Top Downtown Tacoma Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Efficient and professional check in/check out. Included breakfast much better than usual. Airport shuttle on time and smoothly run. Free brown bag snack available for your flight a thoughtful touch. Loved the decor of the suite. The cleanliness and maintenance of the property truly outstanding."

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

8/10 Good

"Our cable didn’t work in our room all night. When we checked out, they gave us a complimentary breakfast. We didn’t push for anything in return, merely shared that it wasn’t working. The Supervisor knew how to take care of a customer. Nice touch! I will stay there again"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

8/10 Good

"Our king size bed room was great for the time we spent there. The only challenge was the high fragrance that hit you when you came into the room. Other than that, we had delicious breakfast and great service by all the staff. We were mindful The area the hotel was in had a number of vulnerable women and men that made us feel unsafe. Our plan was to walk over to the Emerald Casino and Hotel for a concert, but we opted to drive over instead. Very nice hotel but in a precarious neighbourhood."

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC

8/10 Good

"Love the staff’s friendliness, convenience to/from airport by their shuttle bus, the room was big with complimentary coffee, shower gel and soap, the air conditioning was working properly and their vending machine has my favourite Cheetos. However, the smell of marijuana was terrible. It supposed to be non smoking hotel but my floor has quite strong smell. I was pretty tired when I checked in so 5 mins walking distance to Denny was great for quick meal."
