Best Western Plus Downtown Tacoma

2/10 Terrible

"We arrived to this location to check in. We were promptly told that the AC in the entire facility was broken. And advised that we should not check in because there was no estimated time for the fix and the building was heating up substantially. Since we reserved the room through Expedia, the hotel guaranteed us a full refund upon contacting them. Expedia did contact them and they refused to honor what the front desk told us in person…NO REFUND."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

2/10 Terrible

"My flight was delayed. I contacted the property to notify them that I would not arrive until 1/2am. I was told a note would be made on my account and check-in at the desk. When I arrived to check-in, I informed the woman that there is a note on my account that I would be late to check-in. They woman asked me 5 times what time did I check-in. Then she couldn’t find my reservation. When she found it, she claimed no notes were on the reservation. It took 20 mins just to get through check-in. That same morning I came downstairs and asked for house keeping to come clean the hotel room. I was told they would. I came back later that day. Housekeeping never came. Everyday I was there I asked for them to come clean the room and they did not. The hallways on the floor we were on smelled like poop the entire time of the stay. I’m complained about the smell. I was told someone would look into it. Nothing was done. I would never stay here again."

Courtyard by Marriott Tacoma Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"I travel alot and this was by far, the worst accomodation I have had (for the cost) Check in: no problem there, normal stuff...BUT the room we were given was absolutely gross! Hair in the bathroom (sink, floor, toilet) carpet bunched up and DIRTY!, kick plate around the beds were filthy, the window was so sun damaged that it was opaque and you could only see thru parts of it. Nicks, scrapes and gouges in the wood work..etc..Needless to say, we requested another room. 2nd room was cleaner, but the tub was worn out with stains all over it, the sink basin was the smallest I've ever seen!, and wood work was still beat up, over all, the room was in need of a facelift! I paid for a deluxe suite, what I got was a large room with 2 queens and a worn out hide a bed. We requested a wake up call...didn't happen! Luckily my phone alarm worked! Wanted the free coffee to find out the only coffee "free" was the room "pods" (the absolute worst truck stop style!) (altho the staff did begrudgingly make me a espresso .it wasn't because he wanted to!..I just whined alot) All coffee except room pods co$t. There are no free amenities! There was only one bottle of water in the room and it was $6. I thought we were to get free breakfast, but despite paying nearly $350 a night for the room, we were informed that we hadn't purchased the correct package. A Manhatten and a "mule" cost $37. NO views! I really would prefer to have my money back. It was a horrible place to stay."

Tacoma Boutique

2/10 Terrible

"My fee should be refunded because: 1) it is now 7:26 pm TWO DAYS after I was to check in, but I have not received the email indicating how to do so. 2) I called the phone number on the email that expedia sent, only to receive a "not in service" message. 3) I spent about two hours chasing around Tacoma that evening trying to find a Wifi connection so I could communicate; I did go by the purported location twice, rang the door bell several times, with no response. I gave up and stayed at a Motel 6. Therefore, despite great effort and stress on my part, the booking was not fulfilled. My credit card company is disputing the charge."
