Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tacoma Downtown, an IHG Hotel
5/5 Excellent
Good option for staying in Tacoma
"The hotel itself was great. Room was nice, pool was fine, elevator was convenient, breakfast was awesome. The garage made me feel better about the vehicle overnight in the city. Keep in mind, the garage ceiling clearance is barely high enough for a pickup truck! We had inches to spare. The room fridge/freezer was not set cold enough so we lost some frozen items. We had inconsiderate people above us that were allowing kids to jump off the beds onto the floor until midnight, but that was not the hotel’s fault. In summary, I rarely like traveling to the “west side” of Washington anymore because of crime and such, but the Holiday Inn is a great choice if you’re going to be in the area overnight."

"This place is so much fun and the people who work there are SO helpful and nice! The decor is amazing and the light fixtures make me want to visit their warehouse to see what other stupendous items are in there, and I’d like to hire the same decorators to design and outfit my house if I were to win the lottery.

Owner is the best!
"Communication with the owner was excellent from beginning to end; he responded immediately with friendliness and all the information we needed. The check-in process was easy with no problems even though we arrived after dark. Instructions were clear and we were told that if we needed anything to just reach out. (The water pressure was phenomenally good.) The neighborhood is cute with 6th Avenue only a block away. The owner obviously cares about his property and his guests. 5 Stars."
