The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, the property was clean and felt safe, the noise levels were perfect and there was plenty of parking. My only issue was that this hotel doesn't have wifi for guests. But besides that, I had a pleasant stay. I will be returning!

Terrible no Wi-Fi, not clean
A terrible experience. We were booked for 6 days, we left after 12 hours. The hotel has no Wi-fi although they advertise that they do. The room smelled, carpets are worn and showing concrete through them. A terrible start to our family vacation

Fantastic!!
I was pleasently surprised at how clean and comfortable this place was. You can't beat the price and only about a 20m Uber ride to Jazzbones and the Comedy Club. We will absolutely stay here again!

First of all we got lost on the way there so I called them to inform them that we would be checking in late and was told that was fine. When we arrived I was told I was already checked in. My card had already been charged without checking for identification or checking the card. After waiting an hour we were finally put into a room. We also had no WiFi service the entirety of our stay

Great spot, we were in town attending an event in the Tacoma Dome so it was easy accessible to our venue. Only comment is we were surprised it was a motel. Not a bad thing. We'll be back!
