The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tacoma South - Lakewood By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Tacoma's Music Scene

Modern and practical, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tacoma South - Lakewood offers a relaxed stay just under 10 miles from Tacoma’s vibrant downtown and concert venues. With a clean, contemporary style and thoughtful amenities like free WiFi, an indoor pool, and free private parking, it’s a solid home base for music lovers on the move.
Rooms are well-equipped with a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, fridge, and air conditioning—some even include a seating area for added comfort. Whether you're catching a show or just passing through, this hotel balances affordability and comfort with ease.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location-wise, you're a short drive from Tacoma’s top performance spaces, making late-night returns quick and easy. The 24-hour front desk and flexible 12:00 PM check-out mean no stress if your night runs long. It’s also far enough out of the city center to offer a quieter night’s sleep after the encore, yet still close enough for convenience.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space and amenities without blowing the budget
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a cozy weekend out of it
  • Fans needing a peaceful place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests love the free buffet breakfast—perfect after a late night out. Rooms come with a fridge for snacks, and the area boasts several walkable dining options for a post-show bite. Late-night food runs are easy with nearby fast food and delivery options.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or a bar, it’s close to several Tacoma nightspots and lounges. You’re never far from a local taproom or chill hangout to keep the night going post-concert.

What People Say

Guests praise the hotel’s clean rooms, friendly staff, and reliable WiFi. The indoor pool is a hit with travelers looking to unwind. Many reviewers mention how convenient the location is for shows, and that the free parking is a huge plus.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the hotel is comfortable, it doesn’t offer much in terms of nightlife or dining on-site. Others mention that the surrounding area is more suburban, so a car or rideshare app is helpful if you're heading out late.

The Bottom Line

A clean, convenient, and budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want to stay just outside the buzz—but close enough to catch every beat.

Meh

Liked: Check in was easy
Disliked: Free breakfast included if you're able to fight off the mobs that descend on the area like it's their first meal after awakening from a coma... My autistic child was better behaved than bebe kids next door... Bed was extremely soft and unsupportive wrecked my back

Comfy stay with good food...

Liked: The beds were very comfy and appreciated the Dove soap products they offered. This was also probably the best continental breakfast I have had at a hotel. Staff was very friendly.
Disliked: The pool was cold. I-5 is nearby and kind of loud, but using a fan or a white noise machine (which they offer for free!) makes that no problem.
