Hotels near Pierce College Health Education Center, Puyallup

Let me start by saying I’m going into this review a little miffed. In my 40+ years of traveling, I’ve never had a hotel or motel tell me I can’t use my reward points. But in this case, I was told the points can only be used for “Standard Rooms” and all their standard rooms were booked. So I went ahead and paid for a … non-standard room???. Well, I got to my room and guess what - it was just a standard motel room. There was absolutely nothing special or deficient with this room. With that said and out of the way, here are the positive aspects of my stay. The facility is somewhat new and it was clean (the bleach smell hung heavy in the air). The staff was courteous, but not necessarily friendly. The bed was medium firm and there were plenty of pillows. The free breakfast was pretty good. Within 150 feet from the hotel there were two restaurant … the food at the Pho restaurant was really good. Now for some downsides … (1) for all you light sleepers, this was a noisy motel. Even though we were in a room on the backside of the motel facing an empty lot, we could still hear the nearby traffic noise. Additionally, we could hear guests talking in their room and hallway. We could also hear the footsteps from the floor above us. (2) this motel is located in a not so nice location of Tacoma … they even lock the front lobby doors after certain hours, so you need to use your room key card to enter the lobby and to operate the elevator. Connected to the noise issue … I did hear a couple of gun shots at about 3 AM.

Rashay & Otillia have great customer service very friendly & very funny. I have a great time every time I come across either of these lady's. They offered a free drink at c/in & Rashay & otillia gave me a soda from the market because I was having a rough day

The stay was great. The room was very clean and had no smells. The customer came to the room when the TV wouldn't Coe on and fix it right away

Very clean and nice staff. Nice room for a good price in a good location. The breakfast was one of the better ones I have had at a hotel. The gated parking garage was a plus. The room felt older and had a little wear and tear, but was we did enjoy it. Would stay there again

Stayed here recently and liked my stay very much. Due to Covid the hotel restaurant was not open which was disappointing but understandable. I stayed in a spa suite room at a very fair rate. The spa suite is a nice room and allows for a good soak with bubbles to relax. Good Internet, desk for work. Property felt safe , good parking in a well lit lot. Property is near tons of eateries and shopping. Super easy access to I-5 to both Tacoma and Seattle. Staff were efficient and accommodating. I would easily stay here again.

I found the Courtyard Federal Way to be a halfway decent place to spend the night, but there were definitely some things that made my stay less than awesome. My room was comfortable and serviceable, and the bed was decent. I was on the 7th floor, but some of my co-workers who also stayed in the hotel on lower floors complained their room smelled strongly of B.O. However, despite being up on the 7th floor, I wasn’t immune to the loud banging as someone took out the trash behind the hotel and let the dumpster lid slam shut at 5:45am, waking me up way earlier than I’d intended. The morning after my sleep was where I experienced the most hiccups. Following the undesired super-early wakeup, I searched for some coffee to help finish my morning takeoff, only to find there wasn’t a coffeemaker in the room, so I went downstairs to see if there was something in the lobby — when I asked the desk clerk about coffee, he admitted not all the rooms had coffeemakers but they didn’t have coffee pots in the lobby, I had to go to the Starbucks shop in the lobby and buy coffee. When I checked in, I was told breakfast was included as part of my stay and that my room number would be on the list, so imagine my surprise when I was told at the Starbucks counter that my room number was not on the list. I went to the front desk and was informed that no, I didn’t get free breakfast after all, but the manager apologized and said she’d apply a credit to my account — however, the breakfast credit is only $10, which in many cases didn’t cover the entirety of the cost of breakfast at the in-house Starbucks/food place, so I ended up still having to pay a few bucks for an overpriced yet meager breakfast burrito. All in all, as a hotel, the place is okay, but definitely not a great overall experience like I’ve come to expect at hotels in general or Courtyard by Marriott locations.

You know the old story. If a deal seems too good - watch out. The price of a room at this motel was very competitive considering its 4 star rating. So I went for it. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I guess those are the important aspects of a one-night stay. If you can overlook the dangerously worn out bathroom light switch, the almost impossible to use bath tub faucet valve, the very loose toilet seat and the loose as a goose vanity faucet the room was a good value. Besides all that the building itself is old and not in good repair. For example, we used the stairs and the coving was either falling off or missing. Hey the TV worked great.

I think we can all agree that exceptional customer service nowadays is RARE. I'm EXCITED to give this review of Comfort Inn, located in Auburn, WA because I have beem treated with nothing but respect from the general manager of this hotel and his front desk staff. I stay in hotels at a minimum of 3 weeks of the month, every month. Majority of the hotels being a Choice Hotel brand. After yet another HORRIBLE expierence at Quality inn in Tacoma, i swore i would never stay at a Choice Hotel brand hotel ever again, until i came across the reviews of Comfort inn located in auburn. I checked in super late at Comfort Inn on 10/23/2019 with no problems, and have extended my stay until right now 10/27/2019 and will be staying a few more night because of how pleased i am. Parking lot is rather small, not very many spots open later at night. Lobby of the hotel smells WONDERFUL, very clean with a fresh pot of coffee available to you, iced lemon water and a flat screen TV with some chairs. Hallways smell just as amazing as the lobby, carpet looks very new and vaccumed. Indoor pool and hottub but i did not use either so i cannot comment on it. Although i have witnessed the general manager cleaning the pool in the mornings. I walked into my room and my jaw dropped, every single thing about my room was perfect. The king size bed was perfrctly made, with big comfy blankets and a goose down comforter with 5 pillows. I did not feel like i need to wipe down and disinfect everything, the mattress itself looked brand new, the A/c / heater didnt have old dust on it, windows had no fingerprints on it, huge mirror on the wall, flat screem TV, shower AND full bathtub in the bathroom, multiple large fluffy towels waiting for me, granite countertops in bathroom, everything was perfect. The room was so clean, it completely made me forget that there was ever guests staying in the room before me. I will DEFINITELY be back and will be referring my friends and family to this hotel.
