Top Point Defiance Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very artistic and has basically a museum in it either all the artists and their respective pieces of art. Great view of mt rainier as well which we didn’t expect. Highly recommend this property."

The Maritime Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the little guest room we stayed in. We had a decent view of the marina, a little fireplace in the room was more than enough to keep it warm. It was clean and quaint. The beds were a little firm for my liking. The room/bathroom were well stocked. The staff was nice. Upon check in we got our room keys and then were told we got a complimentary glass of wine before 9pm. They did offer a small continental breakfast, but we did try it."

Best Western Wesley Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

8/10 Good

"The cozy cottage is the perfect place to stay for 1-2 people when visiting the Ruston area in Tacoma. There’s a small convenience store a couple blocks away with coffee, beers, etc. Wifi on site was fast and easy to connect to (once we did a little troubleshooting). Towels and basic toiletries are provided as well as dishes, a Brita water filter, and Keurig coffee maker. The bed is comfy, but the bedroom does get warm in the summer. There’s a large fan in the bedroom to keep cool. Overall, I would recommend this place of looking for a place to stay in Ruston / Tacoma."

Walk to the waterfront The Hobbit House

10/10 Excellent

"It was quiet and quaint, very homey. The communication from the host was impeccable. We'll be a return guest, for sure!"
