Courtyard by Marriott Tacoma Downtown

This is a great location with plenty to do nearby. A short cab or drive to the Tacoma Dome. For after concert activity I suggest the Swiss Bar and Grill that is easy, safe walking distance and has live music. Great staff at this clean and lovely hotel. If they just had a full service restaurant with room service it would be perfect. Valet had issues due to a large convention ending, but without the convention, it was fine. Friendly staff.

Liked: Fabulous Courtyard; better than most full service Marriott locations; only missing a full restaurant; beautiful spa and fitness center.
Disliked: Valet parking on day one was a mess due to convention ending - took more than 45 minutes after calling ahead 30 minutes prior.

My room was clean and worked great for my needs!

Liked: Staff was friendly and helpful. My car didn't have any dings or scratches that I could see and I used valet parking. The bartender (female middle aged with blond hair) was extremely nice and helpful with the dinner choices as I have celiac and she called down to the chef a few times to make sure that the items in the salad and salad dressing were gluten free.
Disliked: The only thing I noticed was two mornings when I went down to the workout area, the sanitation wipes were out, but I did not pick up the telephone and call.

Clean; comfortable; great service; reception and valet staff and maids offered a high standard of service. Highly recommended and will visit again. Free transit outside hotel to Tacoma Dome and Theatre district.

Liked: Value; location; service.
Disliked: Restaurant wine was over priced.

Not what expected

Liked: Room was horrible, toilet was clogged when we arrived when asked someone to fix it. They told us there was a public restroom downstairs that we could use instead of the toilet was such an issue. the fire alarm kept going off when nothing was in the room. We left a day early.

Good stay. But some easy...

Liked: They gave me an upgrade. So nice.
Disliked: The photos on the Marriott website showed a spa, but it's not longer there. There are also signs on each floor for ice and vending. But only ice is available. The restaurant varied a ton on service. It went from taking 35 minutes for a slice of cheesecake to getting an entire breakfast in 5 minutes. There was also a button on the phone for the restaurant, but nothing that explained if food could be ordered via phone and picked up. Just some lacking guest experience points.The layout of the suite I was upgraded to was bizarre. But it was nice to have the extra space.
