Days Inn Federal Way

This place use to be decent. Now all the non smoking rooms wreak of smoke and the people living there (living not staying) are just grose, laundry on the rails, loud screaming kids looking into windows. If your looking for a the equivalent of a king county homeless or prostitute voucher hotel this is pretty much equivalent. The smell of filth is horrible.

BED BUGS!!! This motel is cheap and creepy. I’m not from Tacoma but the neighborhood seems shady. On my last night I discovered bed bugs. When I told the front desk lady her response was «eew, and you slept there?» Real professional. So stay away!

Not the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at, but also not the worst. The room was clean except the carpets were very stained. The bed smelt very clean and didn’t look dirty at all. The toilet did leak though. We had booked a smoking room for cheaper and it didn’t even smell like cigarettes which was an upside since I don’t smoke. One bad thing was when we got to our room our door was not shut all the way. You had to shut the door pretty hard. The location is very close to a mall and plenty of places to eat and seems decently safe. The staff was also very nice and even let us check in early because we were going to be at a concert.

The worst Days Inn I have ever been in! Do not go there!

stayed here 2 nights thru
.its a old motel and desperately needs update/​renovating
parking lot is cramped and hard to get in and out of. lots of weirdo’s hanging
elevator
kind of a pain in the butt to lug suitcases up the outside flight of stairs. kind of a rather low quality
quality
room key stopped working and had to be replaced which was a pain. the room was rather plain. one lamp had no bulb, the old carpet was dirty and needed shampooed. bed was average. some previous tenant punched a hole in the bathroom door rather than replace they
mounted a heating grill on top of it. the main problem was that the window lock was broken .
hoped nobody would break in and rob my stuff. didn’t seemed to be maintained maintenance wise.
would I go here again? probably not. would the next room be better? not sure. see reviews on
next time I think i’d goto up on 320^th fed way courtyard by mariott.

Nothing great but not horrible. It was pretty clean, no complaints there. There were a few things broken, such as the toilet seat cover which keeps closing if I don’t hold it up. Tv is not an LCD. It’s an old one. But overall it’s was average.

Unpleasant experience. I will never stay at a Days Inn again. Room was damp, air conditioner did not work, TV was old analog and stopped working on the second day, floors were DIRTY, front desk girl was not helpful at all, noisy hotel, horrible old toilet with MOLD in the bowl. Unbelievable!

Stayed here on a nude modeling tour of the Pacific NW, en route from Seattle to Reno. I stayed in many shitty motels on this trip, and found this one to be ok.
The location (Pacific Hwy) feels faintly transient/​methheady/​prostitutey (like a place where a traveling nude model might stay, haha), but the motel itself is fine… although it appears to be one of those places where down & out people live for «extended stays.»
That being said, it didn’t feel unsafe or creepy. Parking is in a big, well-​lit lot out front, breakfast room was full of German tourist families. Breakfast was pretty good — cereal, toast, waffles, fruit, etc. Rooms were clean and well-​lit, with coffee makers and hair dryers.
Only real complaint was creepy puffy vinyl toilet seat… EEEEEWWWWW!!! Who the fuck invented those things???
I think I paid about $ 80 – 90 for this room. For the area, I guess that’s a good deal.

Great place for this price range! Now don’t expect the Ritz. But for the price range this is as good as it gets.
But the 5 stars go to the owner and employees. Everyone is hard working and the maids do an excellent job. I stayed here for 48 days! So I know.
The hardest working employee is Karely. She made sure everything at breakfast was stocked and clean! And also running the front desk at the same time… Amazing!
For the evening, Ed was awesome! Very helpful and always running around helping the guests.
So if your looking for a nice hotel, with no problems, thats close the highway 5 and 40 mins from DT Seattle. Check this place out for sure! There are also places in walking distance, like good, juice bars, coffee, and even a beer store!

After having traveled for 2400 miles and staying in other Days Inns, I wasn’t expecting much. I had asked for wheelchair accessible rooms at each stop but this was the only one that was truly wheelchair friendly (i.e., a wheelchair would fit past the bed into the bathroom!). Plus it was clean and not seemingly inhabited/​overrun by permanent/​semi-​permanent motel residents or in a seedy section of town. Was able to check out early because my business in town was completed early and the front desk staff was extremely nice and friendly. Thanks!

Stayed here three nights while photographing races at the local racetrack. I found a deal on the web for $ 48.61 a night and showed it to the front desk person, and they immediately matched the deal. The rooms are moderately sized, clean and I think they just replaced the mattress which was comfortable. My room had a desk, microwave and fridge. The tv was an older model but the picture was good and had cable with a good selection of channels. The only negatives I found was a small bleach stain on the blanket, somewhat thin walls and a few people loitering around the property. The people didn’t bother me at all, but I made sure I locked my car.
This property is about half a mile off of i5 was right next to a shopping center that has a Starbucks and various restaurants and fast food options.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here next time I’m in town.
