Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sumner

I was a part of a bridal party that stayed at this hotel the night before the big day. They were simply awesome! Rebecca was incredibly attentive to all of the brides requests! Bride asked for cookies, Rebecca told her to come down in a ½ hour and they would be ready! We asked if we could go swimming (because the bride was anxious and couldn’t sleep) and she kept the doors open for us! She was accommodating and hilarious and would recommend people stay here! Rooms were clean and breakfast was great! Thanks for helping us give her a great last night single! Give Rebecca a raise! :)

I have stayed here twice now after last weekend and both experiences were absolutely top notch! The complimentary breakfast that comes with your room is as good as it gets! They have almost every option you can imagine: Bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese omeletes, bagels, cinammon rolls, hardboiled eggs, milk, juice, coffee, english muffins, cereal, sausage, biscuits and gravy, condiments, they have it all. They have complimentary cookies when you walk in the door along with lemon water — a nice touch. The rooms are very nice and clean. Bathroom is spacious. Hotel staff is very friendly and accomodating.

Traveling with our 4 kids; wish they had adjoining rooms but Clean! Nice rooms, breakfast was great, we will look to this place again in our travels!

Was in town for a one night stay and had a room booked at this location as it was close to where I needed to be.
I stay at many different Holiday Inn properties each year and was pleasantly surprised with the staff at this location.
Upon check-​in I was greeted and checked-​in by ‘Andrew’ at the front desk. He was super polite, friendly and somebody I would be proud to have working for me at my small business. Upon getting to my room I decided to call up to the front desk and ask for the Manager on duty to compliment Andrew. I was transferred to the manager ‘Ariel’ and she was also a jewel.
Although the hotel is in a bit of an unusual industrial type area (for a Holiday Inn Express) — I will definitely be back to this locale — you guys Rock! :)

Ariel and her staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels and honestly this was the nicest crew I’ve encountered yet. I stayed here for almost two months for business training, and they made us all feel at home. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, breakfast was good, the pool and spa were warm, and the conference rooms were well maintained. Definitely recommend.

Came here for an Omnitrtion training. I was so impressed with the kind front desk staff — Larry was the name of the gentleman who let me borrow a note pad so I could take notes during the training. He was super sweet and did a great job of directing us to the conference room, which was set up perfectly for the task at hand. I was impressed with the large cooler of water with lemon in the lobby, and I loved how many cars were accommodated in the parking lot. This is a great place to have a meeting of any kind!

After our weekend plans fell through we started some quick planning for a last minute trip to Mt Rainier. We wanted to see as many areas of the park as possible since I had never been there and didn’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about where to spend the night other than if we started our day in the Paradise area and ended up at Sunrise we could come down off the Mt near some larger towns with hotels and restaurants. I chose the Holiday Inn Express in Sumner because you can never go wrong with a Holiday Inn and the area wouldn’t be sketchy (Tacoma) Also my husband loves their cinnamon rolls! After a long day of driving, hiking, and picture taking we stopped to get some quick dinner and were ready to get to our room and relax and that is exactly what we did. Here are the plus’s The front desk person was very friendly and quickly accommodated our request for a King bed and to be on the side of the hotel with a view of Mt Rainier (you’d think we would have seen enough just driving from there right?) We did laugh and joke about the reviews I had read ahead of time about the train noise with her. We loved our Mt view, we spent some time in the pool (perfect temp) and sauna, the bed was really comfy, the entire room was really clean, and as for the train I have to admit it was on my mind because I am a super light sleeper… turned the AC fan on 70 before we went to sleep and didn’t hear the train once all night!
On a side note. Yes this is an industrial area. It looks as if there will be lots of future growth soon. They were already starting on a convenience store and we saw a Subway had just come in down the street.

This hotel happens to be close to a business partners office. Its easiest for me to stay here when I come into town.
The Good: This location is less than a few years old, the rooms are comfy and clean. They often have free snacks and beer at managers receptions. Fitness room has the basics with good quality equipment. Good BBQ place and a Subway within walking distance. Well within my company travel budget, and generally affordable.
The Bad: There is a train that runs about 100 yards behind the hotel… Its not constant but it will make some runs late at night and early in the morning. Gas station /​mini mart across the street is a bonafide trucker stop. Pretty scummy inside (but not HI’s fault)
Tips :
There are plenty of places to get food and things a couple exits north 5 min drive.
Make sure you get the Highway facing rooms and youll probably not even notice the trian.
Also I missed breakfast this morning and I am sick… extra special mention to the Front desk woman who just brought me Hot Tea, and some breakfast items from downstairs… I didnt ask, she offered, and Im very thankful.

Newer property. Great rate; the rooms are really nice, especially the beds. It was a very comfortable sleep night, except for the train. They did have ear plugs in the bathroom. That was a bad sign when we walked in.
Don’t expect much from the wifi. Super slow.
Nice meal area and the morning food was as expecteed. On the way south on 5; you could do worse and maybe not better.

Very nice hotel with a superb staff. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and new. My room had a nice jacuzzi in it, at a very reasonable price. The hotel is somewhat in the middle of nowhere, but you can be to downtown seattle in 30 minutes, the casino in 10 minutes, Tacoma in 15 minutes, mall in less than 10 minutes, and many many great restaurants are within a 8 mile radius. The staff helped me out with suggesstions for both entertainment and food anytime I asked. There was really nothing for me to complain about with this hotel.

New property (2 years old). Not near anything really, but right off hwy. Nice room set up, but lack of outlets is annoying. The hwy side, no noise, no view-​well, hwy view to see how traffic is into/​out of Seattle. The other side you can see the mountain, but a train goes by, blowing its horn several times during the night. We heard it in the evening, & it is loud outside, never heard it inside the hotel.

Being in a strange land for 9 days, you tend to get the feeling you’re home even though you don’t want to be there anymore. Well, if you have to be in Sumner Washington then stay on over at the Holiday Inn express off HWY 167 and it won’t be so bad (sorry to all that live there, it really is a nice place, way to rainy for me though).
I’ve never stayed in a Holiday Inn Express, but they are nice. I’m usually in a Hilton or Marriott and for the price I never get all the stuff I got in this hotel: large TV, microwave, fridge, free wired or wireless internet, sink, and a nice bathroom.
It’s close to Mount Rainier if you need to see that big hill. 30 min to Seattle and 45 to Olympia.
Cons: The pools always have too much chlorine in them, but their hot tub was way not hot at all. The traffic was kind of annoying, but not too much. I’ve heard that the other side you can hear the train, but I barely heard it while facing the highway. I also enjoy trains, so that’s not much of a con.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay. I was able to sleep in, I work nights so that’s a very big plus, and enjoyed making this place my home away from home for a few days.

I stay at Holiday Inn properties all over Washington and Alaska, this is a great location very clean and nice. My only complaint is they do not do anything special for their VIP Guests, every other Holiday Inn property I stay at gives me special things every time I come. My two favorite are Idaho Falls by the Mall and Vancouver on 41^st. by the mall. I will stay at this one again when I am in the area for work.
