The air conditioning unit only cooled a little bit cooler than the outside temperature. It was more like a fan moving the air around. The complimentary breakfast was coffee, orange juice, 1 kind of super sugary cereal, individually wrapped slices of bread you could toast, and mandarine oranges. The pictures you see on the internet show a swimming pool and hot tub....neither of these exist! Also the pictures of rooms look nothing like our room which was not clean!! We'll never go back!!!!!

While the room was clean, the hotel is old. The bed was worn and lacked basic modern comfort. The room appeared to have last been updated in 1978-1982 based on finishes observed. At $191 per night this was flat out not worth it. At checkout, I was then informed that “I had two rooms” and “you better contact Expedia, or you’ll be charged an additional $383 for the unsold room under your name”. Lesson learned.

Great staff, room was overpriced and I was charged extra for my small dog. Which was never explained that I would be charged a extra fee for my dog on the Expedia website. I was informed that they had designated rooms for pets also not explained on website. My TV which had direct TV did not work. They did supply super hot coffee fresh fruit and muffins, cereal. That was nice 🙂. I just felt $133 for the room was not justified. Not a bad experience just won't stay again next time I pass through Cle Elum.

I was greeted with very short abrupt staff that made me feel like I was already judged to be of criminal element. I was informed that although they offered breakfast that part of the breakfast offerings were not available because of some sort of stock issue and when I went to get breakfast during the breakfast times on the first day there wasn't even any breakfast put out except for some milk and juice on day one. On day two they actually had breakfast but it was a meager offering at best. The room did have toiletries but inadequate towels for a party and I had to request more but was given them on request with no issue. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and I actually went to the next town which was half an hour away and purchased a pillow topper and placed it on the bed to make it tolerable for the next night. The other room itself was clean and smelled clean there was a huge stain unidentifiable on the chair you can draw your own conclusions from that one. We chose not to sit in the chair. Starting around 5:00 p.m. or so the train started running and continue to run every few hours for the rest of the evening blaring their horn at each intersection if you're okay with this have at it I don't blame the hotel for this but if you're a light sleeper I don't recommend this hotel. One plus side that I did enjoy we were on ground level and on ground level they have nice patios with a nice lawn with picnic tables and a beautiful very large very old weeping willow tree.

The inn was very poorly maintained: linen was old and felt dirty; window and screen were damaged; there was bad odor in the room. Breakfast started late and consisted of very few options. The room was exposed to significant noise, both from traffic and the nearby railway. The grounds appeared unkempt. I do not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Train runs all night every hour so no sleep, dog went crazy every time train passed, not just noisy you could feel it. Staff was very kind at check in but when got coffee and asked for hair dryer in the morning she tited n grumpy. Because of train we will not visit again.

The sheets were definitely not washed before we arrived, the shower doesn’t get even kinda hot, and the advertised breakfast was toast and apples. The ground probably has never been mopped because we spilled a little water and when we wiped it up with a towel, the towel turned black with how dirty the floor was.

Breakfast was oatmeal or toast. The room was basically clean if you didn’t look too close. Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, needed two remotes for the TV, slider had a stick in the track for security, the screen door was hanging off the slider, the bed was a brick, the toilet and counter were super short and I’m only 5’4. Dog poop wasn’t picked up, just watering the grass over it. We asked for extra towels and were given ripped up towels. The lighting was horrible, could hardly see yourself in the mirror. There was a deadbolt and chain on our room door, what kind of things happen there?

The room and setting was great but the staff and their desire to make the stay good was very poor. When people were having trouble with the coffee maker the attendant behind the desk just sat there playing on her phone. The breakfast was supposed to consist of fruit as well as the instant oatmeal and toast, but when asked where it was the attendant replied that they had run out., sorry excuse when a grocery store is just up the street. Stayed two nights and same story the second morning as well. Staff at the facility were very lazy and didn't do anything to make the stay one I would like to do again. Too bad because the room was nice and would like to have made it a regular stop on my travels too the area.
