Book the Courtyard Tacoma Downtown on Marriott.com to get our best rate.



Mike, how did you get this link?  I'd like to send the associate that contacted me an email with a link that shows the $149 and up.  If I click the link in your post I get an error message but I can cut and paste the address into my browser and the hotel rates pop up - all $200 and over.  Funny thing is, when I quote your post in the editing window I can see the $149 and up and the pic of the hotel like I did earlier today, but I'm thinking that when I post it will go back to being text only.  

Sorry I just read your post.  The add just showed up on my Facebook page. Can't seem to find it again.

Thanks for the response, Mike.  Yep some of these ads seem to be a bit illusive - one minute they're there sucking you in and then they're gone.  I just sent in a request for quote for a Holiday Inn Express in downtown Tacoma.  I'm hoping they can provide a little more reasonable group rate than some of the others we've looked at.  Expedia for our dates puts it at $132.

Hey Dave, thanks for posting that info, I drove into Tacoma on Tuesday to get an update on the Extended Stay, the Marriott and the Holiday Inn you spotted. The Extended Stay was supposed to have a group rate quote to me by today, but nothing so far. I'll post more info and a complete rundown on what I spotted when I get their quote.

Adam W. - sent you a PM regarding date change, any response ??

Thanks,
John

Not to muddy the waters, but using the Hilton app, I found 3 Hampton Inns (or Hampton Inn and Suites) within 15 miles or so of Gig Harbour for right at the $150 rate. I've never stayed at a bad Hampton

I received a quote back from the downtown Tacoma Holiday Inn - $134 for 30 rooms, Wed night - Sat night (same rate each night).  This is about the same rate that Expedia gives - which is a little refreshing since it seems like some of the group rates we've been quoted are higher than the rates we can find on the open market for individual rooms.  

This may be a good option (great location, reasonable price) although we would would have to look into the parking situation a little more.  John has driven by and it looks nice (new) but trailer parking would probably be an issue.  


Thoughts?

I still have a quote coming from the Extended Stay in Fife. I'm also going to check out the Hampton Inn's as suggested. Compiling a complete list of quotes right now and will post when I get info from the last two places.
Also confirmed with Adam the original dates of July 13th through the 17th are a go !! I will update the header on that post so everyone sees it.

This looks nice to me. Has good ratings on TripAdvisor and Yelp.  Seems to have been built within the past 5 years, from what I can tell.

looks like a nice hotel and prices are more reasonable.  For me its an extra 40.00 a nite with the dollar exchange right now. If the dollar doesn't improve i may have to camp in my car.

I am bringing my tent and sleeping bag for some of my other stops. I bet there are some nice camping grounds in the Tacoma area. I slept in the '82 a couple of times. Not real comfy.Thumbs Down
