Tacoma Boutique
Fraud. I paid for a room, and then was never given access to the property. No response from owner. This listing should be removed from Expedia immediately.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
It was a nice room in excellent condition but hair was found on the bed. The sink didn’t drain real well in the bathroom. Staff was great when I arrived but when checking out the woman seemed kinda distracted.

The rooms were really clean. The staff were extra nice. We didn’t try the breakfast or the bar, but the hotel itself was really nice.

Coast Gateway Hotel
Very clean, decent part of town, staff was lovely, and the bagged breakfast they made for us since we had to get to the airport very early, was unexpected and very thoughtful. I will definitely stay here again.
