Top Point Defiance Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"One of our favorite hotels! Beautiful and spacious room, great art throughout, and a tasty restaurant. Bed was comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful."

The INN at Gig Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying here when in Washington. The place is welcoming, staff super accommodating. So easy to work with. We love the Inn at Gig Harbor."

Best Western Wesley Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Lodging options are limited in this area, but the Wesley Inn is delightful. Great setting, beautiful landscaping, nice interior. My only complaint was the noise. It’s an older property so you can hear through the walls and floors. I don’t consider myself a light sleeper, but I was awakened by noises above and next door including an alarm going off in an empty room. If you’re sensitive to sound, stay upstairs on the end. Otherwise, everything was pretty great!"

The Maritime Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was such an amazing and quaint place to stay.Location was absolutely amazing ! Staff was very lovely and the rooms were exquisite! I would recommend this place every time"

Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

8/10 Good

"The cozy cottage is the perfect place to stay for 1-2 people when visiting the Ruston area in Tacoma. There’s a small convenience store a couple blocks away with coffee, beers, etc. Wifi on site was fast and easy to connect to (once we did a little troubleshooting). Towels and basic toiletries are provided as well as dishes, a Brita water filter, and Keurig coffee maker. The bed is comfy, but the bedroom does get warm in the summer. There’s a large fan in the bedroom to keep cool. Overall, I would recommend this place of looking for a place to stay in Ruston / Tacoma."

Walk to the waterfront The Hobbit House

10/10 Excellent

"It was quiet and quaint, very homey. The communication from the host was impeccable. We'll be a return guest, for sure!"
