The Spotlight on Niwas Inn

Comfortable, budget-friendly stay just outside Tacoma

Niwas Inn is a casual, no-frills hotel located in Fife, WA—just outside the Tacoma area and offering easy access to both downtown Tacoma and Seattle. With clean, air-conditioned rooms and a 24-hour front desk, this 3-star hotel is a practical and affordable base for concert-goers headed to venues like the Tacoma Dome or clubs in Seattle.

Guests enjoy free WiFi, a simple continental breakfast, and access to a fun on-site casino. Rooms include private bathrooms, TVs, desks, and free toiletries—everything you need for a quick weekend trip or overnight music retreat.

Why Concert-goers love it

Niwas Inn hits a sweet spot for fans who want to be close to the action without paying downtown prices. It’s less than 5 miles from the Museum of Glass and Tacoma’s main event spaces, while only about a 30-minute drive from Seattle’s legendary venues. The location is far enough from the city bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet after a loud night out. The 24-hour front desk is a major perk for late-night check-ins after encore encores.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends splitting a room and saving cash
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert experience
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans needing downtime after a big show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who want value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

  • Continental breakfast served daily—perfect after a late night
  • Snack bar available for quick bites on-site
  • Several casual dining spots and fast food chains within walking or short driving distance

Nightlife Options

  • On-site casino for post-show fun without leaving the hotel
  • Short drive to Tacoma’s bars and lounges
  • Easy access to Seattle’s vibrant nightlife for those wanting to go big

What People Say

Guests often highlight the clean rooms, affordable rates, and the friendly staff who go the extra mile. Travelers appreciate the free parking and WiFi, and many mention that the beds are surprisingly comfortable for the price.

Areas for Improvement

Some past guests have noted that the hotel is a bit basic and the surrounding area isn’t the most scenic. A few mention occasional noise from nearby roads, but overall agree that it’s a solid choice for the price.

The Bottom Line

Niwas Inn is an ideal pick for concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, no-hassle stay with easy access to music venues in both Tacoma and Seattle.

Bad customer service

Liked: The room seemed decently clean, and most staff were respectful and kind.
Disliked: One staff member (Eduardo) was not willing to fix a clogged toilet that was clogged when we got there. He handed me a plunger and said, "I don't do toilets," and accused us of damaging the toilet after only being there for an hour. He said the room was fine before we got there, despite the obvious water damage to the floor and bathroom door frame. Tiles were also very loose and raised. He kept hanging up on me when I called and wining at us about doing his job.

Took my money and didn't...

Liked: It was clean and very nice!
Disliked: I didn't actually stay I wasn't even in the room more than an hour. I still got charged and my deposit taken from me.. The security guard was disrespectful and was talking to me crazy, the guy at the front desk didn't say anything about deposits or fees when I checked in
