10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic place to stay. We were heading back to Vancouver BC after a trip down the Oregon coast, and decided to stop at a couple of wineries in the Yakima Valley area and ended up staying here for the night. My wife has a disability so we booked an accessible room with roll in shower. The room was huge, and came with a complete kitchen. Couch in the living room and then a separated bedroom. So essentially a suite. And this was  cheaper than some of the single rooms we looked at at other hotels. The hotel itself was very clean, quiet, lots of parking, central to pretty much anything that you could need, with helpful, friendly staff. I’m not quite sure that I will ever be in Yakima again, but if I do find myself there, this would probably be where I stay. Very enjoyable"
