I wholeheartedly recommend the Red Lion Tacoma. We were recently allowed to choose our accommodations in Tacoma and went on walkthroughs through several local Tacoma hotels. The decision to go with the Red Lion Tacoma was unanimous! The other hotels in the same vicinity are closely clumped together and we were concerned about the safety of our vehicles. The location...

The bed was soft and the sheets crummy and the breakfast was cold only except for the waffle iron. Service was fine but I think that I will stick with the... More

Fair conditions. The vent over the shower was not positioned in place. When the vent fan was turned on the bathroom smelled like cigarette smoke. There was a potato chip on the floor near the side table, and I did not have chips in my room.

I stayed at Red Lion Hotel Tacoma for a business trip last December. The location was very nice, very easy access on and off freeway. When you first walk in, the lobby is very inviting and well furnished. The front desk staff were very friendly and nice. The service overall during my stay was great. I enjoyed the stay overall....

All 3 were great ways to be woken up too early and we had one of each per day. Do some... More
