About this place Holiday Inn Express and Suites Tacoma Downtown, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Tacoma Downtown is a straightforward IHG property on South C Street that delivers clean rooms and a free breakfast. The building sits at the southern edge of downtown Tacoma, directly on the main thoroughfare. It’s listed as gay‑friendly, though the hotel doesn’t lean into that identity beyond the label. Rooms are consistently praised for being spotless, and the continental breakfast is included at no extra charge. The on‑site gym exists, but it’s tiny and the weight rack is limited. Google users have given it a 4.0 rating from more than 800 reviews. The Museum of Glass, Washington State History Museum and the UW‑Tacoma campus are all within walking distance, and the free Link light rail threads through downtown. Call +1 253‑272‑2434 or book through IHG.

I have had great experiences with Holiday in Express stay everywhere I've traveled! Hadessa was very welcoming and friendly when I checked in. I definitely recommend Holiday Inn Express if you want great service and clean rooms. Thanks again

Check-in was by far the best experience. Hadessa was very welcoming. She was quick to get my coffee maker and pods. She’s a gem. The rooms are nice. There were a couple stray hairs in the bathroom, the bathroom door and behind the toilet isn’t in the best shape. The sleeping area is clean and nice, new pillows wouldn’t hurt. Breakfast was decent. Would definitely stay here again.
