“Horrible horrible motel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

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 night, but not a great improvement. The parking lot and sidewalks were littered with cigarette butts, the desk clerk was chatting and smoking outside rather than making morning coffee for the continental breakfast. We never once saw a maid, our rooms were not cleaned, the furniture and beds were shabby, the TVs didn't work correctly. The sink in one room did not drain, son removed the trap and found a huge clump of hair, soap, grease etc. No maintenance available. Very little water pressure in sinks, not enough hot water. Only one washcloth supplied in a room for four, though when we (repeatedly) went to the desk and asked for towels and washcloths, we got them. The sign out front read "Walk In Special" ... you figure it out. Had there been any other rooms available in the area, we would have left! The guidelines for writing a review tells me not to use all caps, but believe me, they would be fitting here! Don't go there!

“Horrible, Horrible Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2009

First time to seattle washington for a wedding in Fife... This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had! The room did not have any heat and the front desk could not fix the problem. (We slept with our jackets and gloves on!!! They did not have a maint tech on site (EVER) they claimed they had no other rooms available. (Thats because they rented them all to the high schoolers who knocked on room doors all nite and ran off.) We did not have a microwave as promised and the running water never stood warm. THE MANAGER CLAIMS SHE REIMBURSED MY CREDIT CARD FOR ONE NITE STAY! HA!!!! I SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER, STILL WAITING TO SEE THE CREDIT COME THRU!!! (not to mention we had to stay at this horrible place for 2 nights) Other occupants where heard complaining as well, running out of power, heaters and phones did not work. The BBB is my next complaint... Want my money back! Stay away from this hotel! Bad service and the manager does not care! oh and the free breakfast consist of stale instant oatmeal packages!

“The Lady with all the tattoo's was very unprofessional”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2009

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 after this stay!!!!

“Good experience, clean room and friendly folks.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2009

person found this review helpful

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 stay here again.

“My worse experience!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2009

I made the reservation 2 plus weeks in advance. I arrived with my 92 year old Mother. Paid for the room for 2 nights and got the key at 4:00 p.m.. Went to the room and the room was not made up. It was totally destroyed. The furniture was moved all around, no sheets or any bedding, heaping ashtrays(non-smoking room) and the worse thing of all was the bathroom. A plunger laid accross the throne and the rements of that were everywhere, floor, bathtub and of course the toilet was broke. (So the maid told me) I went to the office and the very young, lone clerk offer nothing. He seemed to be out of his element. I had to ask for my money back. I went accross the street to the Travelodge and my Mother and I got a spotless room. I have stayed in hojo's for years; but this experience took the cake; no more.
