Beautiful, unique property to stay at. Love all the bars and restaurant options within the hotel. Some place everyone should try at least once if you like decor and whimsy and not cookie cutter hotels!

Elks Temple like other McMenamin properties is a unique building with clever spaces even a secret bar we couldn’t find the first time. The lighting is dark and moody inside. The restaurants are staffed very well. Parking is street only and free parking is limited. The area around is urban and walkable for dining. The view of the bay is top notch.

After reading other reviews we were concerned about parking and riffraff. Neither were an issue. We would happily stay again.

We have loved visiting this property for concerts, to go to the restaurant and finally got to stay in one of the rooms this weekend. It’s fun, funky, beautiful and unique and the staff is really great. The issue we had this weekend had to do with the fact that there is no parking garage and you have to park on the street. Unfortunately, our vehicle was broken into just outside of the hotel and we had several thousand dollars worth of items stolen from the vehicle and the back passenger window broke out. They do apparently have a security guard who walks around and they did report the break in to the front desk sometime in the middle of the night but we weren’t notified and no one at the front desk could tell us anything more about those details when we checked out. Police responded quickly and we filed a report but obviously, won’t be much they can do beyond that. Not sure we’d stay again, for this reason alone. Just too risky in this area.

Everything about this property is unique and amazing. There are multiple places to get food, dining on the patio, hidden nooks and gems on every floor. There is even a secret Speakeasy. They make everything from the beer to the booze, and even roast their own coffee. Do yourself a favor , and stay here

If you are attending a concert at this venue then I MIGHT recommend staying there - but even then I would caution. There is zero sound proofing so be prepared to hear your neighbors, people in the hallway and especially every note from any concert. There are no desks or coffee makers in the rooms. They provide coffee in the lobby but that does require putting on pants. I ate at one of the restaurants and while the ambience was very cool and the views outstanding, the food was just meh. The bar is stocked with their own beer/spirits - also meh. They also say they have parking. What that means is street parking in front of the hotel and a "promise from the city of Tacoma not to ticket you if you stay over the two hour posted limit". While I did not get a ticket in my three days there, I was not at all thrilled with leaving my car out in the open. On the up side, the building and the interiors are very cool, the beds are comfortable and they are pet friendly.
