Top South Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Restaurant and bar are wonderful. Rooms are clean and quiet. Beds are very comfy."

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our third stay here. we even had to leave the hotel at 3:20 AM for our flight at 5:50 AM. The hotel gave us our little brown bag breakfast, which was perfect to take along: peach yogurt, small bagel, cream, cheese, and apple, and string cheese, and a nut bar. Everybody was right on time no problems we had a wake up call that arrived on time. I do wish they would put a nightlight in the bathroom. Otherwise, Very Good. Friendly. Helpful. We’ll be back."

Courtyard by Marriott Seattle SeaTac Airport

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff wasn’t very helpful, i asked for towels and they told me to go downstairs to get them from them. Tv wasn't working and staff said they would call back with a resolution and never did. Hotel lobby smelled like old vegetable oil for our entire 6 night stay."
