Pleasant

With all the other options...

Liked: Location was ok
Disliked: When checking in the clerk was rude complaining we got too cheap of a rate. The shower didn’t drain, the toilet barely flushed, the refrigerator was left open with a musky smell and a dirty towel left in it. Definitely not guest ready

Easy, cheap, convenient

Liked: We had a ground floor room with direct access to the spacious lawn out back. Moved the chairs from our back patio into the sun and enjoyed the day!

Very good

Bad

Liked: I was not impressed with booking taking my money and them not supplying me with a room. I need a full refund and I’m still trying to get it from booking. Visa will be notified soon to reverse the charges as I did not stay there because there was no room after booking took my money.

My Favorite Place to stay...

Liked: Front desk was professional and extremely accommodating. Lovely views of the green pool area from a nice room with balcony. Breakfast was ample and a great value with many selections available. I prefer the more luxurious hotel experience and Red Lion hits all the bells and whistles for me. It is an older property but with that comes period charm, more space, better beds and high-flow showers and toilets, an amazing array of pillows and an old-school approach to customer service which is personable and friendly. You will notice during conventions next door that this place fills up very quickly, and at other times appears empty. It is thriving and the bar has also been reopened--an extremely classy place to drink and dine. Definitely a Yakima highlight that I have patronized at least four times now, once with friends from out of town who needed a comfortable, classy place to stay on a long trip. My highest recommendation.
Disliked: The irrigation system for the property is heavily damaged and doesn't water the property well at all. Even though it comes on automatically, pipes are broken and plants are dying in place all over. The pool area isn't very well attended with trash and towels which tend to accumulate or go missing. The property in back has a somewhat sketchy feel as if one might not want to park back there, but over four visits I have had no problems with break-ins or with the street element (it is Yakima, after all). Overall, just a few things to attend to in order to make a world-class property.
