The room could have used a few more electrical outlets (phone, CPAP, etc.).

The bed was not comfortable for myself or my wife. It was VERY firm. If you like that, then you'll probably love it. I, however, slept terribly. I know it's subjective, though. I tried not to ding them for it too much in my review.

It was eclectic and cool. It made me WANT to explore the whole hotel, which we did. I only wish we would have arrived earlier to enjoy more of what they had to offer. You're always going to have a unique experience at a McMenamins property that you won't soon forget.

The band at the Spanish Ballroom was way overpriced for the quality, should have been free.

Fantastic location, eclectic design, numerous food and bar options, live music, a very comfortable and quiet room, and great value.

Only thing I can complain about is no coffee in room.

Love this hotel, with it's many bars. Very comfy!

The only small draw back were the pillows-they were small and too poofy so they flattened out quickly. Had to double up. That’s the only thing!

Fantastic quirky stay! Hotel rooms are nice, we had a private bath attached. Really fun decor! Such a fun place to explore-food and drink options seem endless! Staff is very nice and friendly, quick response to the customer.

The employees in the restaurant were a wee bit grumpy in the morning

We love the McMenamins properties. Always quirky and interesting.

Our second stay and it was wonderful and fun. Had dinner and drinks both delicious. Perfect location to the hospital and most major events in downtown Tacoma.

We had a staycation. We live in Tacoma and had tickets to The Pantages so we decided to stay the night. We love the hotel. We visit for food and drinks even when we aren't staying the night.

This is an amazing building! We will be back just to explore the building some more. Our room was small but cozy and plenty clean. The staff were all super friendly. Downtown is very walkable from here. And there are four or five bars and restaurants in the building itself, so you don't have to go far for anything. We will definitely be back.

Hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the property made great suggestions for food and entertainment around the hotel itself. Was an absolutely fantastic experience.

Poor communication between front desk and dining area when trying to confirm meals. Slow internet.

Beautifully renovated classic building. Comfortable bed, nice location and included copy of local newspaper which is rare these days.

The decor was wonderful and quirky. It was a visual feast. The staff was very helpful.

As someone who crashes early, the show going on downstairs was a little loud, but not a deal breaker. Everything else was perfect.

This is a fun place with great service and great food. I recommend the Jr.'s Jumbo Deluxe with a side of Cajun Tots for lunch or dinner and the Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast. Parking could be a challenge, but I was very fortunate.

The Elks Temple is a fascinating hotel renovated with style. The rooms and common areas are exquisitely decorated and the view from the hotel is amazing. it is a perfect location for visiting the Tacoma Museum of Glass and the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. When we were disappointed that our room was lacking a fridge, they immediately provided a portable one. Great service!

I liked it all!

Loved the access to restaurants and bars-one on every floor. The room was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and very professional!

I love the fact that it’s dog friendly, but it was very difficult to find a place to walk the dogs where they could safely potty. The neighborhood is a bit rough. Most of the unpaved areas around the property aren’t safe for dogs. Many were untended with weeds and trash, including broken glass. Even the manicured beds had broken glass, bits of trash and occasionally drug paraphernalia.

Almost everything.

I love everything about this property. It’s fun, the food is great, the staff are always friendly and helpful. It’s close to everything in Tacoma. Antique row is a very short walk. Free parking on the street.
