Fort Lewis Extended Stay Motel - South Tacoma - JBLM

Convenient and comfortable stay while visiting our son. We chose this motel for its close proximity to JBLM, and it made commuting to and from the base incredibly easy. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was very accommodating to military families. It offered great value for the price and provided a peaceful place to rest during our visit. We would highly recommend it to any parents coming to see their soldier!

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Fort Lewis Motel for an extended stay. It is the perfect setup if you need something functional, affordable, and incredibly convenient to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The Room & Amenities: Having a room with a kitchen setup made a massive difference for a long-term stay. The full-size refrigerator and microwave allowed me to feel right at home and save money on meals. The bed was comfortable, and the in-room Wi-Fi was fast and completely reliable for streaming and working. You cannot beat the location on Pacific Highway. It made commuting to JBLM and driving into Tacoma incredibly quick and easy. For the price, this motel offers fantastic utility and value compared to the expensive corporate chains in the area. The staff was helpful, check-in was seamless, and the room provided exactly what I needed for a stress-free extended stay. I would definitely recommend it to my military personnel, families, or anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly long-term stay in Lakewood!

Well we pulled in to the motel and popped a tire. Should've known it was gonna be all down hill from there. Had to wait for our room because they were "painting " it. Got into the room and it smelled gross and the floors were very dirty along with other areas. The fridge had dead and alive Cockroaches. Then tons of them crawling out of a area from the dividing wall. My husband had one almost crawling on him just sitting at the table. He killed some in the bathroom that also smelt terrible. This place does not look as advertised. Tons of weird people outside so be careful. Owners were rude and didn't like the fact that we left. Definitely didn't offer a refund or our pet deposit back. Its also in no way connected to JBLM or Extended Stay Hotels.

Clean space and comfortable living. Close to freeway and manager was nice and accommodating.

The actual property did not come close to the pictures online. I took photos of the problems, such as: humidity streaks on the walls, a window air conditioner that was caked with dirt and yellowed condensation residue both outside and inside, a dirty sink faucet with hair sticking to it and lotion that had not been wiped off of the handle, and very weirdly, an oily open-handprint on the wall two feet above the bed. At least that could have been covered by a picture of which there were none. The TV was on a shelf so far from the outlet that it had to stretch across the wall at its maximum extended reach. We don't normally carry cash, but oddly, the clerk asked for $20 cash before he would show us our room. It made me wonder if he was really the property manager. I had to choose a pin# to access the room but he had me say it out-loud while there was another person within ear-shot. There was not enough toilet paper supplied (a thin roll), and only one set of towels. We felt icky about sleeping in the bed and laid on top of the bed linens without turning them down. We were supposed to be there 3 nights, but I made new reservations and we left in the morning after the first night without saying a word. I didn't even want to talk to them. I will try to get my money back for the two nights we paid for but didn't use.
