Property was exactly as described, and exactly what I expected for what I paid. Overall fairly clean (although friends said their room was dirty). Staff was really friendly and attentive. We even left an item in our room at checkout and they immediately called and had it shipped to us. Our kids had fun at the pool and the pool area was nice to sit around with friends. Breakfast was good and enjoyed the little coffee shack across the parking lot. Neighborhood surrounding hotel is not good, do not suggest trying to take a walk or walking to nearby restaurants.

I feel bad for the owners. They totally re did the property (made it nice) and the City of Yakima allowed the homeless drug addicts to set up shop on the sidewalks and surrounding businesses.(worse than Seattle and Portland) Human excrement on the sidewalks, all the local restaurants closed down....it's not near downtown...the nearest open restaurant is about 2.5 miles away. AC unit was very loud, employees though were very nice...they did keep exterior parking lot lights on...was worried that my rental car would be missing the wheels in the morning.

Our room was next to the pool and VERY noisy until the pool closed at 11pm. We did not request a poolside room but we got too experience what it is like to be next to a motel swimming pool.

It was so loud you can hear everything from the room above or next to you. Around 5am other guests had their kids outside the rooms running around we kept walking up. Not ideal for a relaxing trip for the weekend. Staff was so unprofessional the person checking in kept talking to the other staff and having personal conversations while I wait to check in. She then typed my card incorrectly and being distracted talking to her coworkers and not focusing. Not once did we get greeted or friendly.
