This lady who was hanging out behind the desk, seemed to have been drinking and was very loud. This is a hotel, not a bar...Later I had seen her hanging outside smoking, and yelling on her phone. I stayed at this hotel a few months ago and got a totally different experience! I would not recomment this hotel to anyone... more

We were in town for the weekend and was our first time staying at a HJ. The staff was friendly and courteous. The room was clean and neat. The only problem we encountered was the ice machines were broken but our room had a refrigerator in it. Maybe the call made to corporate headquarters will help get it fixed. Will... more

I made the reservation 2 plus weeks in advance. I arrived with my 92 year old Mother. Paid for the room for 2 nights and got the key at 4:00 p.m.. Went to the room and the room was not made up. It was totally destroyed. The furniture was moved all around, no sheets or any bedding, heaping ashtrays(non-smoking room)... more

We stay at this hotel every year during the State Wrestling Championships. We have had nothing but good experiences. Last year we left a pair of Brand new romeos in our room, didn't know it for 2 days called them up and they had found them and shipped them to us. They are always kind when we check in and... more

We stayed for 3 nights and had a very good experience. Room was spotless and made up early each day so we always returned to a cleaned room. Free continental breakfast was good. We would stay again. more

Absolutely worst hotel experience of my life - and I"ve stayed in hundreds of hotels. So for basics, the hotel didn't even hit the mark. Smelly, decrepid room - afraid to take my shoes off. Smelled of bad BO or smoke. Water was only luke warm, bed was not comfortable, and the TV didn't work right. But that was the... more

Stayed here one night as we needed a place between Seattle and Tacoma. The front end of the hotel looks ok but close inspection reveals it is an older motel with some cosmetic improvements. For the price, I suppose it is decent value. Free morning continental breakfast was good. more

This place was too sketchy. The room was not that great, actually not very clean. We reserved for non-smoking but the room was filled with the smell of smoke and the owner just refused to help and asked us to suck it up. It was too late, so we did not feel like going out again looking for another place.... more

The Howard Johnson is now under new Management,Ownership and recently has been remodeled. I can guarantee all the rooms are extremely clean and checked daily by management.

We stayed here at the end of a driving tour of Washington and Oregon, the night before we flew out. We wanted to be close to Tacoma to see Defiance Park in the morning without paying too much, and this was a good solution. It was about 10 minutes from downtown Tacoma and maybe 15 to the park. It's on... more
