Staying here was an excellent experience. I saw Italian Gothic metal band Lacuna Coil perform at the Spanish Ballroom which is part of the hotel complex. The complex also houses a bottle shop and a number of bars/restaurants. The staff are courteous and helpful, and everything is very clean. I had a fine breakfast at one of the restaurants before leaving.
Very clean.
Staff very friendly. Staff accommodated late check out.
Quirky, fun decor.
Beautiful historic building. We enjoyed reading the history of the building that was provided.
So much fun all in one place!! We saw a concert, had dinner, very comfort accommodations, and adventure exploring the site. We will definately be back!!
They gave me a room then they put me out the room for no reason , and it was my 50 bday. Horrible experience. Customer services at the front desk so unprofessional, and unconcerning
Great place, lots of personality. However, some of the rooms are only accessible via a stairwell. We are not disabled in anyway, but lugging three suitcases up and down stairs is not fun. Just a heads up to others, ask ahead if the room you are getting has elevator access.
What a gem. Nice and helpful front desk (thank you Ellie!). Funky yet classy decor throughout. Great quiet rooms. Multiple differing restaurants and pubs and fun atmosphere makes this a must visit for anyone going to the really cool city of Tacoma!
What an amazing hotel! Built in 1916 as an elks temple. Paintings and chandeliers and several gorgeous bars. Rooms small, but very clean and comfortable. Only complaint: rooms on 6th floor are interior and do not have windows to the outside.
