Price was ok. Really the main problem i have with this place is that the owner will watch you leave then go in your room and turn off all the lights and the heater. I only left one light on so it would look like someone might still be in the room. Wasnt like i had the place all lit... More

I stay here for long periods of time about every 35 days. It is very clean. Front desk is very kind, couteous and helpful. I mean it's not a Marriot or a Hilton but for what you pay it is Really Nice for the Price. When there has been problems they always try to address it as soon as possible.... More

Stayed here on May 13th. The desk clerk did nothing but complain. She complained about a few guys in the lobby talking, she complained about someone who kept calling and asking questions, and she complained about the weather. All I wanted was a room, not to hear her take on how miserable she was. This motel is adequate, I really... More

Hotel was clean in a great location close for activities in tacoma as well as Seattle. For the price it wasn't to bad. I'd stay again.

Stayed with my kids and grandkids for the Puyallup Fair. We had two rooms, one reeked of BO, poorly disguised with air freshener, one room had the smoke detector torn from the ceiling. There was wet, used soap in both rooms, our socks turned black with a walk from bed to bath. We were given alternate rooms after the first... More

This lady who was hanging out behind the desk, seemed to have been drinking and was very loud. This is a hotel, not a bar...Later I had seen her hanging outside smoking, and yelling on her phone. I stayed at this hotel a few months ago and got a totally different experience! I would not recomment this hotel to anyone... More

We were in town for the weekend and was our first time staying at a HJ. The staff was friendly and courteous. The room was clean and neat. The only problem we encountered was the ice machines were broken but our room had a refrigerator in it. Maybe the call made to corporate headquarters will help get it fixed. Will... More
