10/10 Excellent

"I love it"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tacoma - Seattle

6/10 Okay

"Crystal was great. She got a new remote for me as the volume didn't work on the other one. She tried to help me cast my phone to the tv, but it didn't work. The room was clean, the bathroom had a towel rack that wasn't on the wall right and seemed a little unstable. The curtain rod was broke, but still functioning. The breakfast could have been better. I wish they had bacon, sausage and eggs. "

Best Western Plus Puyallup Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The check in staff/ check out staff when I checked in was personable and friendly. The overall building was presentable and clean unfortunately The room was a little rough the counters and night stands didn’t look like they had been wiped down in quite some time there was quite a bit of dust but overall my experience was not terrible.. just a little more TLC in the actual room specifically the night stands and high touch surfaces would be HUGE! "
