Top Harbor History Museum Hotel Reviews

The INN at Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"outstanding staff - cleanliness and breakfast"

Walkable Harbor Escape Modern 2 Bedroom Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the house. It was exceptionally clean and in a great location. It was very easy to walk to where we wanted to go. We look forward to coming back and staying here again."

Luxury Waterfront Home walk to Downtown Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was outstanding and the views were superb! The house was beautifully decorated and the kitchen well supplied with appliances, dishes and utensils. The firepit was amazing!"

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
