Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property and hotel. Super cute."

Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a bit further from downtown but it was nice as it was quieter. Rooms were clean and staff was so helpful and nice in all occasions. Nice to have a secured parking lot."

Marriott Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Emerald Queen Hotel and Casino - Tacoma

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Never used the amenities like pool and gym. Only frustrating thing is if you buy a drink at the “store” at the front desk, you can’t take it into the casino, which is literally 10 steps away and they can fully see you the entire time. Same thing leaving. No other hotel/casino I’ve ever been at has been this way. Even security staff complained about it."

Modern Elegance in the Heart of Downtown Tacoma | King Bed + Parking + AC

10/10 Excellent

"ADORED every single thing about this property! From the stunning, snow-capped peak (mountain view) out the building front door to the perfect bed and ideal shower pressure…it was divine. For a downtown CITY stay, it was surprisingly quiet! The parking spot made the whole trip a breeze with no worries, as did the dishwasher and the private washer/dryer. Everything was spacious and SO CLEAN. Met a few friendly neighbors and (sadly, only once) the absolutely gorgeous cat Merlin, next door…looked liked an exotic type, with a very friendly owner. LOVED the 2-taco plate at the fun Red Star restaurant located so conveniently right on the ground floor of the building. And the location was exquisitely perfect. I fall in love with Tacoma a little more each visit, and given a choice, I’d ALWAYS want to stay at one of Jenell’s gems of properties. Feel so lucky to know about Corporate Condo Collection!"

The Downtown Hobbit Hole

8/10 Good

"The location was great! The property was very clean and communication with the host was great also."
