Top Karpeles Manuscript Museum Hotel Reviews

Walkable & Free Parking in Heart of Tacoma

10/10 Excellent

"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."

King Bed Walk to it all! Stadium District

10/10 Excellent

"This property was very clean with a responsive and friendly host Robert."

10/10 Excellent

"Constantine was very quick to reply to questions I had. Very nice place to stay...and clean."

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"

Mrs Jensen's Bakery Suite... a very sweet suite

8/10 Good

"Lovely little place to stay. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. My only complaint is that it had a tiny hotel room style fridge. I think the ad said apartment fridge which i thought meant it would be one of the smaller full size fridges. We had to keep all our food for the trip in our cooler. Otherwise a great place to stay."

The Nest - 4BR Historic Duplex • Walk to Park + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"The townhouse (really the second and third floors) has excellent space — four bedrooms and three baths. There were plenty of bath towels and the washer and dryer were greatThe neighborhood is going through a transition, though we always felt safe. It’s only a block to Wright Park, which is great. We were frustrated that we had to walk past overflowing garbage bins every day (we were there six nights) as we walked to the front door. We messaged the owner, who said the cleaning crew should have taken care of that and we could put our garbage in other bins. There was never an offer to empty them."

The Meadow - Elegant 3BR Getaway•Near Wright Park+Gazebo

8/10 Good

"Clean, accessible, three bedroom two level rental. Some challenges with getting the TV and projector to work. Downstairs had a slight cat smell. Works well for a family."

The Downtown Hobbit Hole

8/10 Good

"The location was great! The property was very clean and communication with the host was great also."
