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. While it’s not a luxury hotel, the quiet setting and simple rooms offer a restful space after a loud night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to stay close to the action without spending too much
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • 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.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for an affordable, no-nonsense stay near Tacoma’s music venues, Motel 6-Tacoma WA - Fife hits the right note.

Sarah Thu, 26 June 2025

Stinky and loud.

Liked: The staff was absolutely lovely and friendly.
Disliked: My room smelled like cigarettes and when I left, all my stuff smelled like cigarettes. There was also a huge fight outside my room in the middle of the night, with screaming and cussing. Also it said there would be a bathtub when I booked it, and all the photos showed bathtubs but unfortunately I didn’t get one.

Don't come here

Liked: Old school cable TV
Disliked: Dirty shower, parking was far from the room, bathroom sink was cracked, no fridge or microwave, phone was grotesquely filthy, gap below door was wide enough for a rat to crawl through, neighbors had a domestic, pool was still closed for the winter in late June.

Poor

Liked: Liked how food was close by
Disliked: The water pressure was so bad, you had to press your body against the wall to shower. The beds were so stiff, it hurt to sleep. You really get what you pay for
