My name is Laura Pitman and I got married June 28th, 2008 (last Saturday). My mother-in-law was nice enough to rent us a room at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Yakima, WA to spend our wedding night. During the wedding reception, two of my bridesmaids snuck off and bought 2 dozen roses, some candles and some chocolates to surprise us... more

We don't really know where to start? So I guess we will just be truthful to anyone who reads this and contemplates returning or using this hotel again.

The number one thing that this hotel lacked was communication. In the central website it notes that continental breakfast is included. As a matter of fact,... more

My family has stayed here through various ownerships of this hotel for the past 8 years. Each time we return we are pleased with the value. We mainly come for pool time, and often request the ground floor rooms with the grassy area in front and direct access to pool. The rooms have always been clean, if basic. We often... more

I arrived at nearly 11 pm, having made a reservation several hours earlier. I was sent to a room upstairs in "the annex," and lugged my 100 pounds of conference materials and luggage about a block and up some stairs (no elevator). The room was a mess: bed not made, sheets, blankets, and pillows strewn about. I called the front... more
