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….

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.

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.

The McMenamins brothers struck again with this beautifully restored property! There is so much eye candy, light fixtures, paintings, historic pictures, and stories to read about. The front desk staff went above and beyond to help me out when I needed anything.

Staff seems aloof and generally disinterested. Great part of town, though, and great building with a ton of history. Too pricey.

The McMenamin's Elks Temple is a fun, funky hotel, like the rest of the chain. There are multiple restaurants in the building all of which have great food. There is also a secret bar. My room and bed were comfortable. This location also has live music. Depending where you are in the hotel, it can be distracting. It appears that they end at 10pm on weeknights, so that was OK.

The Elks Temple was such a fun place to stay! Beds are comfy and decor is so cute! Please be aware that there is NO ELEVATOR until late June. This means no coffee upstairs in the morning, and you either need to haul your luggage or ask the front desk for a hand (which they seemed happy to do). Those with mobility issues might wish to stay elsewhere until that elevator is back in action.

This place is so much fun and the people who work there are SO helpful and nice! The decor is amazing and the light fixtures make me want to visit their warehouse to see what other stupendous items are in there, and I’d like to hire the same decorators to design and outfit my house if I were to win the lottery.

This was the most fun we've had in ages. We spent a lot of time wandering the halls and exploring the nooks and crannies of this old restored Elks temple. "Before" photos and photos of historic Elks events line the walls, along with artistic interpretations of Tacoma history. There are a few bar/lounges, each unique, and a ballroom with various events. Of course, our favorite was the Vault, a speakeasy lounge that you have to find for yourself. The restaurant had a view of Tacoma's old City Hall and the port. The food was great. The rooms were funky fun, though not luxurious. McMenamins spent a small fortune restoring this historic building and has done a remarkable job. They clearly care about the local history behind the buildings they bring back to life.

Our 3rd visit was just as enjoyable as the 1st. The main attraction, you do not have to leave the Temple. There's plenty of dining options as well as libations. And the food, incredible.

I’ve been to McMenamen’s many times, but this is the first time staying at the hotel. I love the atmosphere, food and of course my personal favorite is their cocktails. The room itself was fun and eclectic which my teen loved.

We have visited this property for eating and enjoying the amazing bars throughout. So we decided we would share a special night there but were disappointed. Our room had a smell of smoke (we are non-smokers so this was evident) and the odor was more present when we ran the shower. The room did not cool down enough for us (it was a fairly hot day) but could not get temp below 71' until late evening. Highlight, staff was friendly.

Very disappointed in the room ...it was not much bigger than a closet. Would not stay there again...plus our dinner (there was 4 of us) was not very good and expensive.

What a great hotel: I will soon be staying at other McMenamins properties, most of which I will purposely seek out because I like these hotels so much. Pros: design, art, curious spaces to find, multiple bars and restaurants, friendly staff, the hotel has REAL personality, good food and beverage, convenient location, great architecture. Cons: parking was okay but not ideal, and not all of the rooms can be reached easily with an elevator. A sauna or something would be nice also: I realize that a pool probably cannot be fit into the site, i.e. ;-)
