We stay here often when visiting family in Yakima and have never had an issue.

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Yakima for 2 nights.
We had a corner room that was very large. We looked onto the main street.
The room seemed recently updated. There was a nice area with a microwave and a fridge and a few shelves for our wine and snacks.
The bathroom was very nice.
The staff was probably the most impressive of all... Everyone greeted us with a smile and a "hello". The front desk was friendly and helpful when we asked for dinner recommendations as well as other information on the area.
We didn't eat in the restaurant but the kitchen staff went out of their way to provide our coffees to go when the main area had already closed down.
The hotel is within walking distance of many nice restaurants and has a wine store next door.
We will return and recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Yakima.

We only stayed here a couple of nights for business, but the same road warrior experience is found at this hotel as most of the HGIs.

Rooms are fine and could use a little updating, but are not old. The bathroom was spacious and there was good water pressure. I'm always impressed that this chain of hotel has the softest towels of any of the others I've stayed in.

My small complaints were: I drink a lot of coffee and the coffee wasn't in the lobby 24 hours (it was available at breakfast and later in the day you had to ask the restaurant and usually wait a while until one was brought out). I also mentioned to the staff one morning that the self serve coffee was out of cups and the front desk person said, "Oh. Okay." and then proceeded to go on with her paperwork. I guess she wasn't planning to bring any more out at 7:30am.

The second problem was that during our stay the underground garage parking door was being serviced and it was a challenge to find a spot in the evening. It was supposed to take an afternoon and ended up not being resolved until just before we left 2 days later.

Other than the great breakfast buffet, we didn't eat in the hotel restaurant or use the gym. The location is very central and the staff is by and large fine, but not overly exceptional.

If you like knowing exactly what you're getting by staying at a Hilton Garden Inn, this will do just fine.

This was our second stay at the HGI in Yakima and we were pleased once again. The staff is friendly and helpful in all areas from the front desk to the restaurant. We had a wonderful brunch with made to order omelettes, eggs, and french toast (complimentary through Hilton Honors), and the chef was eager to make anything you could imagine. The staff also put on the football game for us when we asked.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, and it is nice having a mini fridge. Parking was free, as was the business center (great for printing our boarding passes). The fitness center is small but well maintained. Some free weights would be a nice addition.

The warm cookies at check-in and complimentary coffee each morning was a great plus. The gift shop next door, Stems, has some wonderful items inside. Be sure to check it out.
