McMenamins Elk Temple

This is one of the most unique hotel experiences I’ve had. I love staying here! The bars and restaurants offer a great variety of food and interesting drinks. The staff is friendly and quite helpful.

A unique experience, like staying inside a museum.

Love the charm and whimsy of McMenamins. Multiple bars and restaurants. Entertainment galore.

Such a fun place to visit. Clean rooms, great food, and lots of cool art

Decided to stay for one night on a recent trip to a Tacoma, just for the fun of it. And it was fun! Great location for walking around, and of course they have all sorts of bars and restaurants on site. The front desk staff was fantastic, as were the bar staff. Can’t say that I would want to stay there more than one night. The room was dark and felt kind of like staying in a basement. Bed was super comfortable though! Overall a good experience

Loved the location! The neighborhood has very interesting restaurants and shops. Easy walk to convention center. Great breakfast and coffee! Parking was a little confusing especially overnight. Staff was great in assisting the parking game. No coffee in room so you have to navigate to the lobby or restaurant.

Such a weird experience, but absolutely fantastic. For travellers in the Pacific Northwest get a passport and go to all of the McMennamin’s in the area! I wish San Francisco had one.

Absolutely everything. A little hard to navigate at first, but that’s part of the beauty of it.

Staff was amazing…room was clean, cozy with whimsical decor. Bed was super comfy. Had an amazing breakfast in the lobby restaurant. Was in the perfect location to walk the glass bridge and visit the glass museum. Lemay car museum super close as well.

Unique eclectic environment. Great food and staff. Rooms basic, no counter in bathroom, no microwave or frig. Complimentary morning coffee in lobby.

Great variety of food and drink each of the 5 restaurants and bars are fun, distinctive and creatively designed. A big Adventure all in one building!

Exceptional

This property is huge. It would take more than ten days to see every detail and you’d still miss something. Four different themed eating establishments each on a different floor. My room was huge. Big heavy red velvet drapes over the large picture window with a partial view of the water. The king size bed was so dang comfy. I slept wonderfully. I got to the property too early so I lounged in the lobby lounge reading the current newspaper. The shower stall was just too claustrophobic. And there was no mini fridge.

Clean rooms, fantastic bars, great atmosphere

Stay was great, probably one of the better located hotels in Tacoma
