“I will never stay there again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just the facts. Banner by office said "new innovative management." Also Cool Pool, but the pool was green with algae, a possible health hazzard.

The 5' evergreen tree outside our room is brown,dead, Room smells, carpet has multiple holes, stains and ill fitting seams. Stayed 2 nights, absolutely no day service. Trash was not emptied, bed was not made and linens were not changed. Outside trash bins are overflowing and 36 beer cans were not moved in 36 hours. Prostitute stood directly under a security camera for hours. Pizza boxes on sidewalks. Leaking gutters. A chair has protruding sheet metal and nail that ripped clothing. Passive management, "Oh a bad chair, just put it outside " (in the rain.) Re no daily maid service. " Oh, you had no maid service." No remedy offered! Caulk in tub and sink was moldy. Breakfast was unhealthy, all carbs, coffee was poor and not available during breakfast hour.. no cups. Clientele and receptionist traded barbs over this. Unpleasant impolite clientele, many appeared to be on weekly plans. The doors and locks worked, but the latch to our room appeared compromised. The TV, cable, and lights and heat worked. There was TP and tissue and a bar of soap. Hot water temp was difficult to regulate, a possible safety hazzard. I have stayed in all kinds of hotels in the U.S. and many developing countries. This is the worst by far. I would recommend that a Rodeway franchise rep visit. and dept of health.

Room Tip: Try another hotel.

“not as bad as replies below indicate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2011

I stayed here plenty of times during 2009 and early 2010, and unless the place has gone downhill dramatically(it's possible since they had name change to Rodeway Inn so possibly management change as well) then seriously it isn't as bad as replies below indicate. Of course when you are staying at an Econo Lodge in an industrial area like Fife you can't expect anything other than basic motel room. After all you get what you pay for. But this place was friendly to me, they have breakfast which most Econo Lodge's claim to have, and through multiple stays I never had a problem with keys, check-in procedure, reservations and so on. The room can be a little damp but what do you expect, this is Seattle, it's wet most of the year.

The only complaint I would have = the fact that this place is close to a lot of poorer areas of Puget Sound(eg. Tacoma) therefore their customers are usually a little scruffy. However it is offset by its location right by the exit from I-5 so you can get in and out easily and quickly. Another plus is that there's an Arco gas station down the street towards Tacoma that literally always has the LOWEST gas price for the entire Puget Sound area due to its proximity to the port so I always made sure that I filled up a full tank after checking out.

Bottomline is, if you expect a good motel then find somewhere else where you can pay more to get something better. If you want a good location close to stores then also stay closer to Seattle not down towards Tacoma. But if you just want somewhere to crash for a night or two off the I-5 that's convenient then this place does the job.
