"Very safe for me and my car."

Fort Lewis Extended Stay Motel - JBLM

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Western Inn Lakewood Tacoma

8/10 Good

"Close to the freeway, shopping and food. If you're visiting someone at the base, it's 15 minutes from the base. Plenty of parking, spacious rooms. It's quiet and I felt safe. I don't understand why it had such a low rating, it is very outdated but it was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again."
