The Motel 6 in Tumwater, WA is very basic and clean. THe motel is HUGE but the rooms are pathetically small!!!! It would seem that the Motel 6 Chain could make the rooms a tad larger for the comfort of the public!! The staff at this hotel is efficient and mostly friendly. The price is right and I understand that... More

Travelling with a dog limits our choices of accommodations so know we can always count on Motel 6. However, some of them have been not great but this property was a pleasant surprise. I check tripadvisor first and saw favourable reviews. It didn't let me down - friendly staff and comfortable updated room. I would have given it more stars... More

Needed a place in Olympia with very little warning and needed dog friendly. Motel 6 to the rescue...the "pet" policy is stated up front and reasonable. The room has hard-wood floors so no problem there. Nice property to walk the dog. One complaint, it was labled as "non-smoking" (the dog doesn't smoke either) yet the room had a faint odor... More

I've stayed here 2 times, and both times the rooms were clean, staff friendly, and the price was right! Love how Motel 6 is remodeling to eco-friendly rooms. It makes so much sense to do away with carpet!! Think how much cleaner the floors are now! The extra bonus to us is their pet friendly policy.

I stayed at the Motel 6 Tumwater, WA again and it's still the best for your dollar if your in that area. The rooms had been upgraded since the last time I stayed here and it's a definite plus. I still bring my own sheets & towels I always have u might think it's weird but I feel better sleeping... More

I was really impressed with this Motel 6. Just happened upon this one as I was ready to call it a day after 12 hours of driving. After checking in I was pleasantly surprised at how modern the room was. The colors were fun and there was no carpet! You don't get all the amenities that other hotels may provide...coffee... More

Wow, the renovations are nice. I've stayed at this location for years, especially 5 years ago when family member terminally ill. Feel cimfortable and at home here, especially in the rooms on the side of the office which doesn't face the large parking lot. Can hear interstate 5 traffic but find it lulling. $55.00 rate includes tax (Washington state must... More

Cleaner than typical Motel 6. Usual efficiency and inexpensive. Really convienient for downtown Olympia! About 7 minutes! Non rush hour.But the free Wi-fi is not. This is the third Motel 6 that charged. They should change their website. Only $3, but free MacDonalds Wi-Fi 2 minutes away. Staff friendly.

At $49.95 (plus tax) for the night, you get a basic room at the Tumwater Motel 6. I stayed the evening of July 31, 2012, and my experience was pretty much what I expected. Small, simple room, hard queen bed, with 37 inch LCD television, tiny shower (no tub), no shampoo, tiny thin towels, wi-fi Internet available for an extra... More

So this is a remodelled Motel 6 with a shiny looking LCD TV. But why bother with the LCD tv when the image quality is the same as what you would get from a normal TV? So onto good and bad. Good: - Clean enough - Seemingly quiet location Bad: - Smelly (somehow bathroom smells like smoke) - Can feel... More
