Fort Lewis Extended Stay Motel - 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!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Lakewood South Tacoma

10/10 Excellent

"We were up for a weekend trip and I loved rhe room except a few things the internet for the TV wouldn't connect so we could watch anything at night when we were relaxing. But love the tub! Took a bit to figure out but got it. But the cooling and heat was interesting was on the wall but no covers it was weird gotnit figured out eventually. Feel like there should be instructions for it but loved the fire place was a bonus didn't realize we would have that place was clean and the check in lady was very nice."
