The Spotlight on Silver Cloud Inn-Tacoma Waterfront

Scenic Comfort Just Minutes from Tacoma’s Music Scene

Modern and tranquil, the Silver Cloud Inn-Tacoma Waterfront sits right on the shores of Commencement Bay. With oversized windows and bright, airy rooms offering sweeping waterfront views, this hotel combines coastal calm with Tacoma charm. Each room comes with a 55-inch plasma TV, microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker, making it easy to relax before or after a show.
Guests also enjoy free Wi-Fi, a local shuttle service, and a peaceful setting just a few miles from downtown concert venues and cultural spots like the Museum of Glass.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet waterfront setting—a welcome contrast after a loud night out. The hotel is just under 3 miles from downtown venues, with a convenient local shuttle service that helps you skip the parking hassle. With a late 12:00 PM checkout, you can sleep in after the encore. The setting is peaceful, perfect for decompressing post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want scenic vibes and space to chill
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist and craving a quiet retreat
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of their concert night
  • Fans who want to wind down by the water after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant, each room has a microwave and fridge, great for late-night bites. The area along Ruston Way offers walkable dining options ranging from casual to upscale. Breakfast is available, ideal for sleeping in and still grabbing a bite before checkout.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t have a bar or live music space, it’s close to downtown Tacoma’s nightlife—bars, lounges, and waterfront spots are just a short ride or shuttle away. You can enjoy the buzz of the city and return to a quiet, restful room.

What People Say

Travelers rave about the bay views, quiet atmosphere, and the friendly staff. Many highlight the hotel’s cleanliness and how relaxing it feels after a long evening out. The local shuttle is often mentioned as a bonus for getting around without relying on rideshares.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the lack of on-site dining or bar can be a drawback, especially late at night. Others mention that while the setting is peaceful, it’s a bit removed from the city buzz—though that’s a plus for many looking to relax.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Tacoma and want a scenic, quiet place to recharge after the show, Silver Cloud Inn-Tacoma Waterfront hits all the right notes.

Nice stay and good location

Liked: Breakfast was nice to have for patrons. I would of loved to have the window open more for the fresh air circulation. (I live in MN and we have had smoke coming from Canada). I would have liked a room on the waterfront. The only thing was the train going back and forth. It would have been nice to have a fan to drown out the sounds of the horn blasting from the train. The bed was really comfortable.
Disliked: see above -the train
