The Spotlight on Western Inn Lakewood

Simple Comforts Just Minutes from the Action

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly lodging at the Western Inn Lakewood, located just off I-5 in Lakewood, WA. With Joint Base Lewis-McChord just 10 minutes away and easy access to local concert venues in Tacoma and surrounding areas, this unpretentious motel offers a clean, straightforward stay with thoughtful perks like free Wi-Fi, cable TV with HBO and Showtime, and a continental breakfast to start your day.

Each guest room comes equipped with a microwave and mini-fridge, making it easy to snack after a night out. Whether you're in town for a show or passing through, this motel keeps things simple and stress-free.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a nearby gig, you'll love that the Western Inn Lakewood is just 5 minutes from I-5, giving you quick access to Tacoma’s venues without the city-center traffic. The motel’s 24-hour reception makes late check-ins a breeze, and free parking means no expensive downtown rates. While it's not a party spot, the quieter environment is a plus for fans wanting to crash after a high-energy show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable crash space
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited performance
  • Couples enjoying a relaxed concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value convenience over frills

Food and Drink Options

The motel offers a simple continental breakfast with muffins, coffee, and juice — perfect for a quick bite after a late night. While there’s no on-site dining or room service, you’ll find plenty of casual eateries within walking or short driving distance, including fast food and local diners.

Nightlife Options

The Western Inn Lakewood isn’t a nightlife hub itself, but thanks to its location near I-5, you’re within easy reach of bars, clubs, and lounges in Tacoma. Whether you're looking for post-show cocktails or a dive bar with local flavor, the scene is just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests highlight the affordable rates, cleanliness, and friendly staff as big pluses. The location near the highway is frequently mentioned for its convenience. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere, especially after busy nights out.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the property is a bit dated, and the décor won’t win any style awards. Others mention occasional noise from nearby roads, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. There’s also no elevator — so pack light if you’re on the upper floor.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a no-frills, affordable place to rest after a show, the Western Inn Lakewood delivers comfort, convenience, and value—all just a short drive from Tacoma’s live music scene.

Dangerous, do not stay

Liked: Spent 15 minutes there. As we pulled into the parking space, 2 police officers followed us in, while on their regular routes through the hotel lot, said you look like nice folks. This is a very dangerous area, don't stay here, try to find another place. It was 11:45 pm. Alot of crime at this hotel, you are not safe.REGULAR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. We checked out. Staff had said when I checked in, safe and no problems ever here, lying to us. They only charged us 1 night, but we want a full refund. Thus is the 3rd hotel we've gotten from booking.com where our safety and belongings were comprimised. No longer trust your sight. Need to vet your places...Demand a full refund and a call from management! Western Inn should shut down this pace and clean up the policies and staff. Almost had to sleep in our car. No where else to go!
Disliked: All
