Categories

Cleanliness
7
Multiple guests repeatedly mention rooms as clean and well maintained ("los cuartos bien limpios", "really clean"). One guest reported a toilet malfunction but overall room cleanliness is positive.
Service
5
Mixed reports: staff described as very friendly and helpful in several reviews, but there are clear service failures (no answer to calls about barking dog, limited front desk assistance when problems occurred).
Location
8.5
Consistently praised for proximity to the Tacoma Dome and convenience for events and local plans; location described as 'absolutely perfect' and 'very convenient.'
Room Quality
5
Rooms noted as comfy with comfortable beds, but several guests reported problems (toilet stopped flushing, temperature issues, food left in fridge, missing TV remote, variable water pressure).
Amenities
4.5
Elevator outages are a major recurring issue (many guests had to use stairs), laundry area lacked seating, but secure enclosed parking is a positive. Elevator reliability significantly drags this score down.
Value for Money
5
Several guests felt the stay was not worth the price paid given the disruptions (elevator outages, noise, maintenance issues); others accepted it for convenience to events.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast repeatedly described positively across reviews ("Good breakfast", "really good breakfast", "very ordentliches Frühstück"). Food & beverage is a clear strength for many guests.
Overall Experience
4.5
Overall mixed-to-negative: while some guests enjoyed clean rooms, good breakfast, and location, several experienced significant issues (elevator out, noisy neighbors/dog, unresolved maintenance, poor responses from staff) that led to a disappointing stay.

Great place to stay, especially if business at the Dome.
Pros:

We went for a concert at the Tacoma Dome. It’s the perfect place to stay.
A close walk.
Garage for car. No cost.

Cons:

Only 2 elevators. One was down and the other one went down just before we were leaving for the concert.
Long waits for the elevator.

Be prepared to call 911 from inside an elevator or hunt for the stairs through a giant mess of junk
Pros:

The actual room was clean. Staff was nice enough.

Cons:

Arrived with my mother who is in a wheelchair. Tried to take the elevator up to the third floor where they put us and someone got stuck in it right before we got on. They had mentioned having issues and the other elevator was not working at all. So I had to help my mother up the stairs to the lobby and then go back and lift the wheelchair all the way up them. Then asked to be put in a ground floor room and couldn't so had to help her up three more flights of stairs and then come back for the chair which is not light weight. All of this while trying to get ready to attend a concert at the dome. If you are going for a concert it's a good location. But the construction mess between the lobby and the stairs and the elevator issue were very unpleasant. They're lucky my mom can kind of get around without the chair or we'd have had to go somewhere else or drive the two and a half hours home after the concert with no notice because their ADA tools are NOT UP TO CODE.

I would stay at this location again only if the environment outside of the property improves
Pros:

Staff were great. Room and facilities were clean and comfortable. Parking was convenient and easy.

Cons:

Location is right across from a drug rehab/mental health clinic so I didn't feel safe walking around the outside of the property with the types of people hanging around the area.

Call this property to confirm that the elevator is working or not?
Pros:

Good breakfast. The room was clean and well maintained.

Cons:

Elevator didn’t work. They don’t bring that to your attention prior to you arriving so you have no opportunity to cancel and rebook somewhere. You have to deal with everything right then in there. Not a good policy not a good practice. Actually quite non-ethical.

Cons:

Having to climb stairs because of broken elevators. Finding a raw, in shell, egg in the ice bucket. Temperature in room was hit and miss.

Had a terrible stay
Pros:

The room itself felt clean and the bed was comfortable enough. There's enclosed parking that feels more safe than open street parking especially since the area feels very sketchy

Cons:

The area is sketchy, when we arrived to the hotel they informed us the elevators were down. We signed an agreement that we understand but we didn't realize just how much of a hassle this would be ontop of our lousy stay. The whole bottom floor was under construction which you have to walk through to access the stairway. We were put on floor 3. The room itself feels more out together then the ground for, but upon our stay at night, the toilet stopped flushing, even after messing with the inside it didn't work. It was too late for us to want a repair person in the room so we went to bed, excited for our only day that weekend to sleep in.
But we couldn't.
At 6am a dog in a room somewhere next door incisintly began to bark. We gave them 10-15 minutes to stop But they would not, so we called front desk
No one picked up. For the next hour the dog barked nonstop and we called front desk two more times. Still no one picked up.

We were upset we couldn't sleep, but at this point we were up, so we decided to check out and get out of this hotel. We checked out of front desk and told them of our problems and the lady said that she's sorry and that the calls must have happened before her shift started and the other guy was busy.
She just said thar ask she could have done for us was move our rooms. At 7am in the morning and needing to check us out so soon, it's a bogus offer considering we'd be better leaving, so we did so.

It all around was a messy experience that i'm upset I payed full price for. That was not the quality of experience that was worth that much money, and I fully regret choosing this hotel.
Honestly, it makes me want to give up on the Best Western Chain.

Für Durchreisen gerne wieder
Pros:

Einfache Erreichbarkeit, sichere Parkplätze in der Tiefgarage, für amerikanische Verhältnisse ein sehr ordentliches Frühstück.
Dass es zu unserer Aufenthaltszeit eine Störung am Aufzug gab ist rechtzeitig und ganz klar kommuniziert worden. wir hätten auch umbuchen können, aber das hat uns für eine Nacht nicht gestört.
