Building is very new. Rooms, halls, lobby all look and feel brand new and very clean. Staff were awesome, appreciated the gated secure parking as well for only $15 per night. Be aware the ENTIRE surrounding area is under heavy construction - streets are closed off and being repaved, construction fencing, rubble etc. However there are 3-4 cool pubs and cideries within walking distance so we took advantage of that.

Overnight stay for a concert. Bed was comfortable and water was hot for showering. Ecofriendly bottled hand soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo. No toothbrush or toothpaste. Nottled water is free for HH members otherwise its $3/bottle. Lobby has a little convenience store stocked with snacks and bottled drinks. Elevator was slow especially during high traffic times. Would stay here again.

You can awkwardly seat yourself in this empty area and order, one employee will cook and serve, it was weird, I just got a bagel to go. Other then that, it was a great stay.

Overpriced for what you get. Nothing is included in the room rate—breakfast and parking ($15/day) cost extra. The parking garage has leaky, duct-taped pipes, and noise is a major issue, especially from nearby train tracks and loud plumbing. The front desk staff was unfriendly, and there's a $50 incidental fee charged upfront, which takes 3–4 business days to be refunded. Overall, a disappointing and noisy stay.

When we arrived, there was only one person working. This was at 3pm, which is check-in time. The person working was on the phone, and did not acknowledge us for 10 mins while we stood there right in front of them. Everything else was fine after that, but this is a good indication of poor hotel management, so be cautious.

I was told my $10 daily food and beverage was still valid even though I booked through Expedia by TWO different folks. To my surprise, I got billed for the food hours after checking out and told I couldn’t be refunded and there was nothing they could do. I would not recommend this location to anyone as they lie blatantly to your face and don’t own up to it.

There is a fee for parking which was stated in the description. Only downpart was the homeless people around the area. Close to the downtown area but can be sketchy at night. I would recommend this hotel for travelers. Good service and location is very convenient.

I would have stayed here again. But the experience was influenced by a fire alarm at 7:30 in the morning and continual lights and alarms though out the morning robbing us of sleep and keeping us on high alert. But the location was very convenient for our walk to the Tacoma Dome for a show and the staff was friendly and hotel parking was very affordable.

About a 20 min walk to Tacoma Dome, although I would not walk that alone. That route passes under some over passes and there are homeless people hanging out. We really enjoyed our stay.

There were hidden costs for everything. Parking? $20 Breakfast? Hotels.com said it has a complementary breakfast, they do not. Breakfast was a minimum of $10 for a minuscule cup of Greek yogurt with berries, honey, and granola. There were ZERO celiac friendly options outside of the yogurt minus the granola. While a cereal laden complimentary breakfast might seem cheap, at least there’s normally celiac friendly options. The WATER BOTTLES in the suite cost extra. I will never say at another Hilton.

Great little convenience area . Great front desk and maid service. Simple and efficient check in and out. If you are going to charge for bottled water in the rooms, have an option for filling personal water bottles in a common area. The breakfast was not great, even if it had been included. And certainly not for the price .

Rooms were clean and good location. However, you leave feeling nickel and dimed. Only breakfast option is mediocre food with a $20+ price tag. Per day parking fee, which I’m generally not opposed to but it just felt like nothing was included in your stay. You couldn’t even get decent wifi without paying for “premium” internet. Standard WiFi was awful. I’ve stayed here when it was a holiday inn without issues, but I probably wouldn’t stay here again. Not worth the price.
