At check in, no one was present at the desk so I rang the bell. The agent came out of the back, looked at the floor and picked something up, went back, proceeded to vacuum the back office, then start vaccuming the lobby all while I was standing there. Once checked in, we went to the room to find there was no soap in the room (by the sink or in the shower). We went to the desk to purchase a soda and get soap. After a search, we were informed they were out of soap in the hotel. At breakfast the following morning, we got down about 45 minutes after service started and, though there were waffles, there was no syrup. There were a few other minor issues, but the room itself was ok. Prior to our actual check in, we did stop to try to check in early (about 1pm). The room wasn't ready (totally fine and expected). The lady working was very helpful and friendly and responded to the bell immediately.

We stayed here for my son’s baseball tournament and had a pretty mixed experience. Parking was a plus, plenty of space and easy access. Location was also great, about five minutes from anywhere in Ellensburg, which made getting around really convenient. Check-in didn’t start great. There were signs on the counter saying the pool was closed for the season and the fitness room was under remodel. The pool was a big reason we booked through Expedia, especially with four kids under 11, so that was frustrating and should’ve been disclosed upfront. While waiting, another guest was checked into an already occupied room, which made things feel pretty disorganized. Room was clean enough but had issues. Showerhead had heavy mineral buildup, faucet was water-stained, toilet ran all night, and the sink was clogged. Linens seemed clean, but the window was dirty with water stains and what looked like mildew. From the outside, the place felt closed or uninviting. Inside was just average. Overall, okay for a basic stay, but lack of transparency about amenities was disappointing.

Front desk person was personable and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the room was VERY cold, with an ineffective heater, there was no TV service available, and outside lighting in the front of the building was practically nonexistent. It was difficult to even see the driveway into the parking lot. Definitely not the quality I’ve become accustomed to from Red Lion.
