Motel 6 Tacoma, WA - Fife

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was good

It didn't start off well when we went to our room to have the key card not work. The beds were soft so that was nice after spending the day at a baseball tournament with my family. Neverthess, the bathroom was very dirty (had dirty hand marks on the wall & the floor had dirt and hair on it). There were people staying in the room below us who look like they are living there who were yelling at each other. The next day there was a tow truck who was trying repo a car that the person was in and trying to drive off the tow trucks hitches.

Staff was not the best at checking in. Made it difficult and after I appeared she went on the phone and made me wait longer. The unit was clean.

The hotel grounds were noisy with people moving about / talking/ knocking and cars driving through all day and all night. The front desk agent was abrupt and seemed annoyed. No amenities at this location. No pool or morning coffee. Lots of dogs and saturated grass. The room was a renovated one with a very nice TV mounted on the wall and fresh paint and flooring. Nothing was broken in the room.

Don't stay here unless you absolutely have to! Wife and I are waiting for our apartment to be available so we found something cheap, that was close to work, so that we could save more money for when we move in. Staff is nice enough, but the rooms and the amenities are garbage. TV (Dish) only has 41 Channels and of those channels the majority don't have signal. Wifi is barely good enough for streaming services on your phone and coupled with the issues with the TV you'll be bored out of your mind in your room. We got a blanket with a blood stain on it our first night, replaced it with one with a cigarette burn through it, to which we were like "F@ck It" and just dealt with it. One night there was a drug overdose, and the tenant, instead of dialing 911, thought the better option was to run knocking from door to door for help. We ended up calling 911 for them. Homeless use this place as a hangout, they loiter in the laundry room unplugging whatever they can to charge their phones. Another night (1AM) we could hear RATS chewing inside the walls. We informed the front office, and they said there was no possible way there could be rats. I must be getting high off the residue of the previous occupants then, because there are F@cking rats in the wall! The ONLY thing going for this place is its location, and not for the view.

Great location, out of the way of tsunamis...:) I feel younger and more full of life everytime I stay there overnight. After a long night of church services and ********, I was blessed to have a fortress like Motel 6 to come back to, in order to regroup and wind down a bit. I find it harder and harder to leave, everytime I stay and check myself into a room. Great atmosphere

It was basically clean. Rooms were not that quiet, but the heater worked and there was electricity and hot and cold running water.

Great staff, very clean, nice room, and very convenient and comfortable. Only negative is the area is sketchy and unsafe.
