Hotels near Yakima Air Terminal (McAllister Field) - YKM, Yakima

We only go to Yakima to visit family, otherwise we would not choose Yakima as a destination. At least now there are a few restaurants that are not bad. We ate at Waterfire a couple of times, which was fairly consistent and rather good quality food. We also ate at Cowiche Kitchen a couple of times, with mixed results. The lodging seems and has always seemed overpriced considering the location. Owen Roe winery is just out of town past Union Gap, and I consider this the high point of any trip to Yakima. The local museum is interesting and has varied exhibits. It's adjacent to a large public park with a seasonal swimming pool, tennis courts, and a large play area for kids. It's next to one of the middle schools. Yakima is slowly slowly gentrifying, or rather less skeevy than it has been historically. Of all the places to go in Washington state, I'd say Yakima is very low on my list of "must see" places.

Depending on where you stay in Yakima it can be very beautiful. The wine and beer scene is up and coming. I think this is attracting a younger crowd. But the fishing, boating, and camping still has a strong following. If you are coming for either, this place will fit your needs.

There are some great wineries near Yakima, which was the reason we were in the area. I had never been to this area, though, and didn't realize how seedy some of the downtown is. If going out there again, I would opt to stay somewhere outside the city.

A night there was robbed. I tried to book for an extra day instead when I went to go get the cash to pay them I came back to finding out that they had called the cops say that I left all my children there and that I need to pick them up and anyways the cops had left before I got there because I only left my older child there and they fall asleep reported me to CPS CPS dropped everything because it was a false report however they charged me $50 for a late checkout fee when I wasn't checking out I had booked another extra day and I went to go get the money for it I had found out they called the cops on me for leaving my one son and falsely accused me for leaving All My Children. The night was supposed to cost me $72 instead they made me leave and pay $50 for Life checkout fees. I don't know how this kind of people could live with themselves I don't think they're on any kind of drugs so it's pretty sad that they're that bad of people and they're just bad people not even drug addicts. God will take care of them

The Red Lion Inn was an absolute disaster, the room we booked with a kitchenette reeked of cat urine, so they put us in a much smaller room (for the same price) that also smelled terrible...with no offer of a refund we checked into another hotel. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & NEVER STAY IN YAKIMA

We came to Yakima with our senior marching band for a parade and was happy to see the big crowds and welcoming people. We actually saw gas for $3.89 a gallon. We only spent one night, so we didn't get to see much of Yakima. It seemed like a nice town with equally nice people
