We have always used the Oxford Suites when we visit YKM, but I thought that I'd give the Ledgestone a try, even though it's on what was the "wrong" side of town in the 90's. The property was well lit, and seemed safe, with a wise use of open landscape to prevent mischief.
The check-in was so quick that I really can't comment about attitude, before I knew it, I was walking down the hall with my key. The room was in excellent shape, with a full kitchen, [~3/4 size fridge/freezer, two burner stove, microwave and dishwasher. Nice fold-out couch. I would usually rather donate a kidney than use the fold-out, but my granddaughter and DiL won the toss, and Grandpa got the foldout. It was decent, which is MUCH better than they usually are. My DiL said that the bed was comfortable, sans 4 year old kicking her.
No pool and no breakfast, but about $15-20 cheaper than the Oxford Suites, but I still might go back to the Oxford with the grandkids, because the pool and proximity to the park, and bfast means more to them.
If I was on a business trip [the targeted customer for this property], this would definitely be my first pick... although I would still make sure my car had nothing of value visible in it. No desk clerk late at night. I called after hours once, and reached a security guard. Uncertain if he is on-property all night, if he is, that would be a strong plus, assuming he's not nose down in his smart phone like so many are nowadays.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write a review. I am glad to hear you would choose Ledgestone Hotel again and the accommodations were in excellent shape. Though we do not offer a pool on site, we work closely with the YMCA and offer day passes at a nominal fee. We do have a reliable security guard on-site nightly from 1030 pm - 630 am. We have not experienced much mischief on our property, but it is always nice to have the added security. Thank you again for your comments. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to Yakima!
Kindest regards,
Sara Allen
General Manager
