Decent room but terrible internet
I was pleased at first as this place felt a little larger than the last place. The vanity area was large enough to spread toiletries out. The internet service was essentially non existent. The three lamps in the room all had outlets. None of them worked. The only working outlet was right next to the sink. A breaker must have tripped as the lights went out over the sink.

I was there for a cwu graduation. I originally booked 2 nights and had no trouble calling before 2 and cancelling the second night.
The bed was hard but the room was clean. The amenities around Ellensburg were lovely.

Rooms smell like cigarette smoke. Don't spend extra money on a lake view, the vegetation is overgrown, you won't see it.

No coffee maker, but has a fridge and microwave. Typical motel. At almost $150, it's overpriced.
