The Spotlight on Motel 6-Tacoma WA - Fife

Simple, Budget-Friendly Stay Close to Tacoma Dome

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly pricing at Motel 6-Tacoma WA - Fife. Located just off I-5 in downtown Fife, this no-frills hotel is ideal for travelers who want quick access to Tacoma’s top music venues without breaking the bank. With pet-friendly rooms, extended cable TV, and an outdoor pool, it’s a solid base for concert nights and laid-back mornings.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just 4.6 miles from the Tacoma Dome and under 3 miles from the Emerald Queen Casino, making it a convenient choice for catching a show. Its location right off I-5 makes it easy to get in and out post-concert, and there's free parking—a big plus for drivers.

  • Couples looking for a laid-back weekend with music and local flavor
  • Fans needing a quiet place to recharge after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find several fast food and casual dining spots within walking or short driving distance. Late-night bites are easy to grab nearby, and most rooms come equipped with mini-fridges for storing snacks. No breakfast is served on-site, so plan to fuel up at one of the nearby diners after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer nightlife or a bar, it’s just a quick drive to nearby casinos, lounges, and bars in Tacoma. You'll find everything from live music venues to laid-back taprooms just minutes away, making it easy to keep the night going after the show.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, easy freeway access, and pet-friendly policy. Many say it’s a solid pick if you just need a clean, simple place to sleep after an event. The pool is a bonus in warmer months, and the parking is free and plentiful.

Areas for Improvement

The motel’s minimalist vibe means no frills—don’t expect fancy décor or extra amenities. Some reviews mention the occasional noise from the nearby freeway, and the lack of breakfast or coffee service might be a downside for early risers.

Self explanatory - A Motel...

Liked: The motel was easy to access from the highway and it was located nearby several restaurants, fuel stations and attractions.
Disliked: The pictures of the room shown during booking did not match the actual room; E.G. the shower and blankets. The counter / desk had a big red stain. The mattresses were severely stained and should have been decommissioned a while ago. The wood floor has not been maintained well. The bathroom sink did not drain very well and should have been snaked / unclogged before receiving new guests.

Overall, we were very dissatisfied...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our stay. The beds were old with sagging mattresses, making it very uncomfortable to sleep. The worst part was the noise — even with the windows and doors closed, the room was very loud. There were large gaps around the door, letting in a lot of noise from outside. The door also faced directly onto a highway, so it was extremely noisy all night. We couldn’t get any rest.

We went to a concert...

Liked: It was a place to sleep. That’s about it.
Disliked: Looked like it had been hastily painted and put together. No weather seals on the bottom of the door. Very small tv. No usb ports and awkwardly located power outlets. Shower floor seemed stained and the slip strips were coming off.

Had soap, towels relatively clean,...

Liked: Easy to get on freeway to head to airport.
Disliked: Room smelled like an ashtray. Staff was not the friendliest, door locked as we arrived late. Took awhile for response at the window. After filling out the first few things when let inside to sign, then was treated much more nicely.
