Top Downtown Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown

8/10 Good

"secure in tacoma 😳 i was worried till i showed up. great security"

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very clean and quiet. My room was in the front corner of the building overlooking the parking lot for the restaurant next door so I heard car doors here and there while the restaurant was open as well as the beeping of the Hotel shuttle at times, but I never heard any planes. I have hyperacusis which means I have extremely sensitive hearing and these noises still weren't very loud. With my little noise machine on at night I slept perfectly in the super comfy bed. All of the staff were very helpful and kind. I had a wonderful stay!"
