Only complaints I have are, no coffee in room and water pressure in shower was almost non existent. All staff that I interacted with were very welcoming and friendly. There are several restaurants within walking distance with a wide variety of food. Service at the uptown grill was horrible and we actually walked out. If I am ever in the Yelm area again, I would stay here.
