Modern Elegance in the Heart of Downtown Tacoma | King Bed + Parking + AC

10/10 Excellent

"ADORED every single thing about this property! From the stunning, snow-capped peak (mountain view) out the building front door to the perfect bed and ideal shower pressure…it was divine. For a downtown CITY stay, it was surprisingly quiet! The parking spot made the whole trip a breeze with no worries, as did the dishwasher and the private washer/dryer. Everything was spacious and SO CLEAN. Met a few friendly neighbors and (sadly, only once) the absolutely gorgeous cat Merlin, next door…looked liked an exotic type, with a very friendly owner. LOVED the 2-taco plate at the fun Red Star restaurant located so conveniently right on the ground floor of the building. And the location was exquisitely perfect. I fall in love with Tacoma a little more each visit, and given a choice, I’d ALWAYS want to stay at one of Jenell’s gems of properties. Feel so lucky to know about Corporate Condo Collection!"
