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.

Four-pearl Hotel Murano is one of the top hotels in Tacoma, with a central location that's near downtown, as well as shopping and museums. It's a contemporary property, packed with the beautiful glass artwork for which the city is famous. Though largely a business hotel, there's something here for guests of all stripes, including a a full spa with beauty salon, a fitness room, and a stylish restaurant serving food all day -- there's even a late brunch on weekends. The 319 rooms are spacious and nicely finished, with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, though bathrooms are small. Patron Rooms include access to a private lounge and free breakfast. While Hotel Murano's location is solid, travelers could opt for the Silver Cloud Inn instead, which has rooms overlooking Commencement Bay.

Three-pearl Silver Cloud Inn is a decent base for travelers who don't mind being just outside the thick of the action in central Tacoma. Sitting right on the waterfront, it's a five- to 10-minute drive from Tacoma's downtown attractions -- and there's a handy free shuttle bus too. Many of the 90 rooms have great sea views, while Premier Kings have dual-aspect windows and in-room whirlpools. It's a place with a lot of useful little touches, such as gluten-free items at the free breakfast buffet, a free guest laundry room, and a weekly evening reception with drinks and snacks. However, train noise can be an issue. Travelers seeking a more central location and a modern finish should consider Hotel Murano in the city center, though rates will be higher.
