FairBridge Hotel & Conference Center Yakima

As always a great & safe place to stay with a free Breakfast

Very interesting establishment in that it is somewhat of a relic of a more ambitious time - a grand motel with lots of facilities that usually aren't provided anymore.

We only stopped because we were too tired to continue driving to Ellensburg. The online description lead us to believe the hotel was at least 3 stars. When we arrived, it was surrounded by a chain link fence and we initially thought it was not even open for business. After careful inspection, we realized you can get past the fence. There was a recent vomit incident in the main entrance to our room block. The smell was horrible. There was an internal stagg sign in the office that read something like "Dear Maid Service Staff, There are NO guaranteed weekends off as per Robin (possibly a manager??). If you have a problem with this, go seek employment elsewhere". To us, this is a huge red flag as disgruntled staff are less likely to take care of guests. I would hope the management or owners of the hotel read this and can rectify the problem. The staff, despite being under-staffed, were actually very pleasant and tried to help us. Kudos! My partner and I are vegetarian. The breakfast buffet had bacon in with the eggs. They are not aware some people do not eat animals (nothing against those who do, but staff should prepare to serve both). The WIFI was unusable. It took over 4 minutes just to load a 98 KB home page for Google. Nothing else ever bore results. Overall, I would not recommend this to anyone. For less money, the hotel 6 or other budget brands can offer the same thing.

This place was so horrible from the check in on. First of all no one was at front counter, then some tweaker looking guy came out from the back & said the person was somewhere. a few minutes later some tweaker looking girl came to the counter & took probably 15 minutes to check us in. The area just reaked of tweaker looking people. Windows in the room were broken. Beds worn out. If i could have cancelled, I would have.

All good
