Top Central Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Seattle SeaTac Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was nice, room was very clean"

The INN at Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room met my needs comfortably. The breakfast staff person made guests feel welcome with just the right amount of friendliness and replenished food proactively. EV charging on site offered a convenience of home that also sped up my journey the next day. Would I stay here again? Yes, I would. Thank you!"

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient if needing a hotel by the airport with free shuttle service running every 15 mins or so. Staff was friendly and held our luggage after checkout so we could catch the light rail to the city for a few hours before our flight. It wasn’t really close to the Light Rail (maybe 1/2 mile up the street) but if you’re not by yourself and it’s not nighttime, then the walk/area is totally fine. The tiebreaker for us is their location next to a great restaurant that stays open later than the other airport hotels. We would definitely stay here again!"

Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

8/10 Good

"We had a great experience staying at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient. Overall, everything was good, and we enjoyed our stay. There are a few small areas that could be improved, but we would definitely consider staying here again. Highly recommended!"
