Super 8 Motel Federal Way

If you want a prostitute knocking on your door to make money this is the place for you. I travel for a living and this was the worst hotel I’ve stayed in so far.

Terrible Terrible Terrible! The fact that it goes by «Red Lion Inn» is deceiving, as Red Lions are usually decent. The price is such a ripoff! I’ve stayed in better rooms for that price ($ 200+tax). We got a basement room, smells funky, dirty floors in the hallway and room. The window screen was torn, fortune cookie wrappers on the floors, towels had stains and one other one had hair on it. All the fixtures in the bathroom were loose, the shower curtain was moldy. We requested a crib when we reserved, and when we got there the front desk guy told us «it’s been rented out». It? As in you only have one? The best (worst) part is we notice a plastic bag over the smoke detector (I’m assuming someone got clever and smoked in the room?) and the chain dead-​lock was torn out. So we notified the front desk letting them know we are not feeling safe here. A guy came down, acted as if we’re overreacting-​eventually installed a chain lock. I’m so glad we only stayed here to get some sleep and continue on our way to our destination the next morning. Otherwise I’m sure we would’ve contracted Hep C or something. So gross!

This hotel sucks! They won’t give you a rollaway bed here, even though we made reservations for five people. The manager said he could give us another room at full price. Isn’t that nice? So one of us is going to have to sleep on the dirty floor. Nice customer service guys! Go to another hotel if you want to be treated like a human being. Out the window is a view of the highway! Yuck

My wife and I made reservations to spend the night to allows to do some shopping and go out for dinner. We were under the impression that this. was the red lion suites. When we arrived it had the red lion signs, however once we got to our room we could tell that it was previously a motel 8 as there were various signs in the room that indicated that. The room was terrible two queen beds one as hard as sheet of plywood the other one was sleeping on feathers it was so soft. Various stains all over rugs inside the room and also in the hallways, and there was a funky order we could not determine what it was. We will never stay here again and this better start telling its customers that the hotel is in the process of changing names to give the customer the choice if they want to stay or not.

I stayed at this motel because I’ve had good luck with Super 8 before, I will not be staying here again, it smells funky, there is no microwave or refrigerator. Another thing, most motels have elevators if there more than one story, this one doesn’t. I’ve stayed at better motels for the same price.

The plan was to get to Bellvue — because we wanted to see friends that we hadn’t seen for a long time that had moved to Issaquah — but I was exhausted and from driving from Ashland Oregon and making many stops along the way. I had to stop. First we saw the Water Park — well my son saw it cause it was on his side of the car and a 10 year old can see those things a mile away and even in the dark — which it was. I saw the Super 8 sign and I decided this is where we would be stopping. Worked out great cause our friends were house sitting in Federal Way. The lady at the desk was so friendly and funny — we got our key and went to find the room — then moved the car to unload. The room was clean.
The only negative thing I can say — is that there was a king size bed at one point in the room — now it was a queen or full size bed — seemed more like a full. We were offered a room with two beds or one — $ 10 difference so — we took the one bed. Won’t do that again — just would have been more comfortable with two. The Super 8 we stayed in Crescent City, CA had a king.
Liking the room before we went to sleep I went back to the front desk and changed from a two night stay to four nights.
Whoops — I do have a second and third negative thing to say — the fridge/​freezer — was more like a freezer — everything we put in there froze — which was ok for water bottles not so much for the food items — and no iron in the room — by day 9 we needed to iron some things.
We took advantage of the laundry room — but went to Dollar Tree for soap and softener sheets. We got our quarters at the front desk. The front desk was very helpful — no matter who was on duty. The free breakfast that was offered was nice — three different types of muffins — oj and apple juice — different types of coffee — cereal — yogurt — and waffles.
I would recommend this to anyone that likes a good place to stay and close to everything. Every front desk person was so nice and accommodating.

This place pretty much sucks, it’s just your typical place to rest your head immediately before or after your flight from Seatac. My adult daughter and I stayed one night before our early flight home the next morning. The room smelled funky; the springs were coming through the mattresses on both beds, and we had to wait AN HOUR for the shuttle to pick us up from the airport, while it seemed every other hotel’s shuttle came around every ten minutes. Still, it was cheap, we didn’t see any bugs, and the shuttle took us back to the airport at 4am the next morning.
