Top Fort Nisqually Living History Museum Hotel Reviews

The INN at Gig Harbor

8/10 Good

"Nice quiet retreat area and rooms are lovely. There is a bar next door that has live music on the weekends, quite loud--but they did end early. Be aware if you have a "do not disturb" sign in the morning, your room will not be cleaned later. The breakfast is nothing to get excited about. Overall a nice stay."
