We made reservations early in the week, but it was a bit too late for this popular hotel. We had to have a different room each night...which was fine by us as long as we were able to stay there. The first night, we were in Suite B (2 queens). It was spacious and smelled clean and the beds were comfortable. It was a bit odd, that we had to push the bed away from the bathroom entrance to be able to close the bathroom door. The bathroom was quite large, but lacked a place to sit clothing or toiletry bags near the tub. There was also an odd racking system above the toilet that ran along the wall above the water heater which made it feel a little cramped. There was a mini fridge, microwave, and a dining room table and chairs in the room. We had access to the roadside and the back parking lot which was quite convenient. We were able to park our motorcycles in the back lot away from prying eyes and hands. The AC/heater unit worked great and was a steady fan noise that was calming at night. Overall, this room was simple, but quite comfortable.
Our second night, we had the New Orleans room (1 king). It was large, smelled clean and had fluffy towels that smelled freshly laundered. It also had a balcony that overlooks Main Street which was super cool. It had a bar/counter area which as great for placing our belongings on. There was a mini fridge or microwave in the room, but I cannot remember which... The bathroom had a large Jacuzzi tub and shower in it. This was from another review, but was exactly spot on, so I am using it also..."The only downside is that the placement of the shower head and the proximity of the tub to the toilet, made it challenging to wash your hair (or otherwise lift your arms) without spraying water on the toilet paper." The tub and toilet were so close to each other that you kind of have to swing your legs in to position rather than walking into position. You may actually want to sit sideways on the toilet... There is no shower curtain and water was going everywhere, so while I was showering, my husband held a towel up to try and prevent getting water on everything (even though it is a tiled room) and then I did the same for him when he showered. The AC/heater unit worked great and was a steady fan noise that was calming at night.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this QUIET PEACEFUL hotel and we will stay there again to avoid staying in Yakima. The check out/in process was simple. The rooms were simple and clean. The owners are kind, helpful, and polite and their dog Tony is a lover!! If you are looking for the Hilton or even a Comfort Inn this is not your place.
The Sticky Fingers bakery which they also own/run is FANTASTIC!! While in town, we enjoyed dining at Van's Tavern and Nier the Nook as well. They are all in the same block as the hotel and we had great experiences at each. If you are in the mood, there is also a taproom on the same road, but we did not make it there on our visit. read more
