So many workers! I like privacy and felt there were always workers around. Not complaining- I’m glad folks have jobs and they are maintaining the property! The pools were great!!! Clean and well maintained. The rooms need some updating- my bed was caving into the middle. The room smelled like old cigarettes smoke but otherwise, great stay for the price.

Location was great with easy access to the convention center. Otherwise the property was ok. They had a small outdoor pool and a $10 breakfast. This hotel has been well used, just your average hotel with all the features you would expect. Not bad but nothing memorable.

When I checked in the receptionist said that the breakfast run started at 7:00 at a cost of $10 but he looked at me it will be probibly be $30.
I admit that I am overweight but for someone to say that at check in I almost walked out. Also when I woke up, and took my shower there were several small bugs running oround on the bathroom floor.

I was really disappointed with our stay. We arrived to find food left in the refrigerator from a previous guest and a dirty washcloth hanging over the shower curtain rod, which immediately made us question the cleanliness of the room. The entire hotel also smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.

Getting our room key to work was like playing Russian roulette—it worked sometimes, but most of the time it didn’t, making it frustrating every time we returned to our room.

Customer service was equally disappointing. The front desk staff weren’t particularly welcoming and at times came across as snarky. Our friends waited over 30 minutes just to check in, and during that time no one even acknowledged they were standing there.

The bar and karaoke area wasn’t any better. We sat at the bar for 15 minutes without a single employee taking our order or even acknowledging us. We eventually gave up and left.

The one positive thing I can say is that the shower had plenty of hot water.

Unfortunately, between the cleanliness issues, poor customer service, and lack of attention throughout the property, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

I've never stayed at a Red Lion Hotel before and although the price was within my price range I'm not sure I'll stay again. Our room was a long ways from the check-in desk and lounge area. Room was decent, but looking out the window which the sliding window was broken was a view of garbage and pill bottles. sketchy area in the back with low rental apartments as neighbors I was a bit worried about my car. I would stay again if nothing else was available in my price range and I absolutely had to stay in the area. I also got it for the breakfast, but I failed to notice it wasn't \"free\" breakfast, but $10 a person to eat. that was my fault.

The conveniences: it was next to the convention center and gas station; walking distance to food. Breakfast bar was available in the dinning room for $10 per person (May 2026). I got the impression that the bar/restaurant was only open when a convention is scheduled. It was open in the evening on Friday & Sat during our stay.
Most linens were clean. The washcloth in question was replaced with a new clean cloth.

Disappointing inconveniences: One was washcloth had small shavings throughout. Housekeeping replaced towels once over the three night stay. No garbage pick up. The holding brace for the metal “security” bar to the sliding glass door was bent. It prevented placement of the bar and the bar was left to hang down awkwardly. The inside of the microwave looked to have experienced burning that removed a couple of chunks of the interior casing. It seemed too dangerous to use. My report was noted and I was assured that the engineer would replace the microwave. However, it was not tended to during our stay. No indication of available WiFi. I noticed that birds perched on the rafters above the second floor balconies and excrement marked the wall and most likely the surface of the balconies. Possibly the seats.
I hope this review is useful.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights in Yakima to celebrate a family member’s graduation. Upon arrival our room had no mini fridge, I called the front desk and the lady stated she didn’t know if it was supposed to be missing or if all rooms have one and that she’d call me in 5 minutes… 20 minutes later I opted to go to the front desk in person as I discovered our bedding had strange stains and the mattress has some stains as well. They switched us rooms and let us choose which was nice. The internet only works in certain areas of the hotel and the cellular service is pretty bad in the rooms. The TV was good. The shower was completely dirty and grossed us out so we used water shoes. If the pool was open we would have had a little bit of a better time. They had dead mice right next to their lobby door which is concerning but I did see rodent bait stations so they are actively working on the issue which is a good start. The breakfast ($10) per person was okay in value however the gravy tasted like nothing and the French toast was rough but honestly for 10 dollars a per you can get your moneys worth. The key cards are super finicky and if you’re in a rush you’re out of luck lol. Look we weren’t expecting a 5 star top tier hotel but even for a cheaper but not bottom of the barrel it was disappointing.

When checking in I was told their POS computer system was down and I was forced to pay in advance with CASH which I didn't have on me. I had to find an ATM, withdraw with cash -including a $25 deposit- AND pay a $3.50 ATM fee.
Back at the front desk I was told that the senior/disability room I had RESERVED @ Hotels.com was not available.
The room was clean, the towels and bedding were clean, wi-fi was available, but no free breakfast and there is no on-site restaurant. Upon check-out I asked for my deposit to be returned and I was forced to wait while they sent an employee to the room to check it for damage before they would release the $25 deposit to me.
Most inconvenient!

Our room was as far away from the main lobby as possible. No other guests/vehicles in our area. Dark parking lot. Not a safe feeling. Intended to enjoy time in the lounge, but it was so far away, we would have to drive there and back from the room. The hotel was by no means full in occupancy (hardly occupied), so we don't understand the reasoning for this room location.
Hallway was extremely cold and room was extremely hot when walking in initially. Room temp was controllable, but only after reducing the temperature, leaving the room and coming back later, again through a cold hallway.
Took quite some time to get warm/tepid water at night. Better in the am.
The king size bed was like an oversized hammock. Swayed into the middle and so soft it was uncomfortable.
Ability to charge cell was nearly impossible. The wall plug was in the center of the king sized bed and the lamp had no plug in options. Had to swap out lamps to charge cell phones on the nightstand.
The corners of the bathroom floor very much need attention. Quite a great deal of dirt build up.
Had this been our first stay in this hotel, the review would be one star. We know this hotel has much higher quality accommodations as we have both stayed there for personal and professional reasons. Based on this and the availability of rooms, we are not impressed with our stay. Definitely would not recommend this hotel based on our most frequent stay.

There isn’t much to like about this place except the location downtown within walking distance of decent shops and restaurants, and the staff.
Our first room was infested with ants and was super damaged (walls with holes and torn wallpaper, furniture falling apart and damaged). Towels had stains on them and were small and abrasive.
We got moved to a different room that seemed to be in slightly better condition, but still old and dated decor. Bed was too hard for my husband who had difficulty sleeping. The toilet would randomly run to refill the tank. We later discovered that this was due to the toilet leaking from the pipes underneath the room where there is additional parking, creating a concern for potential biohazard.
If you don’t need to stay on the main drag and can afford to stay elsewhere, I strongly recommend you do so.
