Negative Reviews
negative:
Cleanliness could be improved
A fairly regular complaint among reviews of the hotel is that cleanliness could be much improved throughout the rooms and suites and the communal areas of the property. Guests report issues such as items from previous guests left in the rooms, dirty carpets, and stained paintwork.
negative:
Dated decor and surroundings
In addition to the cleanliness or lack thereof, you may also find this hotel to be rather dated. Reviews certainly suggest that La Quinta Inn & Suites Tacoma Seattle is long overdue renovations.
negative:
Poorly maintained parking lot
Guests comment that the parking area is less than inviting. Although it's free to park, it seems that you'll have to contend with broken glass and garbage overflowing from bins. Some guests felt the parking area was unsafe due to transients hanging around the area.
