Top 10 YAKIMA CONVENTION CENTER Hotels

Full disclosure: I have worked at hotels in the past. I was very disappointed with this hotel, and will NOT a return guest. Check in: My husband and I stopped by the hotel prior to the standard check in time, knowing a room would most likely not be available. We were off to a private event, and wanted to get the paperwork and credit card authorization done ahead of time. We did not know when we would be returning to the hotel, and did not want the night shift to cancel our room. When we asked to ”pre-register,” the woman working (who was clearly new) told us that was not an option. I was frustrated until her trainer stepped in and said that was fine. The trainer showed the new hire how to authorize our card, and stated she would leave clear/detailed notes for the evening shift that we were not a no show. Notes did not happen. I would understand if the lobby was busy at the time we arrived, but we were the only ones present. I received a call at 9:30 pm, which thankfully I was able to answer, from someone at the front desk asking if I was still coming. I answered yes, and said that my credit card had been authorized earlier in the day, and that there were supposed to be notes on my account. The front desk person seemed surprised, and didn't see any notes (or didn't look). They were calling because the hotel was oversold (”we have a full hose tonight”) and wanted my room. When my husband and I finally got back to the hotel, we were assigned a room on a low floor facing the main street. We could hear every car that drove by. We ordered the continental breakfast, which was a joke. My husband ordered the meat and cheese option, which was so disappointing and unappetizing he chose not to eat. Parking is cheap, ($10 per night), but the garage is shared with the hotel next door, and is chaotic at best. The only positive was that the room was clean.

I have been traveling to Yakima for work periodically since October 2019, and this is home when i do. Easy access to interstate and downtown. Nearby shopping and restaurants. The suites have kitchens with full fridge/freezer, toaster, microwave, stovetop, coffee maker,and dishwasher,table and chairs. Dishes, including limited cooking pots/pans and serving bowls/utensils. Separate living room and bedroom, large closet, comfy bed, tv in both rooms. Iron/ironing board, one load of dishwasher soap, scrubber, dish towels, coffee, shampoo, soap included. Laundry on first floor. Rooms are quiet and clean. Not included: dish soap, chopping knife, napkins/paper towels. Housekeeping is once a week. I would like to have a do not disturb sign, as once a short stay fell across housekeeping day when i was working nights and sleeping days, and i was disturbed by the knocking for housekeeping i did not need. Staff is always very friendly, and there is coffee in the lobby all hours the desk is open. Across the interstate from the river and greenway for some easy recreation. I will keep coming back.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn while passing through Yakima on a recent trip through Washington. The location is handy to the major roads and there was a nice assortment of fast food restaurants just across the street, including Taco Bell, Dominoes, DQ, and a 7-11. Our room was quite roomy, bigger than expected, modern, clean, and comfortable. The free Wifi was good and fast and the TV had plenty of channels. Everything was in good order and well-maintained. There was plenty of parking outside, including within a gated, secure parking area. Overall, a great place to spend a night in Yakima, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
