We stayed in Ellensburg recently, and the Holiday Inn Express was very clean, quiet, had a welcoming staff, and a terrific continental breakfast. Our room was large, modern, and comfortable. Even though we didn't bring our pets, they were a pet friendly option with places to walk dogs.

The overall stay was good. I would stay again. The layout of the double Queen was standard and the bathroom was a good size. Included two makeup wipes, hand soap and lotion, shampoo and conditioner, body wash. Microwave, mini fridge, single cup Keurig. Breakfast was decent with nice options. The beds were on the softer side and was squeaky getting in and out of both of them. I do check the sheets for anything and there were multiple pieces of hair on both beds. So not sure about how well the cleaning actually is. Otherwise, enjoyed the stay.

Deep cleaning needed for the rooms, dust under desks/furniture was thicker than I would have expected. Lots of hand sanitizing stations all over the hotel, all empty or dead batteries. Seemed strange. The breakfast provided was nice and varied. And the staff was quick to clean up and sanitize after guests ate and departed. Overall a good stay, just some minor details in cleaning that could use attention.

Staff offered to move us to anouther room, but we had unpacked & we just sanitized the window ledge & threw away the food. Over all would still return to the hotel. Cheers

The rooms were disgusting and filthy. There was a sticky substance all over the floor- to the point our socks stuck to the carpet. A spill of some sort of goo was on the nightstand, and there were actual dirt and pubic hairs all over the floor of the shower. The bathroom sink was dirty as well. The whole room was absolutely filthy.

Hotel was nice and smelt clean. Staff at check in was very nice, she helped us a couple of times. Pool was clean. Only thing is that our rooms heater squeaked the entire time it was on. I usually wouldn’t have minded but the weekend we were there was very cold outside and when you turn the heater off, it did get cold in the room. They did offer to change our room so they did accommodate and again were very friendly.

They were willing to give us a room away from the elevators when we checked in and most importantly, Izzy, from housekeeping, found all of our sons treasured stuffed animals hidden under the covers after we had checked out and set them aside for us. We realized we had forgotten them as we were leaving town and were able to pick them up, avoiding heartbreak for our five year old. Thank you!!

I booked a room with 2 double beds but upon arrival was told that wasn’t in my request and they had a kind bed for the 4 of us!!! 😳 Front desk staff helpful to move around as the hotel was full. Hotel breakfast was great With a wide variety of food items to choose from and Hot and fresh. Would stay here again!!

The noise factor in this hotel was absolutely awful!!! There were people and kids running around until after midnight even after alerting the front desk! Nothing was done,.that is NOT customer service. The bed was uncomfortable and pillows flat. The bathroom had no fan, who builds a bathroom with no fan! I was charged $60 for my dog to stay 2 nights and given a hard time by the front desk person that i should have notiifed them not expedia when booked please note to pet parents! The website site said $10 night. I will not be back!!!! To bad because Holiday Inn Express are pretty reliable but not his one! Buyer be ware

Good value, room was nice, hotel was quiet, and bed was very comfortable. They had added an additional air conditioner to our 3rd floor room in advance of the 97 degree day we were there, which was thoughtful. Breakfast was great and all the staff were quite friendly. It's a very short drive to the lovely historic downtown area and the CWU campus, we enjoyed looking around both as we were in town for a wedding. We enjoyed the Sat am farmers market and would definitely stay here again.
