La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Auburn
Staff was great and very accommodating. Great service. Breakfast was a good spread. Rooms were clean. It wasn't fully stocked (no hand soap, etc) but not sure if that was missed or we don't get those anymore. Not a big deal. Overall, I would stay here again.

The best place to stay in Tacoma. I love this hotel, and the staff really went out of their way to help my son when they really didn't have to. Always my first choice when I am there.
