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.

The hotel is right by the river, the scenery along the river is good, and a Mexican food next to it is also very good.

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.

I felt relaxed and enjoyed my stay,I slept well and had no problems.Reading some of the negative reviews I was reminded of how some people are never happy and will always find something to complain about.The hotel was clean, no funny smell,front desk was polite and accommodating and Im sure if there was a billing error it would be quickly resolved, these people complaining just have to much time on their hands and nothing better to do than try to get innocent people in trouble.So...Red Lion thank you for an enjoyable stay!You Rock in my book!

Great time but book the room for 130 then decide to book for another night for 130 I'm pretty much got bummed out when we realized online from the hotel was 85 wondering if we got a great deal I know it was a great stay will stay again but really looking for that discount and I was stoked to get a free drink and snack on my birthday but yet the second day they completely ran out of breakfast so make sure you're the first 25 to get a sack breakfast or you won't get one

Stayed here recently and for a Choice hotel it is not my favorite. The bathroom fan had filthy fur like dust all over it and it was really noisy. The floors are not carpeted which made walking barefoot uncomfortable. Bed was average. Neighbors going in and out all night was easy to hear and woke me up a few times. Price reflected the conditions as it was affordable but I will spend more next time I am in town. Check in and out was good and the employees were nice folks. Small pool looked clean. Property didn't feel super safe as alot of folks coming and going at times.

It seems to be the most affordable option during graduation weekend, and check in was relatively quick - but the facility definitely has some major upkeep issues. Our room had holes in the door, dirty carpet, very noisy air-conditioning, and the oddest thing (I know this will sound weird) is that our room (at least) appeared to have an atmosphere conducive to bad dreams and nightmares for both participants the night we were there – it didn’t help that the room had odd noises throughout the night. Now while this might sound like some superstitious nonsense, a quick internet news review suggested someone had died in the wing of the hotel we were staying in a few years ago. Although that might be interesting, that certainly wasn’t the purpose of this trip. Other challenges: the breakfast buffet was marginal, and almost entirely empty with no refills the Saturday we were there; noisy dogs and running children continued late into the evening and early in the morning, and parking was a nightmare - I would read this property on par with a motel six. While this property might have been the least expensive in Yakima during our visit, next time, I think we might pay more for a slightly more comfortable stay.

Best hotel in Yakima. This is a nice place to stay at and was very welcoming. The front desk was very attentive and room service was great! Everything was comfortable. Breakfast was simple but overall good for the family. Close to Bobs burgers which is a plus and target!
