Top Downtown Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a great place to stay"

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This hotel is within walking distance to the Seattle airport. Check-in was pleasant, although they were unable to provide a printed copy of my room charges upon check-out as ‘ I didn’t have any additional hotel charges and I had paid in advance’. Strange reasoning to me but whatever. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds and coffee services. The hotel doesn’t provide water in the room or room service but one can go to the lobby bar and pick up food. The burger and fries were good."
