Econo Lodge Ellensburg

It was decent for the price we paid, but as the negative points I mentioned, those were minor issues.

Liked: They let us check out at a later time and had free parking and breakfast!
Disliked: There were bugs in the bed when we got there, however we were too tired to complain so we just took off the sheet and slept on the blankets. There was also food left in the fridge that wasn't ours, and I'm not sure how long it had been there.

Extremely good value but wifi...

Liked: Staff were friendly and fast. Very clean room with a comfortable bed. Decent breakfast of expected offerings--waffles, cereal, instant oatmeal, various muffins, apples. Directly off I90, but not noisy. Only a few minute drive to downtown and campus.
Disliked: Would have rated the stay higher, but the wifi is abysmal. So bad that instead of browsing, I...read a book!

For a quick one night...

Liked: Easily accessible from the interstate.
Disliked: The bathroom fixture are very old.

Very good

Will not be returning.

Liked: This property has a decent location to town. It is right off the freeway and close to gas stations, grocery stores and a lake.
Disliked: The room was terrible. It was dirty, paint was coming off the walls, carpets had stains in them, the door knobs were falling off the closet door and we couldn’t even open the closet and there was no outlets in our room near the bathroom… the only outlet that worked in the entire room was the one connected to the night stand. This was brought up with the front desk and we were given an extension cord. It was a busy weekend in ellensburg for event so we paid almost $400 and couldn’t even plug anything in like a hair dryer. When I talked to the front desk the next morning she advised I should have never been given an extension cord because it’s a safety issue and we should have been placed in a new room. She also mentioned our room had just been placed back in service and that they had just done a bunch of work to it, which obviously was a lie

good

Liked: location, bus accessibility

Good

It has a bed to...

Liked: It had a bed...
Disliked: Starting from the top this place was way too expensive, it's as almost as if we were robbed at gunpoint for the price for a one-night stay. rated at 235+ extra fees if applicable. I get that this "motel" has a monopoly on the area as it's one of the only hotels near the area but the price did not reflect the stay. The Room we got was a room; it had two beds and a bathroom. Nothing special but was special was the nice urine smell that was everywhere in the room. Legit the floors almost felt wet that I walked around in my shoes and even slept in them as I didn't want to walk in the room without shoes. No shampoo or shower gel at all. The air conditioner kept turning off even though the room was quite hot and never reached stable temperature. The wifi...dont even call it wifi. it was utterly useless. 2 bars with no connection. I just simply hot spotted through my phone, it was faster and better. Entry doors condition was also a hoot as it appears it has been previously bashed in before by police or a jealous boyfriend, but that checks out in a cheap "motel". The breakfast should just be called "Fast" as there was absolutely nothing except for maybe room temperature coffee and stale cereal that hasn't been changed in months. This stay was legit one of the worst "motel" experiences ever and they were charging an obscene amount as if it's a Hilton or a 4-star hotel. Get over yourselves. I would ideally want to request a partial refund, but I don't think that would ever happen. Long story short...it has a bed.

Good

Full of contradictions

Liked: The bed was very comfortable and the bedding good quality. The ac worked great.
Disliked: The grounds were really rough and badly tended. Housekeeping staff was friendly but front desk staff (2 different individuals) were not. Ice dispenser provided 1/2 bucket full and that was it, seemingly forever . . . A hole in wall has been filled but not painted, this white disc in taupe wall. Needs a pet space in the back; only grassy spot is in front and tiny.
