McMenamins Elks Temple

First visit to a McManamins and it was such a feast for the eyes- like a hostel on steroids, the paintings, colours, photographs, fabrics and plants are just super fun and extra. Also an amazing story(ies) behind a historical building you have to see to truly appreciate! Cozy room with a clean, comfy bed. Excellent, friendly staff and great drinks. The best part was the multiple bars to chose from. Found this great as a solo traveller- safe, fun, unique spaces that i didnt expect to find all under one (fabulous) roof. The tiki bar's great and Spanish bar's cocktails were particularly awesome! Little tour of the gorgeous "ballroom" concert space was a nice touch. They also have a great little gift shop with a variety of taps available. Super memorable experience, will be back with friends/family for sure and will be seeking out more spots from this company.

This is a fun place with great service and great food. I recommend the Jr.'s Jumbo Deluxe with a side of Cajun Tots for lunch or dinner and the Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast. Parking could be a challenge, but I was very fortunate.

I love all the unique artwork and how there are different themes to where you eat or drink. They have done a great job renovating this facility. The outside is gorgeous as well as the inside. Also, the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

The Elks Temple is a fascinating hotel renovated with style. The rooms and common areas are exquisitely decorated and the view from the hotel is amazing. it is a perfect location for visiting the Tacoma Museum of Glass and the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. When we were disappointed that our room was lacking a fridge, they immediately provided a portable one. Great service!

Rooms are each unique and this hotel is so full of history as it was the Elks Lodge Temple (the stories it could tell!). Really charming architecture. Easy freeway access. Also, the attached McMennimins pub is so convenient, excellent food and beverages!
