Fridges in every room also make it easy to stash leftovers for the next day.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no on-site live music, the hotel bar is a laid-back spot for a drink before or after a show. Downtown Tacoma is just a short ride away, where you’ll find craft cocktail lounges, breweries, and live music venues. It’s a great setup for catching local acts or keeping the night going.
