Red Lion Hotel Yakima Center

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 26 Apr 2011 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel was OK for the money, but it seemed more like a motel. The heating system was terrible, and the hot water sporadic. I was very glad we were there for only one night.

Positives: I liked the connecting rooms.

Negatives: It seemed old and a bit run down.

I don't know if it's this location or if Red Lion Hotels are reducing quality overall. I used to count on the Red Lion to be a quality hotel when visiting anywhere in the PNW. The one in Yakima was only Super 8 quality.

Positives: Beds and pillows were comfortable.

Negatives: Shabby, run down feel.

Clean, quiet, convenient, good bed, and nice fitness center.

Positives: The fitness center, while small, was well equipped.

Negatives: The first room I was assigned had not been made up.

Check in was quick and however, we were given a key to a room that was still occupied. Apparently it was suppose to be cleaned. Anyway thank god there was no one in the room when we tried. The front desk was very responsive and quickly gave us another room and a $20 for breakfast. After all was said an done the customer service and our overall experience was excellent.

Positives: Very responsive hotel staff and clean rooms.

Negatives: Was not pleased they gave us a key to a room still occupied.

The hotel was basic and clean. The rooms are not bad. The linens and bath items were nothing special. For the price you may be able to find something newer in the general area.

Positives: The space was generally clean.

Negatives: For the region

I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed at a Red Lion years ago and thought it was awful. This hotel was well worth the price. I have no complaints and will return in the future.

Positives: Spacious room.

Negatives: Pool tiles looked shabby.

Won't stay there again. I travel forty weeks annually.

Positives: Overcharged.

Negatives: Bad attitude of staff.

This wasn't a three-star hotel. The beds were so soft and old that we decided to each sleep in one but the better bed ended up not made properly- making us wonder if the bottom sheet was halfway off because someone had slept in it and it hadn't been changed or whether the maids were in a hurry. The bathroom fixtures are decent but the beds and wall coverings are old and outdated.

Positives: Shower and bath.

Negatives: Beds were soft saggy.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Red Lion in Yakima. The bed was very comfortable, the room had a microwave, and small refrigerator. It was lovely to be there. There were a couple things negative: mold in the shower and a plugged sink, but we were impressed with the furnishings and the comfort of the room.

Positives: It was centrally located, and very nice accommodations.

Negatives: There was mold on the shower curtain and the sink was plugged.

I would not recommend this old Red Lion except under the most extreme circumstance. The rooms have outlived their useful lives. I could hear the breathing in the other room.

Positives: Quick registration.

Negatives: Poor construction, paper thin walls, tired.

Very pleasant stay, quiet, in town location, would stay there again; restaurant needs improvement in quality. Would like to have had in room small fridge.

Positives: Nice rooms, quiet and

Negatives: Mediocre but very pricey restaurant.

Very comfortable and quiet. Excellent value. I would stay there again.

Positives: The hotel room amenities were very nice and very comfortable.

Negatives: I did not see an elevator (or signs to an elevator) at the wing where we stayed.

My wife and I stayed here with our 1 year old. Huge rooms, extremely comfortable beds, excellent outdoor facilities (2 pools and lots of lawn for kids to play on), friendly staff (the security guard drove me through the Taco Bell drive-through at 2 am because I couldn't drive myself). Overall an excellent experience and wished we stayed another night.

Positives: Comfortable beds.

Negatives: Nothing.

We had a very nice over-night stay. The rooms were great, had nice view over-looking 1 of their 2 pools. They are located close to other area restaurants/fast food options/ easy freeway access. Bathrooms were supplied with Bath & Body Works.

Positives: Very surprised with room decor as it was very nice.

Negatives: Would have liked to have a mini fridge/micro in room as we travel with kids.

Very conveniently located sharing a parking lot with the convention center, the nightclub however was very loud and we could hear the thumping music from the farthest wing of the hotel. Also during the later evening there were more "undesirables" standing outside the entrance to the hotel/nightclub. When returning to the hotel after dinner we saw in the hotel's parking lot a few people drinking from the trunk of their car. We had a king room which was fairly clean with a renovated feel albeit a bit sparsely decorated with the standard Convention Center hotel accommodations. Big desk, an armchair with footrest. Our room was on the ground floor which had a small "patio" with chairs which was thoughtful however we didn't end up using them. I only killed one small cockroach in the bathroom. Next time my girlfriend and I will definitely be searching for a more romantic B&B or private hotel located in the vineyard area.

Positives: Location, pool, convenient nightclub.

Negatives: Nightclub was too loud; we could hear the music from our room.

We had a great stay!

Positives: Other in the hotel did not wake me up and it was very clean.

Negatives: They could use more parking closer to the rooms.

This hotel was lovely. The grounds and the hanging baskets were absolutely beautiful. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. The pool was the best. It was warm and sparkling clean. It was a true vacation spot to enjoy.

Positives: The room was decorated lovely. The grounds and flowers that we looked at outside our sliding glass door were beautiful. The pool was the best.

Negatives: Can't think of anything.

Highly recommended. Asked for a room in the newly renovated section of the hotel (the corporate building). The room was spacious, with a nice desk and comfortable leather chair, an ottoman for reading, a hidden refrigerator and microwave and a patio. The bed was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were also updated. Quiet, wonderful stay within walking distance to wine shops, restaurants, public library, coffee shop, public art.

Positives: Renovated room had amenities, space and pleasant decor.

Negatives: Only negative thing: terrible coffee!
