Top Harbor History Museum Hotel Reviews

The INN at Gig Harbor

8/10 Good

"Front Desk was very friendly and registration and check out was painless."

Walkable Harbor Escape Modern 2 Bedroom Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property! Incredibly stocked kitchen. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you, Marcia!!"

Amazing Lighthouse Beach Waterfront Homes sleeps 14

10/10 Excellent

"11 of us had a great stay. The hosts availability before our stay was exceptional in arranging for us to visit and in adjusting our reservation. The walk from the parking to the houses, though short, was a bit challenging for several older members of our group, but not an obstacle. We would definitely repeat."

The Maritime Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very sweet cozy and romantic."

Waterfront Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel and room were beautiful. Well appointed, comfortable bed, lots of little extras. I can’t get over the lack of local TV channels. I was there on a Sunday and wanted to watch football, but couldn’t without a subscription. They have a Roku TV, lots of streaming, but no local channels. It was a little noisy. I was in the Tacoma room. Between the fridge in the room, the ice maker in the lobby/shared area, and the traffic noise, my sleep wasn’t great. Those things might not bother most people. All in all, the place was beautiful and Gig Harbor was so cute."

Best Western Wesley Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Gig Harbor- Secluded Apartment with Million Dollar View. 10-minute walk to town

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property and location. Host was equally amazing. We had a fantastic stay and can’t wait to visit again."

Peacock Hill Retreat on 1 Acre, 1 Mi to Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay!! The location was convenient and easy to find. The accommodations were very clean and things were well stocked. We’d stay here again for sure!!"

Great Harbor View Entire 2Br & 2Ba Vacation/Getaway Unit

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice rental unit! Very spacious and clean and location was great! I wish I would have had more time to enjoy it, but it was a wedding week-end, and all we got to do there was shower and sleep (and very little sleep with all the planned activities).I would highly recommend Jason’s place to anyone. He was great at responding to questions I have mobility issues and walk with a cane. Assess was very manageable. Thank you Jason!"
