Clean, Modern, Quiet

We stayed in Ellensburg recently, and the Holiday Inn Express was very clean, quiet, had a welcoming staff, and a terrific continental breakfast. Our room was large, modern, and comfortable. Even though we didn't bring our pets, they were a pet friendly option with places to walk dogs.

Glad some things don’t change

I am pleased to write that I had a typical Holiday Inn Express experience in Ellensburg. The place looked fresh and new, check-in was quick and handled by a friendly and competent staff member, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there was a large assortment of tasty choices for breakfast in the morning.
