The INN at Gig Harbor

The INN at Gig Harbor

8/10 Good
"Nice quiet retreat area and rooms are lovely. There is a bar next door that has live music on the weekends, quite loud--but they did end early. Be aware if you have a "do not disturb" sign in the morning, your room will not be cleaned later. The breakfast is nothing to get excited about. Overall a nice stay."

"The staff was great. Hotel was clean and very conveniently located for our stay. Breakfast was just okay. It won’t knock your socks off. Travelocity says daily housekeeping however it is not and needs to be requested. Would stay here again"

10/10 Excellent
"The people at the front desk were so helpful and friendly! The restaurant serves burgers and wings, and there’s also a bar that mostly serves beer. Breakfast was really good, although it isn’t included with the stay. The gym was nice, and even though I didn’t get a chance to use the pool or jacuzzi, they both looked great. I would definitely stay here again. The staff really made the experience—they were that nice and welcoming!"
