The place is great if you're only using it to sleep while your visiting close by area. It could be either quiet or noisy, but the staff there were great during my visit.

Room smelled bad... The strong smell of urine and cigarettes was overwhelming to the point that I went and got some pine trees from my car to hide the smell a bit. I spelled a bit of water on the floor and went to wipe it with a napkin, and that napkin was BLACK with dirt. The last thing that will keep me away from any Motel 6 for ever now is cockroaches, there was many cockroaches. I know it's supposed to be cheap and all, but at that point I would have rather stayed in my car for the night.

We booked for a room with no-smoking policy but the room they gave us was full of the smell of smoke. We left the door open for more than half an hour and it didn't help. After coming back from the trip, all of our stuff smell like cigarette smoke as well.

For the most part everyone at the desk was pleasant. Robert is always amazing! We are waiting for our house to be ready and have been staying for multiple weeks and have only encountered minor issues. If you have a choice between Fife and Tacoma, make sure you choose Tacoma. Rooms are updated and way less transient activity.

Had some bang on our door at 2am the checked our car doors to see if they were locked before seeing he was being watched. Then he came to the window and knocked again before leaving. Feel bad for the staff having to deal with issues that may arise there.
