Great stayhighly recommend

We had a great overnight stay. Just one night while I picked my truck up from the port. My wife met me there and since she was not on the reservation they would not let her check in without me. I was on a plane and unavailable so she had to wait for me. Little hands maid tale if you ask me. When I did get there the nice gentleman who checked me in had upgraded us to a balcony room and we had a great stay. Not our first mcminimums property stay and we had great food and drinks. Staff was great and room was fun. Comfy bed. I would highly recommend this property.

McMenimans Rock!

What an amazing hotel! Built in 1916 as an elks temple. Paintings and chandeliers and several gorgeous bars. Rooms small, but very clean and comfortable. Only complaint: rooms on 6th floor are interior and do not have windows to the outside.

A Magical Hotel Experience

This was a wonderful place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! Between the amazing food and atmosphere, and the comfort and high level of care, I couldn’t have imagined us staying anywhere else. The history and mystique of the Elks Temple was interesting and it’s just a fun place to explore. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you’re ever in Tacoma.

McMenamins is enchanting!! it's lovely and just a walks distance from a lovely downtown area with cool vintage shops. However, as with many downtowns there are some evidence of homelessness and a couple abandoned buildings that lack proper up keep.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They have no parking and we had to park on the street and our car was broken into and our cruise-luggage was stolen. We had to cancel our cruise and have the car repaired. The main reason that we did not bring in our cruise-luggage was that we were on a floor that did not have an elevator and we had to haul our overnight stuff up and down stairs. NEVER STAY HERE.
Kathy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’ve been to McMenamen’s many times, but this is the first time staying at the hotel. I love the atmosphere, food and of course my personal favorite is their cocktails. The room itself was fun and eclectic which my teen loved.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room was disgusting there’s stains on the carpets and curtains and the tv is basically one sneeze away from flying off the wall. Super expensive for the quality of a motel 6.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We lived in Tacoma for many years, and watched this lovely old building slowly deteriorate. After 10 years away, we were delighted to see that the McMenamin Brothers have brought it back to life. It is simply beautiful with unique features. Our room was lovely. We did not eat there, so can’t comment on the food.
Marcia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Elks Temple like other McMenamin properties is a unique building with clever spaces even a secret bar we couldn’t find the first time. The lighting is dark and moody inside. The restaurants are staffed very well. Parking is street only and free parking is limited. The area around is urban and walkable for dining. The view of the bay is top notch.
Noemi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We were so hopeful for a great stay. The bed was very uncomfortable and the foot was way higher than the head of the bed. Small gnats in the room.
