We found the quality inn after liiking for a place close to Miner burger in Yakima. The room while a bit outdated was clean and the bed nice. The only noise was from the extremely loud air conditioner.

We stayed at the Quality Inn Yakima for one night in June 2011. It's quite a distance from the main downtown area of Yakima and it's actually in a Suburb called Union Gap.

Our main purpose of staying here was to break up a very long drive. The staff were pleasant the rooms OK.

There was an outdoor swimming pool on site but this was closed for the day whilst we were there. However, (and may be this was why it was close) the pool water looked quite dirty.

We got a good price for the room and whilst there was nothing significantly wrong with this hotel it was one of the worst we stayed at during our vacation of the USA & Canada. If we were in the area again we would probably choose somewhere else.

We have stayed at this Quality Inn many times over the past decade or so. About 3 years back it started to decline in quality. The slide has been dramatic. Now it is a place we will no longer utilize. I would characterize our room as downright filthy. There was some sort of black mold behind the door moldings that hasn't been cleaned out in ages. The entry door on the inside needs to be scrubbed. The bedspread had three cigarette burn holes; it needs to be replaced. The toilet bowl hasn't had a good scrubbing in ages; it has filthy stains. The floor tile grout is black with filth. There are yellow stains on dirty walls. A lamp shade was disintegrating. There were cobwebs in the room. And whoever does the maintenance is horrible: there is unfinished maintenance throughout the room (front door; wall where headboard was moved; grout sealer in the bathroom and sink areas).

My options were limited on a busy summer weekend in Yakima. This motel certainly met my needs for clean, comfortable accommodations at a fair price.

That said, this would never be my first or second choice for places to stay in Yakima (actually it's in Union Gap.) The main problem is that there is always only one desk attendant on staff, but it is a fairly large motel that was at capacity on this weekend. I had made reservations, but my room hadn't been made up even though I was arriving at 9:30 in the evening. The clerk has very competent and understanding, but there was literally no other staff person on site who could help check in the steady stream of people checking in, and no one else around to make up the room. I was given another room but then had to move to a third room for the second night of my stay. I got a nice discount on the bill and was moved to a better room than what I had booked, but I was not happy with the delay and the hassle.

The rooms were clean and comfortable but showing a combination of age and shoddy construction. My second room had a faint smell of cigarette smoke despite it being a non-smoking room. Free wifi worked well, which is very important to me. The inadequate lighting is unfortunately fairly typical of the inexpensive motels I have been staying in lately.
