Top Downtown Tacoma Hotel Reviews

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North

8/10 Good

"Clean room was ready near the airport and the shuttle was useful. I just slept and headed to my Alaska cruise the next morning. Wish they had more food offerings for later in the evening."

Larkspur Landing Extended Stay Suites Renton

8/10 Good

"The additional parking fee came as somewhat of a surprise. It was also disappointing that the advertised breakfast was unavailable. According to one staff member, whom I overheard talking with another guest, the supplies for breakfast had not been delivered to this facility for a few weeks."

Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South. This was an amazing budget hotel that had absolutely everything we needed, and we honestly wish we could have stayed longer compared to other places we've visited. The bed was amazing—easily one of the best and softest beds we’ve ever slept in, and I wish we could have brought it home with us! The entire hotel was very clean, and everything looked incredibly new and nice. The breakfast was standard but delicious, and there was plenty of parking to choose from. We also noticed they had EV charging available on-site, which we really wish we knew about beforehand because we definitely would have rented an EV instead. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a great find."
