Beautiful, unique property to stay at. Love all the bars and restaurant options within the hotel. Some place everyone should try at least once if you like decor and whimsy and not cookie cutter hotels!

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.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a fun place to visit and explore. Special shout out to the check in people and gift store manager.

After reading other reviews we were concerned about parking and riffraff. Neither were an issue. We would happily stay again.

The people were great and friendly. It was a great anniversary celebration for my wife and me.

Great

Very friendly staff, awesome vintage building and decor, lots to check out on property including 5 bars. Nice area to explore in the day time.

Had a great stay we have stayed before and will stay again.

We have loved visiting this property for concerts, to go to the restaurant and finally got to stay in one of the rooms this weekend. It’s fun, funky, beautiful and unique and the staff is really great. The issue we had this weekend had to do with the fact that there is no parking garage and you have to park on the street. Unfortunately, our vehicle was broken into just outside of the hotel and we had several thousand dollars worth of items stolen from the vehicle and the back passenger window broke out. They do apparently have a security guard who walks around and they did report the break in to the front desk sometime in the middle of the night but we weren’t notified and no one at the front desk could tell us anything more about those details when we checked out. Police responded quickly and we filed a report but obviously, won’t be much they can do beyond that. Not sure we’d stay again, for this reason alone. Just too risky in this area.

Good and friendly service. Clean and excellent food.

This is such a fun and unique place to stay!!! So interesting too!! I enjoyed reading about the history of the area! Beautiful and creative hand paintings everywhere!!! Coffee and beer mugs in your room!! Our bed was super comfy with soft sheets!! Our bathroom and room were spotless!!! Friendly staff too!! We highly recommend this awesome place!!!!

Great stay

This is such a unique property. It was very quiet and clean and comfortable and so many fun bars to go to and different foods to eat. It is also walkable to many different restaurants downtown Tacoma. We really enjoyed this experience and front desk staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming!

Expensive, definitely worth doing once in a lifetime or a special occasion.

Everything about this property is unique and amazing. There are multiple places to get food, dining on the patio, hidden nooks and gems on every floor. There is even a secret Speakeasy. They make everything from the beer to the booze, and even roast their own coffee. Do yourself a favor , and stay here

If you are attending a concert at this venue then I MIGHT recommend staying there - but even then I would caution. There is zero sound proofing so be prepared to hear your neighbors, people in the hallway and especially every note from any concert. There are no desks or coffee makers in the rooms. They provide coffee in the lobby but that does require putting on pants. I ate at one of the restaurants and while the ambience was very cool and the views outstanding, the food was just meh. The bar is stocked with their own beer/spirits - also meh. They also say they have parking. What that means is street parking in front of the hotel and a "promise from the city of Tacoma not to ticket you if you stay over the two hour posted limit". While I did not get a ticket in my three days there, I was not at all thrilled with leaving my car out in the open. On the up side, the building and the interiors are very cool, the beds are comfortable and they are pet friendly.

Absolutley great place to stay, on site bars and restaurants are awesome, area is good. Staff top notch

The dining options and entertainment were perfect. Staff was very welcoming and attentive

This is one of the most unique places I've ever stayed in my life. I really enjoyed spending time exploring the property, trying the different bars and food, and enjoying all of the art. I bought a passport and can't wait to try other options in this chain.

I enjoyed one night stay, with plenty dining options w and super helpful and welcoming front desk employees.

It was clean, easy to book and a cute place to stay.

Great staff, great service, nice room. Good beds, clean. Fun whimsical property. Convenient and good eating options on the property

The Mc minimums at their finest.

1st time here....loved it!! We will be back

Located in downtown Tacoma, which is a magnet for the homeless seeking social services from the City and outreach entities. Vehicle broken glass seen on the street. I just hope my catalytic converter is attached in the morning….

Love how you can have fun without leaving the building. The staff, food, and drinks were amazing.

We love staying here. We live a mile away from Elks but sometimes we just want a stay over date night and this is where we go! This time we booked an annex room but won't again. We prefer the cozy Atrium room where it's more quiet. Either way we have a blast exploring and enjoying dinner, drinks and a show. What more could you ask for! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Even the fireplace is a fav spot to relax. We just love it!!

McMenamins Elks Temple certainly lived up to its reputation for elegance and excellence. The front desk was friendly and professional and had us checked in quickly. The room was beautiful and the ambiance of the entire Atrium floor was a wonderful adventure. We were there for the musical performance in the Spanish Ballroom and were very impressed with that venue as well.

Love the property. Parking is a bit of a problem and from what I have seen would not walk this area at night.

Wonderful stay at Elks.

Lot of things to do and the ambiance is great

Parking sucks. Overly expensive. Quaint but isolated! Too much $ for all. No refrigerators in rooms. Dusty smells and very bad lighting! Dark everywhere. Staff nice. Will not go back! Scary area.
