Hotels in Tacoma, WA

“Friendly Staff, amazing Secret Burger, the rooms are clean, the beds and pillows are pretty decent, some little things could be fixed in the rooms minor things, but all in all my first choice in Tacoma. One thing though, there is never a tv channel guide, or any tourist style guides...like whats going on close by...
Super easy access to many awesome things to do... tacoma dome, emerald queen casino and shows.....
I give a them an A ✌️”

“Nice hotel right on the water with good breakfast and friendly staff. Free parking alongside the beach promenade. Restaurants nearby, as well as some local shops and coffee joints within walking distance. However, beware of the railroad tracks passing the hotel. Rooms closest to the road aren't very peaceful as trains blow their horns multiple times throughout the night while passing due to an active railroad crossing nearby.”

“The location was superb and the property was very quaint and charming. Every room told a story, and the proprietors were delightful. Will definitely stay again when in Tacoma.”

“When I visited Emerald Queen Casino in Fife a few years ago, my favorite parts were definitely the food and the easy access. The casino has a variety of dining options, including sit‑down restaurants like Tatoosh Grill at Emerald Queen Casino, where you can enjoy classic American dishes and more elevated meals. They also offer Chinese‑inspired options and a range of other international fare on their menus, from seafood to stir‑fried favorites — a great choice if you’re craving things like lobster or hearty Chinese dishes. The overall experience was satisfying, and while I can’t speak to how things are right now, the food quality back then definitely deserved attention and praise. 

One of the nice conveniences of visiting Emerald Queen is the parking — there’s abundant on‑site parking, including covered parking options, which makes arriving and leaving stress‑free even on busier nights. That was a big plus compared to some other casino destinations, and it made the trip feel effortless from my car to the dining or gaming floor. 

Service during my visit was pretty good, with attentive servers making the meal more enjoyable. I don’t have a current take on the gambling side of things, but as for food, parking, and atmosphere, I’d give this casino about four stars overall. If you go mainly to eat and relax rather than gamble, it’s worth a visit — though ratings and experiences online are mixed, the restaurant experience still stands out for many visitors.”

“Nice and clean rooms. Secure parking lot. Great location if you're going to Cheney Stadium for a game.
Overall it was a pleasant stay. I would say the price is a little high for what you get. No continental breakfast. And the wording for the bottles of water is a bit ambiguous, (BEWARE).
You'll get charged 3 bucks for them. I'll definitely look somewhere else next time.”

“We recently had to stay at this hotel for a baseball tournament and it by far exceeded my expectations. The rooms are clean and well serviced, the hotel itself is clearly well maintained. The pool is indoor but well kept and treated. The public bathrooms are always well kept and stalked. Check in was timely. Breakfast was delicious and the team member who work to prepare and provide upkeep to the breakfast area were so kind. I have a baby who got fussy and they went as far as playing with him so I can quickly eat before we had to leave for the day. A special shout out to Kelly, Alice and Brie for always making sure we were taken care of. We would 100% stay here again.”

“Terrible experience. No service with this hotel. As a company they can do what ever they want as far as pricing and decisions. Terrible customer service. My worst experience dealing with a hotel.”

“Great, clean, well-maintained hotel. Stay here if you want something with good services but don’t want to pay exorbitant Seattle hotel prices. Breakfast was balanced. The only thing that could be better is the road nearby the hotel is busy and may be a bit loud at times.”

“There are two locations; fife and Tacoma. I like both. For the hotel, Fife is pet friendly, Tacoma is not. For the gaming floor, fife has a more down to earth (I mean biker bar seedy) feel to it which I find rather comfortable. Tacoma has a higher class (higher minimum bet and flashier games, more lights and shiny decor) feel to it, which I am comfortable bringing my mother to.”

“Ok, first off, I am a real hard reviewer on places. I was sceptical on the reviews at first. I'm so happy I booked this hotel. The rooms are so clean, so quiet and amazing views (had a high floor room). The staff is the absolute nicest staff I've ever encountered in a hotel, shout out to Matt and Cloe at the front desk for being so great!!!!!!!. I will never stay at a different hotel in Tacoma, this place is epic”

“These apartments are super cute and quaint. Historic vibes fo sho. I toured with Ellie and Jessie and they were both fantastic! Super friendly and Ellie was able to answer all my questions! They even took their time showing me four other properties they have. Great experience overall and will be highly considering this place on my next move”

“La Quinta Inn is amazing for family, but the hidden gem is the bar just inside the doors on the left. Carly is an amazing bartender who remembers your drink and is friendly and super personable. Drinks are reasonable and they have food too. You don't have to stay at the hotel to come into the bar. Stop by, order a drink and say hi to Carly, you won't regret it and it will probably end up being your favorite bar. Open 5pm-10pm”

“An outstanding hospitality experience defined by impeccable service and remarkable attention to detail. The staff anticipate guests’ needs with genuine warmth and professionalism, often fulfilling my requests before I had even finished expressing them. The refined atmosphere, exceptional comfort, and sincere dedication to guest satisfaction create a truly elevated and memorable stay. This experience exceeded all expectations, and I look forward to returning again.”

“Everything was great except there was only 1 lightbulb I had to switch from the main room into the bathroom.. I probably could have asked for another bulb... But didn't...”

“I have to edit this review because I didn't do this place NEARLY enough justice.My life was falling apart around me. I lost my grandmother, my home, my family and I had been searching for somewhere to stay that wasn't a shelter. Thats when we found the Howard Johnson. This wonderful place took us in (for a price, nothing is free after all!) and housed us for nearly 2 months till we got an offer from someone else. For 2 months, I went to school and came back to call this place home. For 2 months, I had a hot shower and a bed of my own. The rooms are kept immaculately clean between visits, and the fact that they have rooms that walk into one another (when you book the BIG ones) was just amazing. The staff at the time were some of the nicest people I had met. The breakfast down in the lobby made mornings bearable and the news networks they had on at the time usually had feel good stories playing. The air conditioning ACTUALLY worked unlike a few of the motels we had been staying at prior. The balconies are really nice, its easy to stand out there and get lost for hours listening to the traffic zoom by. Snowfall looks beautiful from those big sliding glass doors. For being in a weird area, it was probably the best thing that had ever happened to us.Im back on my feet now, with a house of my own, and it's all thanks to the howard johnson for keeping us alive. It may be a hotel, but in my mind, I still call this place home.”

“I have stayed here at this location multiple times within the last 90 days and each time has been filled with nothing but kindness understanding and being treated as a human being. The staff at this location are very cordial, personable and easy to talk to. My room was immaculately clean and the toiletries were enough. The coffee is FIRE!!!! Just like their customer service. One thing I will tell you is to NOT come here with ANY nonsense - THEY WILL NOT HAVE IT!!! And I love that. Made me feel safe and secure during my search of my stays!!! Mr. Horace, Sing and the ENTIRE staff are true gems. They’re irreplaceable!!!”
