Top Downtown Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, reliable shuttle service and a decent restaurant right next door"

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Disappointed that hot tub was not working. Security said that it’s been a couple weeks. Used the shuttle A LOT to get to and from the airport for the light rail. Many eateries within an easy walk. Lots of trees and plants gave a nice ambiance. Adequate elevators so no/little wait time to get up or down. Yummy cookies and water refill station a nice touch! We were on a redeye and was able to get an early check-in which was absolutely wonderful"
