We really like the creek (more of an irrigation ditch) behind the hotel as a very peaceful place to smoke or just hang out.

Many things needed updating but the rooms were clean at least.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Room was clean and staff were friendly. Hotel is a little old and dated. When we went the pool and gym were closed, which disappointed our kids. Breakfast was a simple continental with waffles as the warm option. All in all I would say 3/5 for a 3 star hotel it is rated as and 4/5 if it were a 2 star hotel.

This is a fairly old property that has been maintained adequately. The lobby and common areas and hallways were fairly dated and rundown, but I found the room to be very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was standard issue; nothing spectacular, but certainly clean. The staff was incredibly responsive, friendly and knowledgeable and in the end, I was just grateful to obtain a room during what was a very busy weekend due to a concert nearby.

Clean, warm, quiet, affordable room. Friendly staff. Safe. Breakfast was sparse...with hard boiled eggs the only protein option, and orange juice out of order.

Verified review

6/10 Good

While the room was clean and king sized bed comfortable, the bathroom was very small and cramped, with no exhaust fan, which left it hot and humid. We missed the complimentary breakfast due to a misunderstanding about the cut-off time. We only needed basic accommodations for an overnight stay in Ellensburg, so it met those qualifications. It just felt tired, and a bit run down - like it had seen better days. For those seeking more upscale accommodations and amenities, look elsewhere.

4/10 Fair

Online photos do not show the actual condition of this property. In real time, the hotel is in desperate need of upgrades- deep cleaning, painting, better breakfast options, and having a pool that is actually open. My room smelled of cigarette smoke, but the sheets and bed were okay. The staff were relatively friendly depending on who you were engaging. Parking was okay if you arrived earlier than check in. I have no plans to return given how overpriced the experience was.

Staff was really great. The TV was a wonderful size and because we had an unexpected added day because our niece team won district volleyball championship we needed another day and they were so accommodating we didn't even have to change rooms for the extra day!
Verified review

4/10 Fair

We had a later check in and the person at the front desk was not helpful. They did not provide a receipt, share the check out time, or any other information. The room was fine and did its job for the short night we were there, although the bathroom seemed to have not been cleaned thoroughly. The shower had personal toiletries and used washcloths on the side of the tub.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff were very helpful and efficient. The condition of the property is not good, and because of that, I would not stay here again. I’ve noticed in the past few years that many hotels seem to have completely abandoned regular maintenance and updates to the premises; that was definitely the case here. While the room was clean, it was dated and in disrepair (furniture scratched/dented, bathroom door looks like a dog scratched it, bathroom ceiling fixture off kilter with hole in ceiling, shower unpredictable -you could take a boiling shower or a scalding shower). If I’m going to pay $200+/night, I want to stay somewhere that feels nicer than my own home.

The hotel was clean inside but outside the landscaping and lack of signage made it feel deserted. The rooms were clean and beds great,
