Central Tacoma Homestay -private room-
A budget homestay with a kitchen and laundry included
About this hotel
Central Tacoma Homestay stands out among the budget options for what it includes rather than what it lacks: a kitchen and full-service laundry alongside free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking and an airport shuttle, at one of the lowest costs on this list. That combination suits a longer golf trip particularly well, letting a group do laundry between rounds rather than packing for every day, and cook a simple meal without adding restaurant costs to a multi-day stay. Its 9.6 rating across 61 reviews outperforms several pricier South Sound hotels, and it sits ten minutes by taxi from the Museum of Glass, roughly thirty-two minutes from Chambers Bay itself. It is pet-friendly and smoke-free throughout.

Our take
Central Tacoma Homestay is the strongest budget pick in the area for anyone comfortable with a homestay format rather than a standard hotel: the laundry and kitchen genuinely matter on a trip longer than a weekend, and the 9.6 rating from 61 reviews holds up well against pricier neighbours. I would choose it for a couple or a solo golfer. Groups wanting hotel-standard privacy across several separate rooms should look at the chain properties instead.
- Pack light and plan on using the laundry mid-trip — it's a real advantage over standard hotel rooms nearby.
- Use the free airport shuttle if flying into Sea-Tac, roughly 32 minutes away by taxi otherwise.
- Cook one meal in the kitchen to offset the golf trip's restaurant costs across a longer stay.

Why guests love itCentral Tacoma Homestay is the budget option I would suggest to a family stretching a golf trip over several nights. The full-service laundry means less packing for days of walking Chambers Bay's hills, the kitchen allows simple meals, and free breakfast, parking and an airport shuttle are included. It is a private room in a homestay rather than a hotel, so it suits a small family best. Its 9.6 rating comes from 61 reviews.
