AMERICAS BEST VALUE INN LAKEWOOD SOUTH TACOMA

In 43 years I have never felt so unsafe or uncomfortable staying at hotel in terms of the room and the property. The staff was accommodating but I suppose my first indication of this locations issues were the fact the staff was behind a secured glass room. The property was crawling with individuals I suspect were not staying as guest rather roaming the property. The traffic in the few short hours we were there involved what appeared to be drug and prostitution dealings. There was a group of three individuals using drug in the parking lot and they gave a very dirty look as though we were interrupting them. Ultimately It was the most concerning thing l've seen in a very very long time. And it takes a lot for me to feel like my property and persons is in some real risk of danger, harm, or theft. My wife and I felt so unsafe and uncomfortable we decided to cancel our plans and head home. I would advise anyone traveling to find anywhere else to stay but this location. While the the gentleman I dealt with checking was friendly every single other aspect of this hotel was completely unacceptable. Please trust me when I say I don't complain easily if at all and that this review is meant as a warning to anyone traveling specifically if you're older or traveling with kids. This location is something you should avoid at all cost. Thanks for taking time to hear about our experience.

We went down for the Good guys car show all hotels booked. We found this hotel and so glad we ended up there. We have traveled a lot and these have to be the nicest and most polite people we have ever dealt with Ashley at the front desk was right at my door when i was putting the key card in wrong and she was so friendly. I spoke with the awesome managerJay in the morning and you can tell he really cares and takes pride in managing this hotel. Those people work hard there and I we were pleasantly suprised. Room was clean, bedding and linens were very nice and great pillows. Thanks so much guys for the great stay. I will definitely come back next year and stay with you.

WORST hotel ever. They would not take my Chime card and would only take cash. I paid the $400 for a week. The next day I was told to be out by 3:00pm NO reason. Then I was told 1 pm. At 12 I was told get out now or we’ll throw your stuff out in street. Again no reason. They said I could NIT have any money back because a person came to take my cat as they’re not allowed. I was charged $100 for the guy who came and $100 for a cat in the room. The room itself was disgusting.?The owner was horrible!! Don’t stay here. They’re associated with Red Lion
