So much fun and so comfortable...

We were in Tacoma for our daughter's graduation. We spent one night at McMenamins Elk Temple and it was absolutely perfect. Found the speakeasy after a fun family hunt around the property. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Way better than the Airbnb we checked out of that morning.

McMenamins Elks Temple, Tacoma: 2nd Stay

Having had my second stay here, I can state that my first excellent experience was not a fluke. It's a great place to stay. I attended a metal show at the Temple Theatre, and that was just a short walk away.
The bed in my room. The headboard in each room is painted differently.

McMenamins Elks Temple

Staying here was an excellent experience. I saw Italian Gothic metal band Lacuna Coil perform at the Spanish Ballroom which is part of the hotel complex. The complex also houses a bottle shop and a number of bars/restaurants. The staff are courteous and helpful, and everything is very clean. I had a fine breakfast at one of the restaurants before leaving.
This is the bed in the room where I stayed.
