Top South Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tacoma South - Lakewood by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and staff was friendly especially the gentleman who take care of the pool. What was a big issue was the lack of breakfast items.we had 3 rooms for 3 nights and each morning we had to ask for items ( the lady in charge of the breakfast was friendly and did her best)but constantly running out of items was disappointing. There was a sign stating new hot breakfast . Maybe they are still working out the kinks."
