No amenities except hot coffee at entrance. No breakfast. Room gets cleaned every three days so no fresh cups and trash fills up fast. But you can put in a request for service. Front desk service was very nice.

This little hotel is an oasis on the doorstep of Mt. Rainier. The chamber has it going on, as the hotel is adjacent to the newly built dinner theater. The staff is friendly, the location is great and the rooms are clean, the location is quiet.

This was one of my favorite properties we stayed at during our two week trip. Tarna at the front desk is a gem! She was so friendly, helpful and personable. The layout of the property is very cool with a lot to offer. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and this is the first time I have received a handwritten welcome note! So sweet! Pros-beds are super soft and rooms are very clean, they have a binder that tells about the area and all the things the hotel and town have to offer, movie theater and dining on property, food options close by too Cons--there is a deposit which was not shown on their Hotels.com listing but it dropped off quickly, food options seemed to close early nearby which is typical for a smaller town but not always great when you are traveling.

Rooms were spacious and had vaulted ceilings making it feel larger. Beds were comfortable but could use more pillows. Staff was friendly. Lobby does smell a bit like smoke but our room was fine. Only complaint about the room was showers were very loud and sound of noise would wake someone if waking a different times. The community was clean and family friendly with good parks and great coffee shops. I would use this facility again.

Prairie Hotel is wonderful! I was so pleased with every aspect. The room was very spacious, very clean, smelled really nice and such a comfortable and good sleep :) I also appreciated the complimentary coffee bar and the fresh fruit infused water. Check in was nice and easy. The location is great as it’s in the middle of town and close to everything .You get so much more here compared to other hotels around the same price and so comfortable. Will definitely come back 👍

The hotel furnishings are noticeably dated compared to the photos, and the musty smell of the carpet puts a damper on the overall experience. Room service was nonexistent. On a positive note, the availability of coffee in the lobby throughout the day was a thoughtful touch.

We stayed here on a last minute (same-day) booking and we were very pleasantly surprised. The room here is as good or better than any room that I've ever stayed in. On the 3rd floor there are high, vaulted ceilings, classy artwork and decor, and everything was clean and comfortable. On top of that, we received a hand written note to welcome us for our stay (how many hotels do that?). And also, we had a glorious view of Mount Rainier out our window.

The manager at the front desk was very helpful and gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and bicycle rentals (we were in town to ride the scenic Chehalis Western and Yelm-Tenino bike trails).

I chose this location as a halfway point between Mt Rainier NP and SeaTac and for that purpose, it worked out well. The property was clean and quiet. Check in was wonky though; I purchased through Expedia and when the check in guy mentioned I was a local, we figured out my information wasn’t correct. They didn’t have my information in the system and essentially had to re-enter my address, phone and email. And then when we got into the room, there was a card in the bed welcoming ‘David’ and neither myself nor my husband are named David. I can only assume David got a room with a card welcoming me. But checkin took 10 minutes longer than it should have. And please note that there is not a coffee maker in the room; they do have coffee available at all times just outside the lobby but it’s pretty standard. Don’t miss Bertoglios for pizza. And we did the 507 taproom and used the room card for 10% off.

We stayed here for an overnight trip to attend a wedding in Roy. Very easy check in, front staff welcoming and accommodating. Very spacious room, everything was clean and no surprises - it was the room we expected from our booking. The was a lovely hand written note on the bed welcoming us! Nice amenities in the room, and in the morning went to the lobby for free coffee. The property overall was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Easy checkout in the morning too. Great breakfast spot across the street at Mr Dougs Restaurant. Definitely recommend if you need to stay in Roy/Yelm.

But checkin took 10 minutes longer than it should have. And please note that there is not a coffee maker in the room; they do have coffee available at all times just outside the lobby but it’s pretty standard. Don’t miss Bertoglios for pizza. And we did the 507 taproom and used the room card for 10% off.

No amenities except hot coffee at entrance. No breakfast. Room gets cleaned every three days so no fresh cups and trash fills up fast. But you can put in a request for service. Front desk service was very nice.

Staff was very friendly and room was clean and felt great. Temp control was perfect, we never felt too hot or cold. Linens were nice and clean. Super easy to get around town and/or walk to a bar for a night cap. Only two critiques were the shower made a pretty loud squelling noise when shower was turned on. And no continental breakfast. I would be willing to pay extra a night for a breakfast. Overall a great experience with sleeping 4, including 2 young kids. Will definitely stay again.

This was one of my favorite properties we stayed at during our two week trip. Tarna at the front desk is a gem! She was so friendly, helpful and personable. The layout of the property is very cool with a lot to offer. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and this is the first time I have received a handwritten welcome note! So sweet! Pros-beds are super soft and rooms are very clean, they have a binder that tells about the area and all the things the hotel and town have to offer, movie theater and dining on property, food options close by too Cons--there is a deposit which was not shown on their Hotels.com listing but it dropped off quickly, food options seemed to close early nearby which is typical for a smaller town but not always great when you are traveling.

We stayed here for an overnight trip to attend a wedding in Roy. Very easy check in, front staff welcoming and accommodating. Very spacious room, everything was clean and no surprises - it was the room we expected from our booking. The was a lovely hand written note on the bed welcoming us! Nice amenities in the room, and in the morning went to the lobby for free coffee. The property overall was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Easy checkout in the morning too. Great breakfast spot across the street at Mr Dougs Restaurant. Definitely recommend if you need to stay in Roy/Yelm.

Prairie Hotel is wonderful! I was so pleased with every aspect. The room was very spacious, very clean, smelled really nice and such a comfortable and good sleep :) I also appreciated the complimentary coffee bar and the fresh fruit infused water. Check in was nice and easy. The location is great as it’s in the middle of town and close to everything .You get so much more here compared to other hotels around the same price and so comfortable. Will definitely come back 👍

Considering it is the only decent hotel in the area, it's the only place I stay when visiting my son who has been stationed at JBLM for a few years. It's a comfortable hotel, good late check in if needed and comfortable. I recommend the hotel if you're in the Yelm area.

What an incredible find conveniently located off the main road in Yelm. Amber checked me in and she was very friendly and professional. Our room was quiet and quite spacious. Bed was comfortable but would have preferred bigger size pillows. Various eateries close by and they were quite good!
