Silver Cloud Inn Tacoma

Really nice hotel with water view. There was a wine reception when I checked in. Gym is tiny and minimal but it has free drinking water in there. Rooms are big and beds comfortable. Free parking. Good escape from the city and all that traffic.

I had a lovely time in this hotel. Situated right on the water, my room was equipped with a full jacuzzi tub with bubble bath, salts, and everything needed for a relaxing evening. It was the perfect way to come back into town after a long month of travel and the views were stunning.
The breakfast buffet was pretty tasty and the fitness centre on site does the trick!

Lovely hotel with the most uncomfortable bed of all time. It’s basically a bag of springs and clearly the least expensive mattress they could buy.

Honestly, this place is overpriced. $ 400 for a room with a jacuzzi tub and one bed is just too much. All the jacuzzi tub rooms have a spectacular view of Ruston Way. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly but, for the price, it just did not seem remotely worth it. I really wanted to like it but I can’t say that I’d ever stay here again.

I stayed here back in April, and all I can say is… wow! This hotel is literally over the water (it’s on a dock). My room had an amazing view. I didn’t spend the extra for a jacuzzi room, but the room I had was amazing. The view was absolutely incredible.
There was a bit of a mishap during check in, but it was quickly fixed by Emily and Amy at the front desk. They were sweet and very helpful! There is complimentary shuttle service within 5 miles of the hotel. I was given a ride down the waterfront to the lobster shop (thanks Emily!), and because of the gorgeous view, I decided to walk back. What a view!
The bed was a little soft for my liking, but that’s just my preference. Breakfast next morning was good, standard hotel fare. Check out was painless. Will definitely stay here again

Love this hotel! The view is great and the staff is very helpful. I’ve stayed her on multiple occasions and the rooms (and the grounds) are always clean kept up which is saying a lot for a place on Puget Sound. My husband left his watch there once and didn’t know where he’d lost it, about 8 months later we stayed there again and I asked them if they happened to have it, the went back and dug through the lost and found and found his watch! I’ve stayed in the Jacquizi suites and regular rooms, there isn’t a bad room in the place!

This is an amazing location. Right on the waterfront with walking/​running/​bike paths. Silver Cloud gave me an upgrade to a jacuzzi room with a fireplace and an amazing view. They have complimentary breakfast in the morning, which I have not had yet and wine and beer in the evening. Walking along the waterfront there are lots of choices of great looking places to eat! I will return. I wish I was staying more than one night.

Been aware of this place for quite a while, but had never stayed here until this spring. It’s primarily aimed at the business traveler, but it’s definitely welcoming enough that you can enjoy it when traveling for fun, too.
The single most important thing here is the location – you’re over the water; it’s built on a dock. This gives you great views from your room; on the south/​east side, you watch the sun come up over Rainier. I imagine the west side gets a great Olympics/​sunset view. You’re right on the primary walking/​rollerblading/​stroller-​pushing path of the Ruston Way waterfront, just north of places you can go for a drink or a meal. This is the stuff that makes staying here a bit nicer.
The hotel itself is certainly fine, too. Parking is easy, and the staff are friendly and on point. Checkin and checkout both went very quickly for me. The inside of the hotel is a bit dimly lit, but not unpleasant at all. The rooms are large, as are the closets and bathroom. You get a decent TV and the bed is comfortable. Everything looks perfectly clean, from the linens to the glassware. Honestly, these guys are giving you all the basics plus a few extras for a pretty decent price.
There’s a continental breakfast in the morning, which I completely ignored, but smelled pretty decent. They give you a complimentary newspaper as well. There are fancier hotels in town, with views from much-​higher floors, but I’d definitely stay here again, especially if the price is right.

I stayed here for (5) nights starting 3÷6÷2015, three of them for fun and two for business. We were in room 204 which had a great view of the water. It also had a cool effect during high tide where the water reflected on the ceiling like northern lights. I loved watching that in the dark room.
The breakfast is standard hotel fare, nothing too amazing. Rooms are clean and neat. I would give a 5 star, but… the hotel front desk staff needs some training. I asked for a travel agent rate and was told several different things. I called to ask about an airport shuttle and would have expected them to call me a cab. They did have the number handy and gave it to me. Other than a couple of issues with the front desk, it was great, and the folks were very nice, just not trained as I’d have expected. Definately recommend as location and ambience is amazing. I’m going back again.

I love this inn! They upgraded us to a suite at the end. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Room is beautiful and up to date. I think one thing that excites me is plugs to charge your phone… simple pleasures. The location is ideal along the waterfront with a walking path for miles.

This was an incredible hotel for the price — covered parking, boardwalk on the water, a FULL complimentary breakfast (eggs, waffles, sausage, yogurt, bagels, fruit, cereal, etc.), and a really quiet, convenient location. The hotel is built on a freakin’ pier! We stayed in a bay view jacuzzi suite, and were very happy with the accommodations. The rooms are thoughtful and well-​appointed, and the views were spectacular. The room had a BIG flatscreen above the fireplace mantle (FYI: TV was absolutely viewable from the jacuzzi tub!), and was clean and comfortable. We didn’t stay long enough to check out the several nearby parks, but we will definitely consider visiting this location for another getaway in the future. I would be skeptical of some of the other poor reviews of this hotel. We travel frequently, and this is one of the very best hotels we’ve stayed in. Would very, very *highly* recommend to friends.

Great hotel. My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. All the rooms have a waterfront view and its so fun watching the weather change. Beds weren’t that comfy but we had a jacuzzi tub in our room which was amazing. Overall a great experience that I recommend to anyone visiting the pnw. :)

Customer service here is horrible. The gentlemen I spoke with was incredibly rude. I was going to suggest this place to family when they visited us, but after the rude service I received there’s no way I’m even considering this place.
Furthermore you are paying for the view and that’s it! There are very few attractions within walking distance. Another nice hotel (that starts with an M in downtown tacoma) was less expensive for the weekend my family is visiting. Do some research and find a nicer place to stay that’s not over priced, and actually provides good customer service not only to current customers but to ones inquiring for future stays.

Silver Cloud Inn. If there is a «Silver Lining» in the hotel business, this is it!
I stayed at the Silver Cloud in July 2014. The hotel is on a pier in Puget Sound. The views are stunning. The staff is friendly, courteous, and efficient. The hotel is spotless. Every where you go, there is someone cleaning something. On my first day, I watched a member of the Housekeeping Staff using a lint brush to remove lint FROM THE CARPET in the hallway to our room.
We stayed on the Third Floor. Our view was breathtaking. I could not take a bad picture from anywhere on the property. The room was beautiful, the King Size bed was supremely comfortable, and the amenities… like Aveda Bath and Body products were all perfect. My only suggestion to make this Hotel even better would be to have larger dressers in the room for folks that stay longer than a few days and want to unpack. If you are a business traveler, you are probably only staying a few days, so the current dresser/​closet situation is fine, but it you are staying at the hotel for a vacation, and you are there more than a few days, the drawer space is a bit less that 2 women staying for 8 days needed.
Exercise room has a treadmill, stationary bike, and a Weight Station. Considering that you are just steps away from all the outside places to exercise in Tacoma, this is more than sufficient, and the room is spotless, and all equipment is in working order.
Free Breakfast every morning… was great, Each day, Turkey Sausage, either scrambled eggs or a breakfast burrito… in addition, cereal… yogurt, fruit, and a make your own waffle station. Everything tasted great. The dining area had a beautiful view, and the serving area was spotless, and well attended by the staff to keep serving trays full until the Breakfast hours were over. My only suggestion to improve this great experience would be to alternate between Turkey Sausage and another breakfast meat just to mix it up. For those staying in the hotel for an extended period of time, it could get a little boring… Again… NOT a complaint… Just a suggestion.
The pier at the hotel is priceless. Just a few steps out of the hotel, and you are in Puget Sound Heaven. I enjoyed watching the locals fishing for crab every day, and it is the PERFECT place to catch both Sunrise AND Sunset.
If you are looking for a hotel in the Tacoma area, STAY HERE!!!
Happy Traveling!

Awesome place, great service.
Adorable views in every room, and in the lobby.

Perfect, in every way. 3^rd floor fireplace, jacuzzi room on the end corner. Incredible views. Loved watching the ferries, the tugs, the trains…
Comfy, romantic, and fun.
Breakfast (again, view!) was great. Waffles!
Girls at the desk, to the lovely woman who took care of our room, were sweet and delightful.
Wouldn’t change one thing.

We stayed here 5 years ago on our wedding night and again on a Friday night in January ’14. It’s a very nice hotel. A few things I didn’t like…
— When furnace kicked on at night, it was loud
— Lights over sink were loud
— Fireplace was kind of weak
— Walls are thin — could hear people walking, Jacuzzis turning on, TVs turning on, talking, etc.
— Liked the blinds going up from the bottom, but on the second floor with people in the pier, we couldn’t enjoy the view because they blocked it.
All in all however, really enjoyed our stay.

The best hotel I have stayed at while on vacation! From a great breakfast to the cleanliness and wonderful staff. I enjoyed my stay! I mean usually you don’t spend much time inside the hotel but this one felt like a home away from home.
I loved making my own waffles for breakfast and the view of the water was so relaxing. No complaints here but I do agree that a change in the comforter to much thicker or higher quality would really make this feel more luxury.

No complaints about this hotel. Clean, helpful staff, excellent breakfast. And they have a happy hour on Tuesdays!
We stayed here during the week for my husbands job. There was plenty for me to do during the day while he was working– jogging path, coffee shops, etc and the shuttle will take you to the shops within a 5 mile radius. There are lots of cute little places– antique and vintage clothing shops. Plus tons of great food options.

Free breakfast with room. This place is lovely. This is my view while eating breakfast in their cozy lobby with a fireplace. We were also able to check into our flight and print our boarding passes in the lobby, very convenient.
Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The wonderful room even had a fireplace, this was so nice. We were pleasantly surprised that we could NOT hear the train nearby despite a few older reviews I saw. I even left the windows opened a bit, I love crisp fresh air while I seep.
Maria in the breakfast area was a delight as was everyone we encountered. Everyone we passed in the hallway always recognized us and said hello. We even met the General Manager Dan, who said hello and asked us how are stay was going and if we were comfortable or needed anything.
Our stay was from 1÷31−2÷4 and loved it. We went to Pikes’ Market Place, Space Needle, Dorky’s Arcade in Tacoma (all old school 80’s & early 90’s arcade games, pinball, air-​hocky and pizza). This was a fun place. We went to Sunday brunch up the street at a place called Shenanigan’s which is right on the water as well. Every seat has a water view. VERY good and reasonably priced brunch. We purchased fish at the place next door and are getting it packed to check it on our flight home, much better priced then paying for them to ship (thanks front desk for the tip). I was even able to do a load of laundry, the desk provided complimentary TIDE and the washer/​dryer was complimentary as well.
They have a gym, which looked very nice, although we didn’t use it. We had a rental car so we did not need to utilize the complimentary local shuttle service, but if we stayed longer, I think we would have to try out some of the other restaurants in the area.
I would highly recommend this hotel and location if you are in the Tacoma/​Seattle area.
