For the price, by today's standards, I got what I paid for. The sink and tub were okay but the faucets in both a trial. The bed was Motel 6 level of comfort, but tolerable. I just needed a decent night's sleep and I got that without too much trauma, so it was worth spending less money for a nicer place.

The hotel is old, but fairly clean and quiet. My gripe is the carpet in the room which needs replacing.

Really nice people checking me in. The first room had a bed that needs replaced, so I asked for another room. They obliged without question. There was an area that had trash piling up. I’m glad I didnt stay near that.

First room I was in I accidentally booked a smoking room. Not from the cigarette smoke alone but the room was DISGUSTING. Wouldn’t sleep there for sure. The toilet didn’t work so I swapped rooms and requested a non smoking room and substantially better. I think it was OKAY (not good) for the price.

Dark, dated, and its weird to have 2 of the exact same picture. But it was clean and had beds, so it met my requirements for a stay near family in Spanaway.
