Our first time to Chinaberry Hill B&B, was a very charming experience. We had the top floor suite, wonderfull view of the Tacoma Harbour. We had great sleeps in the comfy beds. The Breakfast was fantastic, Cecil did a great job for us, especially the bacon, good food and lots of it. A lovely character home, and we would definitely... More

Chinaberry Hill was the piece de resistance of our trip to Tacoma. We were wowed by the pre-turn of the century architecture, the fellowship with Cecil (owner) and friends around the breakfast table and the GREAT food! Thanks to everyone at Chinaberry for making our trip so special.

We've been staying at Chinabery ever since our daughter started attending the University of Puget Sound, and it has become our home away from home (except more charming). We always book the Pantages Suite: spacious, w/great views and large Jacuzzi - very romantic, except when our daughter stays w/us, & Cecil graciously schleps an air mattress up for her, along...

We had a great 3-day weekend at Chinaberry Hill. We stayed in the Rose Room, which has a jacuzzi and a fireplace. We also spent quite a bit of time relaxing by the fire downstairs in the parlor. The hosts made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were so filling we didn't want lunch. There is more to do in Tacoma... More

My husband and I stayed at the Chinaberry B&B last year at Christmas time. Our son was living across the street then. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The owners friendly and accommodating. They made breakfast for the whole family one day, including our kids across the street. The inn had many comfortable places to lounge, and the bedroom... More

This is a great place to stay in Tacoma. The location was close enough to walk to some places and an easy drive to others. Our room had a jacuzzi, which we loved and even a step stool to get onto the bed. The decor is great, pretty with a hint of quirky. Breakfast was very good as well

My husband and I stayed here after a long search for somewhere affordable and low-scent near Seattle. I have allergies to perfumes and chemicals, and the owners were very aware of these concerns. They also catered to my food allergies with the best breakfast I've ever been served! Kudos to the cook - he's a real gourmet! We loved our... More

This is my third stay at the Chinaberry. I am enchanted by this B & B, the careful collection of beautiful furnishings and eclectic objects, the perfectly curated music mix from Cecil's ipod playing in the downstairs rooms, the ridiculously sumptuous and delicious breakfasts. The coffee is perfect, the rooms, even the big rooms, feel cozy. There's a well-stocked cookie... More

Stayed here (in the 3rd floor suite) with our two adult children. The beds were oh-so-comfortable and the whole place was cozy and comfy. It was nice to have a space for the whole family to hang out together....the suite included a living room and a kitchen. The hosts are accommodating and gracious. It's not "plush" or "fancy", but it... More
