Travelodge by Wyndham Tacoma Near McChord AFB

Prefacing this review with the note that I reserved a room needing the minimum requirement of a bed to sleep on for two night; not looking for fancy. I started checkin at Howard Johnson (nextdoor) and was sent to the other building (Travelodge) to get my keys. I don’t know what kind of checkin process they’ve established, but it was not organized at all. Someone in front of me had a confirmed reservation email and was turned away because there were no rooms available. Another group came back to point out their room wasn’t even cleaned. My expectations were pretty low. When I finally got my key, I grabbed my things and my party went to get settled. Our key didn’t work. Normally this is a quick-ish fix, but at this point it has been an hour and a half since I arrived and we couldn’t get into the room. Not even the facilities guy could get the door to open. We left. I don’t know what is to blame: it looks like the entire site is minimally kept, and it looks like they’re going to do renovations. Even with how gross the appearance was (from the outside, can’t vouch personally for any of the rooms), the service was abysmal, and I can’t justify paying for such a terrible experience. Maybe if you need a place to stay without a huge event your experience may differ, but don’t expect anything that looks remotely hospitable about this place.

So booked this online last minute when we lost power and we didnt think it would be back on by tonight. It was listed as American Lodge. Cheap and for the price the "sketchy-ness" was expected. What wasn't was the confusion over the checkin being at the Travel lodge per the note in the window. Neither was the unlisted undisclosed $100 deposit. After 4 hours and back and forth with booking.com they were able to get me a cancelation fee free and were trying to assist me with accomodations when by the grace of all that is holy PSE had our power back up in Graham by 9:30 and we were able to just head home. Honestly, I was so freakin relieved to get home and snuggle in my own bed and can rest easy that even though they tried to hustle me at the motel-from-heII booking.com had my back. BUYER BEWARE FOR SURE. Cause for 174 you can get a much nicer and safer place. FYI make sure to have a pen/paper if using booking as you need your confirmation number and 4 digit code on hand. Always read for specific check in times (these are written in fine print) and look for any 'hold' deposit as those are ADDITIONAL but HAVE to be disclosed!!

Front desk lady was polite, but that’s the only positive. The non smoking room smelled like an old ashtray. The door barely shut and was a struggle to open. The walls, floor, furniture… EVERYTHING was disgusting. I’m not quite 5’ 3” and had to duck a bit to get my head under the shower head. I could hear everything in the rooms above and next to me. Assume drug activity with all the coming and going through all hours of the night. I’ll NEVER stay at a Travelodge again.

Honestly it's ok for what it's worth. My only issue is every single one of the wall plugins were loose, making it impossible to charge my phone let alone anything else. As well be very aware and careful about the shower situation, I can't verify because I couldn't go check every room but there was nothing in the shower to keep someone from SLIPPING, I almost lost it twice thankfully I didn't fall. I thought it odd because what if someone much older than me had been in one of these showers? There's literally nothing to hold on to in case something like that happens again, don't these places ever get checked for that?
