Motel 6 Tacoma South

My week long experience at this motel 6 was interesting! When I arrived (late arrival) I was greeted by George at the front desk. I went to see the room first & I did not like the location & to many people outside their rooms! George promptly gave me another room and helped carry my bags upstairs! The cleaning ladies were nice & thorough! I did have plumbing problems with the bathtub but they promptly sent Glen, the maintenance/​security guy! He was professional, a gentleman & very brave as he took care of some undesirables in the motel! By the 2^nd or 3^rd night I did not see any people hanging around outside; nice! It was a pleasure to speak with the mgr., Donald and I felt safe :). There is a security guard that sits in his car all night long! Overall my experience was a good one thanks to Glen, George and Don! You are also walking distance to iHop, LAFitness & other eateries!

Nasty, dirty, broken, shitty place to sleep… There was blood on the sheets, So I’m guessing they don’t change the sheets, The door is coming off the hinges, there was mold in the tub, I think that’s it, but more than enough reasons to never come back here.

Seriously, stay away from this place, it reeks, it’s super sketchy, and it’s honestly somehow not worth the low price that you pay.

Was going to wait until the morning, but we’ve only been here two hours and already starting to realize this place is fucked. When we first walked in the employees were giving off really shady vibes and just being weird. They asked for our IDS (all parties) and when we asked why said ‚“because we work with the police”. WTF is that. So pretty sure they did some sorta background check or something on us. Then get to the room and decide maybe we should Unilocal the place and low and behold… It’s a fucking shit show in the worst part of town that is nicknamed «tweakerville». So yeh. We’ll post more as the night continues. hopefully will leave here early a. m unscathed. Luckily we got what looks to be a brand new room. That or someone was murdered in it and they just remodeled.

This was by far the worst Motel 6 I’ve ever stayed at. The bed had chip crumbs in it, the towels had hair that I would find on my body after drying with them, and the people above us might as well have been in our room their nose came through so loudly into our room. The cops were there every night and people were hanging out all night long outside the rooms smoking and talking really loud. Turns out this motel is located in a really bad area of town. I will never stay here again!

This was by far the worst night in a Motel 6 ever!!!
People were running around at 1am in the morning and nocking at peoples doors.
We couldn’t overhear our neighbors, which were humping from 3−6am.
Then construction worker stared at 8:30am — also directly next to our room, even though I explicitly asked a silent room…

I give this sh– hole minus 5 stars. Unidentifiable stains on the mattress which by the way the springs are showing. Not to mention the fresh red blood stains on the box spring. The sheets are so thin holes are moments away. They need… Motel 6 needs to revoke this location. Gross!

We’ve stayed at a lot of Motel 6’s over the years, because they’re pet-​friendly. This one is not in a very good area. In fact, they call it «Tweakville.» For that, I give them 1 star. The only reason I’m giving them 3 stars is because of their accommodating service for me. That’s worth 5 stars (1+5=6÷2=3).
You see, I tripped off a curb onto an uneven parking lot at the Motel 6 in Raton, NM. We were on a timeline to get to Washington for my husband’s new job, so we iced my ankle and kept driving. When we got here, I went to Urgent Care. It turns out I fractured my ankle and had to schedule surgery. I was in a pre-​surgery cast & wheelchair waiting for the swelling to go down, so they moved us from an upstairs room to a downstairs room right by the wheelchair ramp. They also gave us a reduced rate, since we were staying for 1 week. Unfortunately though, Motel 6 has lost a customer!

This Motel 6 is in a crappy part of Tacoma and is the cheapest place to get a room at $ 59/​night (with a discount for booking through
, code «NEWHOTEL»). The customer service at the front desk was quick and friendly. However, while the room looked ok upon first glance, it reeked of cigarette smoke (it was a non-​smoking room). There were hairs EVERYWHERE, stuck to the shower walls, all over one of the beds… clearly the room was either not cleaned at all or just done so incredibly poorly. I figured being on the bottom floor would be more convenient but that was actually a pretty poor choice because I could hear the upstairs shower and those up there walking around and talking as clearly as if they were in my room. It was extremely loud.
I won’t lie; there are some things I’ll spend a lot of money on but hotels are not usually one of them. To me, they are simply places to crash until I move on to somewhere else. I’ve spent nights in some pretty bad places from Army billeting stateside to some incredibly appalling places overseas. I don’t care about extras, and I can tolerate a lot.
This Motel 6 takes the cake as the most disgusting of anywhere that I have ever stayed. I seriously considered just leaving and driving the 3 hours back home but as that was neither safe nor smart, I stayed but got the hell out of there as early as I could in the morning.
No. Just no. $ 59/​night is too pricey for this place. Spend a little extra money somewhere else.

This Motel 6 is better than Reddding CA, but there must be a lot of criminal activity, as the police are always coming and going. Not a problem for me I am not a criminal, and more cops hopefully mean no one messes with the vehicles. The room was clean, the people staying there were quiet. Parking is not good, you gotta carry your things a long way. For 65 a night, this place is not a good value. Should have been 37 to 40 a night no more.

If I could I wouldn’t give any stars. I can fit my hand completely under the door. Yikes how many critters am I sleeping with? Room reeks of car urine. Watched a drug deal from my car on the balcony above my room. Do not go here. Spend a few extra dollars and get some sleep. Seriously, because I didn’t.

got a creepy phone call on my room phone about an hour after check in.
Caller: Our computer went down and we lost about 18 registrations. We need to re-​register you. What is your name? Me: I’ll come down. Caller: There are a lot of people here already, you’ll have to wait about an a hour. Me: Then I’ll come down in an hour. Caller: Ok Bye.
What a scam. Worst Motel 6 experience ever.

Second time I had to stay at a Motel 6 from my road trip from Los Angeles to Vancouver, I already had a bad experience at Reddings, CA Motel 6, my husband made me stay at Tacoma Motel 6… I guess it wasn’t as bad as Reddings, but I was still disgusted… I slepted in my sleeping bag on top of the bed.
Well if you want a cheap room for some shut eye only this is a good place to stop, its cheap, you have a bathroom to shower and a tv to entertain for a few hours… then its back on the road!
Again, they charge extra if you have more than 1 person from the advertised price.

I wanted a non-​smoking room and got reservations months in advance. The room they gave me smelled so bad. I asked for another room and that room reeked also. I asked for my money back and left to find another place to stay.

When I pulled into the place and there was a Tacoma police car in the lot and the front desk made a copy of my driver’s license on registration, I was a little uncomfortable, but I guess it is these precautions that made it a safe place to stay. Front desk staff were friendly, and the room was very clean and reasonably priced.
It is close to Tacoma Place, where there are a bunch of decent restaurants. I got a good value.
