The property is across the street from a large truck stop, so there is a lot of truck noise. The lobby is in poor shape, and seems to have been sloppily renovated by an untalented DIYer. It made me concerned how the room might be. The check-in clerk was not the friendliest person, and was on the phone with someone who was trying to get a refund, while I and another customer were left to wait about 10 minutes to check-in. She at first gave me one room card even though two of us were staying in the room. I had to ask for a second card. Thankfully, the room was clean and tastefully decorated. The bed, a king, was very comfortable. The breakfast was all carb options, and very little available if one is trying to eat gluten-free. All-in-all, it was okay, but I probably will not choose to stay at this property again if I need a place to stay in Ellensburg.

Check in was busy (hectic for the gal) , but efficiently done ..Bravo... Units were clean , but could have used a "plug in" air freshener to keep the room smelling good , just a suggestion, small investment to make (a case of "plug-ins", to impress the Guest even more upon entering their room ( a little musty, but... to be expected for an older property.. so all good) breakfast was Great 👍, coffee was good (not to strong, not to weak 👍), it's a plus being a pet friendly place 👍.. had a good selection of snacks and drinks in the concession area, and reasonably priced as well.. At check out, DJ my front desk guy was a awesome young man and was very helpful , informative,kind and friendly.. He really made my day w our conversation... 😊... "service w a smile"...thanks DJ.. 😉👍 So...all around good stay I will make this my Spot wen I'm in Ellensburg, Yakima or Cle Elum.. 👍👍😉

Thumbs down!!

I never leave reviews but i am this time in hopes that nobody will have to experience what I did. I paid over 300 for 2 queen bed and the shower was broke so took a lot to turn on and there was a leak on the bathroom floor. I let the front attendant know and she said “I will make a note of it. “ They didn’t even try to accommodate. The breakfast was just waffles and bagels or English muffin but the bagel was very hard. Worst experience ever.
