Emerald Queen Hotel and Casino - Tacoma

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

4/10 Poor

"Let me start off by saying it takes a LOT for me to write a bad review. The photos of this hotel are VERY deceiving. It is right by a huge casino which has lots of random people all around the surrounding area. It did not feel safe. There was even a mobile camera unit from a police department in the parking lot. Once we got inside the hotel, it felt safer since there was an armed guard on duty throughout the night. Our room smelled like dirty feet as soon as we walked in. We discovered that it was the carpet that smelled so bad. We also had a bullet hole in our window on the 5th floor! It might have been from a pellet gun but I have photos. The bed was surprisingly comfortable despite the mattress pad under the sheet being a size too small so it was just on top of the mattress instead of fitted around the corners. The breakfast was less than appealing. We are not super picky with hotel breakfasts. Give us some scrambled eggs & a waffle or fruit & we're good. They had biscuits & gravy but were out of biscuits. They only had hard boiled eggs & yogurt- not a fruit in site. Overall, we were super disappointed in just about everything with this stay."

2/10 Terrible

"We arrived to this location to check in. We were promptly told that the AC in the entire facility was broken. And advised that we should not check in because there was no estimated time for the fix and the building was heating up substantially. Since we reserved the room through Expedia, the hotel guaranteed us a full refund upon contacting them. Expedia did contact them and they refused to honor what the front desk told us in person…NO REFUND."

Tacoma Boutique

2/10 Terrible

"My fee should be refunded because: 1) it is now 7:26 pm TWO DAYS after I was to check in, but I have not received the email indicating how to do so. 2) I called the phone number on the email that expedia sent, only to receive a "not in service" message. 3) I spent about two hours chasing around Tacoma that evening trying to find a Wifi connection so I could communicate; I did go by the purported location twice, rang the door bell several times, with no response. I gave up and stayed at a Motel 6. Therefore, despite great effort and stress on my part, the booking was not fulfilled. My credit card company is disputing the charge."

Lovely Tacoma Cottage w/ Fire Pit, Near Dtwn!

6/10 Okay

"The space itself was great. Just as described in the listing. The main reason I rated a 3 is the fact that the shower plumbing was not working. The first night it back up around my ankles. In the morning there was still water in the tub so I contacted the “guest services” information I was given (I believe it’s their local cleaner). The response I received was this was a known issue and they had hoped it would not happen during my stay. They attempted to find a plumber to fix it and were unable to do so. I stayed from Sunday to Wednesday and was not able to use the shower beyond the first night. Hopefully they fix the issue before they rent it again. "
