What guests think

Reviews of Motel Puyallup describe a basic, budget motel with very friendly staff and generally clean rooms, a convenient location near the Washington State Fairgrounds, but dated accommodations, traffic and siren noise, and an inconsistent grab-and-go breakfast.

Several guests also report rude or unhelpful interactions, check-in delays, billing discrepancies, and strict or confusing policies. Rooms are small and older, with mixed bed comfort, occasional maintenance issues, and plastic mattress covers that can be noisy. Its walkable access to the fairgrounds and fair pricing make it practical for short stays. Expect a no-frills, convenient stay.

Check in was a breeze, the lady at the front desk was super nice. She told me about the morning breakfast, the Wi-Fi password and how to find my room without me even having to ask. The room was clean and tastefully decorated. It also included a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. Also included was shampoo, conditioner, and hand and body soap. It is located near a fairly busy street but was very quiet. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it highly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The staff were great. There was lots of smoking outside the rooms. The parking was a problem. Crowded and I couldn’t park in front of my room. Mos importantly it was clean. The noise was a deal breaker for me. I’ll spend the extra money and stay elsewhere next time.

Whenever i travel through Puyallup this is where i stay. Its the best value out of any hotel/motel ive ever stayed at. The building is a little run down, but the rooms are always clean and the staff is always friendly. Plus the wifi is actually useable (something ive discovered isnt always the case). Ill def be back the next time im in the area.

This motel is very retro. The floor in our room was filthy, but we didn't realize how dirty it was until I made the mistake of wearing white socks. There was a huge friendly spider in the shower, and the water goes from hot to warm every few seconds. There is almost no water pressure in the shower. Two of the staff were very rude, and there was a reality show playing on the TV in the lobby with during breakfast. When I went to check out, two staff members were busy discussing Dave Chappelle and completely ignored me.

What i didnt like was lack of seating for breakfast. We didn’t even eat because there was so little room. Finally started outting tp in the garbage because 2 flushes were required to get rid of it. Toilet acted like it was going to overflow. Plastic matress protectors woke me every time I moved. Bathtub faucet dripped There were bugs on my bed and in the bathroom. I killed half a dozen. If id not driven so far and was so tired, i would have asked for my money to be refunded and gone somewhere else. I will say that the gal at the desk was sweet and accommodating when i requested groung floor instead of upstairs. Thank you for that. Im sorry to say, i will never stay again and never recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed to spend my money for what we had to deal with.

This is the third time we've stayed at this motel. The room was cozy and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only suggestion for a more comfortable stay would be to bring your own pillow, or for the motel to invest in more supportive pillows.

The room and bath were truly clean! Someone took pride in how they presented the room and that matters to me. Yes, it’s an older facility but it is well cared for. I am a repeat customer for a reason.

The room was clean but on the small side. There were no eating establishments within walking distance; you had to drive. A major medical center was close by, and ambulance sirens sounded all through the night. I set an alarm for 0600, and the phone did not ring until 0700. For the low price, I received the value I expected. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful.

The floor in my room wasn’t level. Basically had to push real hard on the door to close from the inside. The deadbolt didn’t work. Closing the door from the outside you had to slam it shut and pull on it hard to close properly. You could feel the springs in the bed and it wasn’t comfortable to sleep on.

When entering facility desk clerk took 15 minutes before she waited on us due to being on phone with customer. When finally in room, TV didn’t work, clerk tried to fix & informed us she couldn’t give us another room without talking to mgr. She waited on 3 other customers before trying to resolve our issues. Asked for refund, due to treatment. First time in our travels in 50 years being treated so poorly.

Pros: The staff were amazing. The cleanliness of the room was great. The convenience of the location was a plus. Cons: The breakfast provided was spoiled and stale. The Expedia price ($93) and the Motel price ($113) were not the same. When mentioned this to the staff, they explained Expedia was to blame because they buy too many rooms and advertise for the price before checking with the motel owner to see if there is a vacancy. If this is the case, why punish the customer? The property could have used more lighting outside. It was very dark. The motel room although slightly updated (flooring), the rest was very outdated. The term 'you could slap lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig' comes to mind. We would stay again, but only as a last resort.
