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.

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
