 stars

Andrew Ryan

I was really impressed by the staff here I’ve stayed in some of the higher end Marriott brands that didn’t have the friendly staff that this hotel has From the front desk to the team at breakfast to the housekeeping staff

everyone was engaged and wanted to make sure we were taken care of and enjoying our stay Ask for a room side away from the highway It can be noisy if your room faces the highway

RUTH G

The room was clean and had great water pressure! Most of the staff was great The gentleman who check is in must have been new He did explain where and thing was, our room, the elevator or breakfast

He also didn’t mention the Wi-Fi Hopefully he improves with some training Word of warning the parking sucks Small parking lot that has a bunch blocked off do to exterior work The rest is on a steep incline and the spots are small

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!

Moneesha Kamani

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

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
