Tacoma Hotels with Swimming Pools

Very nice place to stay. Lots of stuff to see within walking distance. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice view from room.

I want to thank Kayla Wilkins and her staff at the La Quinta Inn in Tacoma for the great time we had. Kayla directed us to Jill in Catering and Lori for room reservations. The staff was friendly, caring, and helped in so many ways with all of our needs We had great food, and had so much fun in the ballroom for dancing . i

The remodel turned out good. However, they removed the closets. there is no place to hang your clothes. The staff was very kind and accommodated my various needs. they were appreciated!

We spent the night because we were visiting the University of Puget Sound, and it was a convenient location. The room fit our needs, but I don’t think I could stay for more than one night. It’s really basic here - including their restaurant. Dinner menu was the typical pizza and stuff, and breakfast was stuff that they thawed out and heated. One easy thing they could do is require a dress code at their restaurant, because frankly restaurant employees wearing T-shirts just doesn’t seem professional. The room itself was ok - bed, basic flat screen TV, small but functioning bathroom with a shower curtain. The shower water seeped to the bathroom floor with water, but easy enough to wipe up… Just not excited about this place.

People were helpful. Wasn't bothered at all. It was a peaceful couple days

Hotel was nice. Clean large room. Appeared to be recently remodeled. Good hot breakfast. Plenty of parking. Downsides: Sketchy part of town. We were on second floor and could hear all the noise from the pool. Thankfully it closed at 10 each night. No car chargers. If we were in tacoma again we would probably stay here again. One of the cleaner nicer hotels at this mid range price (200-300/night with taxes and fees)

Let me start by saying I’m going into this review a little miffed. In my 40+ years of traveling, I’ve never had a hotel or motel tell me I can’t use my reward points. But in this case, I was told the points can only be used for “Standard Rooms” and all their standard rooms were booked. So I went ahead and paid for a … non-standard room???. Well, I got to my room and guess what - it was just a standard motel room. There was absolutely nothing special or deficient with this room. With that said and out of the way, here are the positive aspects of my stay. The facility is somewhat new and it was clean (the bleach smell hung heavy in the air). The staff was courteous, but not necessarily friendly. The bed was medium firm and there were plenty of pillows. The free breakfast was pretty good. Within 150 feet from the hotel there were two restaurant … the food at the Pho restaurant was really good. Now for some downsides … (1) for all you light sleepers, this was a noisy motel. Even though we were in a room on the backside of the motel facing an empty lot, we could still hear the nearby traffic noise. Additionally, we could hear guests talking in their room and hallway. We could also hear the footsteps from the floor above us. (2) this motel is located in a not so nice location of Tacoma … they even lock the front lobby doors after certain hours, so you need to use your room key card to enter the lobby and to operate the elevator. Connected to the noise issue … I did hear a couple of gun shots at about 3 AM.
