10/10 Excellent

We only stayed one night because we were in town for a concert, so we didn’t utilize all the amenities this place has to offer. The food at the ground floor bar/restaurant was good but service was slow - friendly staff though. I would return to stay if I ever visit Tacoma again and would like to check out all the bars!

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay loved exploring the different locations within McMenamins! Bright colorful amazing art to explore! Cutest little gift shop! Friendly staff! Close to some really cute shops! Just exploring the different floors and finding the hidden bar was an experience in itself! We will definitely be back!

Handy to eat in the hotel.

10/10 Excellent

The area around it is ok. The stair gates are a real pain for dragging suitcases up and down. Room was small but comfortable. Building interior and exterior are lovely. Super nice to sit outside the Spanish bar. Nice to have food on site. Parking is a pain from 3-6.
Kari, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Enjoyed my stay.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Each room and floor was unique. The fireplace area is a vibe. The bars on each floor are just amazing and the staff and security goes out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. The elevator was out when we checked in and was repaired by the following morning. You really need to stay and try a package or stay when there is a show. And wander in your bathrobe. That's my favorite part!
Nancy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We loved the Tiki bar in the basement. There’s lots and lots of stairs. No place to park. We parked in a lot below the hotel. Climbed lots of stairs to get to the hotel. It has beautiful decorations. Great food. Getting to your hotel room requires stairs. The hallways seem claustrophobic. If climbing stairs and enclosed spaces don’t bother you it’s a fun hotel. There was a secret bar on our floor. Opened the door it was a narrow room full of people with no windows. It would be really fun there to go there for Halloween. If narrow spaces with no windows bother you then this place is probably not it. Maybe go there for the good food and leave.

Fun and nice place to stay. Staff were great!
Lonnie, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

They have no parking and we had to park on the street and our car was broken into and our cruise-luggage was stolen. We had to cancel our cruise and have the car repaired. The main reason that we did not bring in our cruise-luggage was that we were on a floor that did not have an elevator and we had to haul our overnight stuff up and down stairs. NEVER STAY HERE.

Fantastic spot!

What a gem. Nice and helpful front desk (thank you Ellie!). Funky yet classy decor throughout. Great quiet rooms. Multiple differing restaurants and pubs and fun atmosphere makes this a must visit for anyone going to the really cool city of Tacoma!
