What guests think

At Emerald Queen Hotel and Casino - Tacoma, guests often praise clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, secure free parking, and convenience for Tacoma Dome events, while noting smoke from the casino and a layout that can feel confusing.

Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, though a few guests mention firm pillows, weak shower pressure, hallway noise, or occasional AC and lighting issues. Facilities feedback is mixed: people like the gym, security, and rooftop bar, but the pool is small or closed at times, elevator/security-screen logistics slow movement, and many miss in-room microwaves. Dining draws praise for the steakhouse and cafe, yet breakfast and room service feel limited or slow, prices can run high, and families may struggle because most options sit inside the age-restricted, smoky casino. Expect a clean, convenient casino hotel with lively energy and some trade-offs.

You have to take an elevator to get off and get on another elevator to get to your room. The pool is tiny. It is right on off the freeway .. our view from floor 9 was of a neighborhood lol

Really great hotel in an easy location. Free secure parking (security on duty). Reception staff super helpful. I did find it off putting that everything (almost) was in the casino (restaurants, bars etc) with people smoking it wasn’t nice. I did find the rooftop bar which offers fantastic food, service and views. Will definitely stay again. I also won $50 on roulette which always helps.

Overall, my experience was wonderful. The hotel clerk who checked me in set the tone with excellent service, and the dining experience at both the café and restaurant was just as enjoyable. The rooms were very clean, and parking was easy to access. I also appreciated the visible security throughout the property, including in the parking garage—it made me feel safe as a woman arriving late at night.

The room was spacious and clean. Nice big bathroom. The bed pillows were very lumpy and hard. I wish there were microwaves because I have dietary restrictions that make it challenging in restaurants so being able to heat a meal in the room would have been helpful. No tea in the room, just a coffee Kcup. I was disappointed coming off the elevator from the parking garage, that a wall of cigarette smoke hits you from the casino. We were there for a show in the event center and found it bothersome that you have to walk through the smoking section of the casino to find the event center entrance. The event center itself was nice(somewhat small) and any staff we encountered there were lovely. We enjoyed a couple of tasty cocktails on the rooftop bar and watched the sunset. It was a decent enough stay (would repeat if there was another show I want to see) but otherwise I won't seek out staying again.

I gave this hotel a 3 stars because night 1 was horrible and there was no option for a zero star. Our air conditioner was not working and it was like a sauna in our room. When we reported this they offered us a box fan saying there were no other rooms lol. I abruptly said no. We were soon offered another room for night 2. This ruined our entire morning. We had to wait for maintenance to try and fix it while trying to get ready to leave for a concert. I believe it was 11:30 before we were moved. The fact that this is a casino ($$$) I think they can do better.

It was just “ok”. The water pressure in the shower was nonexistent, the lights in the room worked at night but not in the morning so we had to get ready in basically the dark… the bathroom light was the only working light in the morning. We checked out and were charged twice for the room so I had to call and have them fix it. Probably won’t be back. The beds were decent/comfortable and that was the only saving grace.

As soon as I tried to find the menu it wasn’t available, and then find out that there is no room service at all. When you out in the casino and you need to build something to your room, they have to go to a phone and call the front desk and wait for someone to verify you stay there even though you have an ID and key. It was all around Terrible.

Checking in Raylene, the Front Desk clerk couldn't find our reservation. I showed her our confirmation from Hotels com. She said we would need to call Hotels.com because that was not their confirmation number. Finally, a manager came by and said she would help us. She took the time to find out that the reservation was under the name of someone in our party. This was because when I made the reservation they wanted the names of everyone in the room. Well, I rented two rooms and whose name I put in first is who the reservation was listed under.

Stayed for one night as my daughter and her friend were going to a concert at Tacoma Dome. Excellent place to stay if attending a show, minutes from Tacoma Dome with easy access to venue! had a great stay even won a bit of money while waiting to pick up my daughter after concert. Only negative was I was told at the front desk of hotel My daughters could not go to any restaurant in casino as they were not 21. I had to get dinner to-go and go back to the hotel. WE also tried to order room service instead of getting items to-go but after 4 attempts and no answer to-go option was the best.

DO NOT!! stay at this hotel if you have children with you. It is not child friendly. The restaurants are in the casino so they cant eat in any of them. The taxi driver accidentally dropped us off at the casino entrance instead of the hotel and there is no other option but to walk all around the building and across the street and down a road to get into the hotel. We were forced to walk this at 12:30am. In the morning my son couldn't get breakfast because again all restaurants are in the casino. Ridiculous!! We had to walk all the way around again to leave. We were told they could escort us through but that then changed to NO we had to walk all around the world again. I think if you allow kids to stay inyour facilities then you should make it so they have access to things like food. Unacceptable!!!
