My room was disgusting there’s stains on the carpets and curtains and the tv is basically one sneeze away from flying off the wall. Super expensive for the quality of a motel 6.

Everything about the room was wonderful, staff was so kind, they even got me ice from kitchen since no fridge in room. Very convenient location, free parking on street in front. Only drawback was rubbish on sidewalk left by unhoused, I was worried about my car being broken into, & steps out front are uneven, perhaps painting the edge white would help prevent tripping. Coffee in lobby, pet friendly, breakfast-in-bed were all nice touches. No room service, but easy enough to pick-up food from restaurant within building. I loved seeing the little garden out my window as well

A Magical Hotel Experience
This was a wonderful place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! Between the amazing food and atmosphere, and the comfort and high level of care, I couldn’t have imagined us staying anywhere else. The history and mystique of the Elks Temple was interesting and it’s just a fun place to explore. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you’re ever in Tacoma.

We lived in Tacoma for many years, and watched this lovely old building slowly deteriorate. After 10 years away, we were delighted to see that the McMenamin Brothers have brought it back to life. It is simply beautiful with unique features. Our room was lovely. We did not eat there, so can’t comment on the food.

Overall great style and fun ambience. Staff is welcoming with good customer service. Rooms need updating and are way overpriced in their current condition. Ear plugs would be a nice, and inexpensive, addition to the rooms given noise level.

We were so hopeful for a great stay. The bed was very uncomfortable and the foot was way higher than the head of the bed. Small gnats in the room.
