My family and I were there for a baseball tournament. It was a place to sleep. There was a hand print on the bed frame and housekeeping tends to leave cleaning half done. The continental breakfast, we thought was a plus. However, we found out that what was offered was fine for a quick snack, but not for pregame meal. We woke up one morning to find a vehicle outside our door with three women sleeping in it, and one afternoon we came back to find our room door wide open, the cleaning cart outside but no staff. Anyone could have walked in and taken somthing.something. while we were not expecting much, we did expect to feel safe and it to be clean. Both were questionable.

I suppose mostly it was fine. Was surprised by the deposit required. The staff was friendly, and the room was clean. Don't think I lowered the temperature on the air conditioning enough, but it seemed to work. Couldn't figure out the TV. It and the HDMI box turned on. Meaning it appeared fine but couldn't access anything else with the remote: no channels, apps, inputs, and the arrows wouldn't cycle through anything. Looked in the book that was in the room, but there was no helpful information. Decided not to contact the office since it was after midnight when we checked-in.

I am rating the experience commensurate with the price, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. Even so, it was a disappointing experience, with nothing positive, except that the front desk person did all he could to make things as good as possible. I'm a forgiving traveler, but this wasn't a good place to stay. The location and the back lot raised concerns. Even the motel name, Econo Lodge Ellensburg Near University, is misleading; there is nowhere near the University. This was the main selling point for us, as we were visiting the campus. The coffee was overcooked, and we passed on the rest.

The pictures of this hotel are amazing because they looked clean. We have named this the murder hotel since it was that creepy. Looking at the crime blotter in the local paper is really all the background info you need. The only thing this place would be good for is a low budget remake of the Shining.

We have dubbed this the murder hotel. The minute we drove up we felt scared. Even when the hotel refused to give us a refund we didn't stay here and I am so glad we didn't. Learn from us, no matter the price of the other hotels, how good they make the pictures look, or how many times you have stayed with their affiliates, choose life and get another booking. The only thing this hotel is good for is a low budget remake of the shining.

The breakfast menu was very basic. packaged oatmeal, coffee, toast, cereal, waffle maker. No pastries or eggs. The room was clean and the bed comfortable but the lamp shades had holes and looked like they were broken. The in wall heater did not seem to have a controller for the fan and when it unit came on it forced a large blast of air all the way across the room. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Comically oversized furniture (desk, dresser) on other side of bed, making it very tight to get through to other side of room. Needs basic repairs: baseboard nearly falling off in various areas, entrance door needs weather-stripping (large gaps around door/doorframe making it possible to see/hear outside from inside of room), soap dispenser in bathtub empty and broken, sink plug missing, tub faucet knob shows wrong direction of hot and cold water. No soap in room upon arrival, but front desk staff was polite and was able to find some in housekeeping closet.

Breakfast: It's the same everyday. Store bought mini pastries, basic cereal, breads with spreads, waffles, yogurts, tiny apples, a juice bar (the juices were questionable quality).

Wifi: Very weak. Disconnects randomly. Not usable for Zoom calls as an example.

Outlets: Outdated. Using the Microwave caused the TV to shut off and reboot. Outlets in the lamps were damaged and unusable. Fire hazard for sure. No outlets near our bed otherwise. Had to stretch a 10 foot charging cable to the bathroom for my phone.

Lights: Not all lightbulbs are the same. Some are yellow. Some are painfully bright LEDs.

Bed: Sheets and Blankets were too small for our king size bed. They know it too as when they make the bed, they use more blanket on one side to make the room more presentable when you first walk in, leaving the other side with only enough blanket to cover the top but not the side. Outside of that, the bed was so very comfortable. Medium soft. Had wonderful sleep!

Pillows: They were okay. Stuffed with cheap fluff that did not hold a shape. The pillow slips were clean. But the pillows themselves were covered in various stains.

Bathroom: Our toilet paper holder was missing, so we had to have our tp on the floor or on the bathtub wall. Very thin sheets. Pipes were very loud after flushing. The door was previously damaged and it barely held on. You could see the screws pulling out of the damaged frame. Everything else was functional. Nothing fancy.

Soundproofing is non-existent.

The staff were really nice. The property is run down but the beds were comfy. The drains in the sink and shower were slow. The shower curtain and towels and linens were all in their last legs. They allow transport trucks to park overnight in the parking lot in front of the rooms and they were loudly idling all night long. You can clearly hear all the traffic and people going by. The outside lights were bright and came through the curtains. They offered breakfast just note it’s really sugary and carb loaded. Waffles, cereal/instant oatmeal packs, breads and donuts, and some yogurt. If you need a cheap place to sleep and you’re exhausted, it’ll do the trick.
