We only stayed one night because we were in town for a concert, so we didn’t utilize all the amenities this place has to offer. The food at the ground floor bar/restaurant was good but service was slow - friendly staff though. I would return to stay if I ever visit Tacoma again and would like to check out all the bars!

McMenamins Elks Temple, Tacoma: 2nd Stay

Having had my second stay here, I can state that my first excellent experience was not a fluke. It's a great place to stay. I attended a metal show at the Temple Theatre, and that was just a short walk away.
The bed in my room. The headboard in each room is painted differently.
