Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with the hotel’s free hot breakfast buffet. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, you’ll find several local eateries within a short drive. In-room microwaves and fridges come in handy for late-night snacks, and a 24-hour convenience store in the lobby means you’ll never go to bed hungry.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, you’re just a short drive from downtown Puyallup and Auburn, where you’ll find bars, lounges, and late-night spots to keep the party going. Prefer to wind down? The quiet surroundings and comfortable rooms make it easy to do just that.

What People Say

Guests frequently mention the clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location as highlights of their stay. The indoor pool is a bonus, and many travelers praise the hotel’s value for money, especially with the included breakfast and free Wi-Fi.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the area immediately around the hotel is more suburban than scenic, and you'll likely need a car to get to most dining or nightlife options. If you're looking for a buzzing atmosphere, this isn’t a party hotel—but that’s exactly the point for many concert-goers.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, quiet, and comfortable base after a live show, Holiday Inn Express Sumner By IHG hits all the right notes.
