Top South Beach Hotel Reviews

Fort Lewis Extended Stay Motel - JBLM

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here specifically to visit our family stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and the location was absolutely perfect. It made getting on and off base incredibly convenient, saving us a ton of driving time each day. The rooms are basic but they were clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The staff was very accommodating and understood the unique needs of families. If you are looking for a straightforward, affordable, and highly convenient place to stay while catching up with your service member, this is a fantastic option. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit!"
