What a room! So fresh and clean, with a bathroom we could've designed, and a fireplace and real blankets on the bed! What a view! Straight onto the harbor, sure to take the weight of whole worlds off your mind. And what a totally stress-free experience to book and check in and out. 10/10 would recommend - We will definitely be back!

A beautiful spot right on Gig Harbor. The rooms are modern and clean. Snacks are a nice touch. The dock area is perfect for night time gazing . Will return often.

The Waterfront Inn at Gig Harbor is so beautiful & peaceful. Room super-clean, bed & linens luxurious, bathroom amenities top level, & ambiance relaxing. The large dock has ample seating to enjoy coffee/wine/phone calls while taking in the harbor view. If you’re paying attention you might see an eagle perched on one of the boat masts docked in the water!

We enjoyed our one-night stay in the luxurious Rainier room. We picked this location based on the reviews and they were accurate. Two notes that I think would be appreciated by others that I didn’t see in other reviews: 1. Parking can be a challenge if you don’t have a small vehicle with good ground clearance and are comfortable navigating a steep curvy driveway. I’d say only 3.5 of the 6 spots are easily accessible. My wife refused to use the two lower spots. Kudos for the well lit parking zone indicators in the 4 upper spots! 2. It looks like renovations were done in 2023 after a change in ownership, so reviews prior to that timeframe should be considered accordingly.

A delightful luxury stay in Gig Harbor! Hotels were booked up in Tacoma for the Washington State Wrestling Championship so I looked not too far away. Charming waterfront PNW town with lots of lovely trees and plenty of restaurant choices. The Waterfront Inn feels luxurious and is very comfortable. The bathroom has a lovely shower and bidet. I had a waterfront room with my own patio, lots of seating indoor and out. Owners are super nice!

I haven’t even left yet and I felt compelled to write a review. This is a lovely, quiet homey Inn with the perfect appointments (so many outlets, great AC, comfy beds, wireless speaker and snacks galore!). We took the complimentary kayaks out to explore yesterday and ended up across the bay at Gig Fest in the center of town floating listening to live music. Today we woke up early, had coffee on the massive deck and now I’m working remotely with surprisingly fast internet fairly far away from the main home. We met the owner yesterday as she was pulling out of her parking spot - she was so warm and welcoming. Although we only booked for a night I wish I could spend the entire week here! I can’t believe this place wasn’t completely booked months in advance - we will certainly be back and recommending this stay to anyone who is looking for a relaxing weekend away.

Our third stay at the Waterfront Inn. Perfect in every way! We've always had a waterfront room, which is gorgeous. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The views from the room and waterfront deck are amazing! Great location for access to restaurants. Patsy has been super helpful and responsive. As a full-time caregiver, it's challenging to get a break. The Waterfront Inn is our new go to for R&R. Looking forward to our next stay!

My husband and I have stayed here twice and loved it both times! The room has all the modern amenities you could want and we loved being able to borrow one of the inn's kayaks and paddling out into Gig Harbor. I also love that we can walk to quite a few fantastic restaurants (Morso and Devoted Kiss) and last time we were a two minute walk away from the Destiny Tours boat trip under the Tacoma narrows bridge. This is such a lovely place for a little getaway.

The Waterfront Inn is an absolute gem and a must-stay if you are looking for some rest and relaxation. The room and grounds are immaculate. The room was cozy and well-designed. It had a nice-sized bathroom which included a bidet. There is also a common area where there is an ice machine, microwave, snacks and plates/cutlery. Housekeeping is available but you do need to request it. They are very timely. I would be remiss if I didn't mention 3 things. 1. Service is outstanding. Any question I had was responded to very quickly as well as the request for housekeeping. 2. The private dock was amazing... plenty of seating and was very comfy. There are also many restaurants nearby which you can actually walk to. 3. The bed! It was like sleeping on a cloud with the most magnificent pillows!! I highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you, Patsy, for a wonderful stay!!!
