Hampton Inn & Suites Tacoma-Mall

The lower-middle-range Hampton Inn & Suites Tacoma-Mall includes all the amenities that have made the chain a popular choice among business travelers, including free breakfast, a laundry room, and free parking and Wi-Fi. It also features an indoor pool, fitness center, convenience store, meeting space, and business center. On the downside, it’s located well outside downtown Tacoma in an unattractive commercial area where little is within walking distance. Rooms and suites are clean, comfortable, and quiet, if a bit bland. Coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges come standard, and studio-style Suites include sleeper sofas and wet bars. Rates are competitive, but it’s worth comparison shopping with Holiday Inn Express Tacoma Downtown, a similar chain property that’s more central to downtown.

YWCA Hotel Vancouver

The budget YWCA Hotel Vancouver offers basic accommodations with attractive, modern decor for rates that are hard to beat. It’s a step above typical hostel-like hotels, and it has a convenient downtown location across the street from BC Place Stadium. Features include an on-site coffee shop, guest kitchens, fitness center, laundry room, and free Wi-Fi. Its 155 units have a hint of style, and they’re well-equipped with AC, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and many have city views, but some have typical hostel-style shared bathrooms. Rates are among the best in downtown Vancouver for value, and the property often sells out. The mid-range Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown Vancouver is an option that offers an equally convenient location, and more amenities.  

Best Western Plus Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel

The two-and-a-half-pearl Best Western Plus Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel is a solid choice for convention-goers and tourists. The modern hotel is fresh from a significant early 2017 renovation. Its 107 guest rooms are comfortable though decor is slightly lackluster, with no bright accents to liven up spaces. All units have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers with free coffee and tea, safes, and free Wi-Fi. The free hot breakfast is a highlight, as is the lobby bar and 24-hour gym and business center. Business travelers looking to be closer to the convention center can check Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City, which has more amenities for a slightly higher rate.
