McMenamins Elk Temple

10/10 Excellent

"One of the coolest, cleanest, well appointed hotels I've ever been to. Right away I was blown away with the restoration of the building and the style that the architects went with. All the bars and restaurants are great! There seems to be something in every corner of the hotel to check out. Will definitely be back and will also be checking out all the other McMenamins properties as well! What a gem! Great location in downtown Tacoma too!"

"It is listed as a basement apartment but it doesn't feel like a basement - it is really lovely and quite comfortable. I would choose to stay there again. Parking in the driveway worked once I realized it was easier to come in from the Division Street end versus from 4th Street."

8/10 Good

"The house was in good shape. Host was very communicative. Location is not great at all. Tons of homeless sleeping right across the street. Right next to a hospital so you’re hearing sirens all night and right off a main road so road noise in general can be heard at all hours."

Stadium District Studio-King Bed-Walk to it all!

10/10 Excellent

"Very Clean, nice open layout. Well insulated bcuz very quiet. Lovely, safe neighborhood which is especially great for a female traveling alone. Cool in-sink dishwasher, and All-in-one washer/dryer which was a bit confusing to use, but host answered my question even at 1130pm. I will happily stay here again in the future"
