What guests think

Reviews of Kings Motor Inn show a heavily mixed experience, with many guests reporting serious cleanliness problems and maintenance issues, while a separate group praises friendly, accommodating staff and the value for a basic, budget stay.

Repeated complaints involve dirty linens, smoke odors, bugs, broken fixtures, and limited or no hot water. Service is inconsistent: several highlight fast, compassionate help and late check-outs, while others cite rude or absent staff, reservation problems, and security concerns. The area feels rough to multiple reviewers, though some note easy freeway access and nearby restaurants. Expect a budget motel with variable upkeep and service.

You have to slide your credit card and ID through a tray under a window, if that gives you and indiction of the clientele and location. The lobby is not open. There is no free coffee. There is no hot water. No warm water, in fact. The wash cloths were so worn out, they were like rags. It smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was a non smoking room. The comforter had a cigarette burn on it.

The reviews are extremely misleading. The room was so disgusting. For $114 for one night is actually criminal. we had to leave after our show and drive back to Portland because it was just not going to happen. We could not sleep there. Floor was full of hair, the remote was sticky, holes in the blankets, stains on pillows, stains on the wall, it REEKED of tobacco and cigarette smoke that followed us. Ugh so crazy. And they tried to charge $20 per person as a deposit that you don’t get back? Crazy. Idk what I was expecting but not that. Pay the extra money for your slumber.

There were stains and residue all over the walls. Which I took pictures of. You could see that it had not been properly cleaned. Which makes you doubt any of the rest of the room was cleaned or disinfection. The bed was as hard as rock made it really hard to sleep on. The fridge did not work. They tried to move me to another room but room wreaked of smoke. They insisted it was a non smoking room. Which it was not. And if it was someone clearly smoked in it. You get what you pay for which is a roof and not much else. It survived its purpose but I would not recommend.

Attendant was friendly, but property generally felt unsafe. The room smelled like cigarette smoke, and was somewhat dirty.

Rooms feel worn with dated finishes; comfort varies due to hard beds, noise from fans, and issues with temperature control or in room amenities.

The property is older and needs a complete overhaul. I did not feel safe. The shower was barely tepid and definitely not warm or hot. The room was overheated, and there was no way to cool it down since I couldn't get the AC to come on. No thermostat. No coathangers. The tiniest bars of soap I ever have seen (and TINY is the operative word). They weren't even big enough for a child, let alone an adult. I will never stay here again, and I would recommend that Expedia take this property off their list.

A smoking room smells like ash tray, ash tray was not even cleaned in the room. The bedding has cigarette burn holes, 5 holes and melted spots. The carpet is ridiculous!! It’s just sliced with no border with stringy pieces. DO NOT STAY IN THIS PIGSTY AREA. So not worth $105 plus a $20 deposit. Any Motel 6 is better than this place. Non refundable!!!

The people there were amazing. I locked my keys and phone in my car. They did everything they could to help me get it unlocked. But they ended up calling someone to open the car. They were going to wait out side with me until the car door was opened but I told them that it was not needed. I think they watched me out the window which was very nice. I think it was in a rougher part of town but I felt safe.

There was Prostitution on property in the rooms upstairs. We called ahead of time coming from out of state and were reassured there would be someone to give us our key. The person who helped us at the desk was not sober. He was high in something and we had to call multiple times, knock on the doors and windows to even get him awake to help us.

The software listed the motel to less than 40 miles from my location at Rainier National Park Paradise. The actual distance was 76 miles. The property is near the industrial port of Tacoma and a truck stop. The adjacent business were boarded up. We did not check in and drove the 2.5 hrs back home.

It was okay, I didn’t have to deal with no homeless or unruly people. The room was decent, has an odor, and wasn’t all the way properly cleaned I can tell although there wasn’t any visible dirt. But I mean there was no bugs or roaches.
