What guests think

Across reviews, Quality Inn Cle Elum-Ellensburg is a no-frills, older stop with a convenient location and generally friendly staff, but experiences vary widely with cleanliness and maintenance, thin-wall noise and nearby trains, and a simple, often underwhelming breakfast.

Rooms range from basic to spacious, with some suites offering in-room jetted tubs; however, many guests note dated decor, worn fixtures, and variable bed comfort. Amenities include easy parking and pet-friendly rooms, but there is no elevator and Wi‑Fi reliability can be spotty. Expect a straightforward, budget stay with trade-offs.

Great things: Super water pressure, good a/c, clean linens and HBO Direct TV (and several Spanish-language cable channels). But wifi was a hassle, in my opinion. But you probably won't have any problem (?) if you are an established "Choice Options" member and/or willing to pay for more mbps. Also, just a heads up: this motel has no elevator, so ask in advance if your room is upstairs if that's gonna be an issue for you. Environs not super - but hey, it's Cle Elum, off the highway. What do you expect?

Only reason we stayed here was that they accept pets at a much better price than SunCadia. The Best Western in town does not accept pets. This place has cameras and lights everywhere, impeded sleeping in the room in darkness. The room didn’t have carpet, just laminate flooring and our dogs were not a fan of it. The parking lot was well plowed, it backs up to an alley and train tracks, it was a decent place to walk dogs. I would rather stay in Ellensburg.

This hotel was exactly what we needed it to be: an easy and safe overnight stay for a weekend of playing in the snow. It’s safe, clean, and they have dog friendly rooms. It’s not going to blow your mind but if that’s what your expectation is for a hotel of this category, you’ll be sad either way. Staff was very friendly and easy to work with. If you’re doing a fast trip to cle elum where you’ll barely be in the room, this is a great spot for the price.

The lobby floor, rug, and furniture was dirty and stained. The chemical cleaner smell was stronger than usual in a hotel. It lead me to check the bed for bugs right when we entered our room. Good news, no bugs. But the walls, furniture, and bathroom door were all dirty and soiled. The carpet in the room wasn't vacuumed from what I could tell. I wiped down all the furniture with a hot rag before using it. It looks family owned and run and everyone was kind, but it wasn't clean.

our room was visibly dirty. Check your bed, ours had a pee spot on the comforter from a dog. I took photos to post on the review but it seems I cannot attach them. Room 203 is the one closet to train tracks and the train is very loud at night and they do use their train horn. Woke us up a few times throughout the night. I’d consider spending a slight amount more and get a better stay somewhere else that is actually clean, because this place simply is not.

Bathroom dirty, window screen broken, wire cover hanging from wall. And this is just by our room and side door. He showed me three other rooms, after I complained of bathroom. They are all the same. Need DEEP cleaning not just the daily wipe. Also, covering on bed frame held together with tape. And nightstand missing handle. Needs work! Huge pot holes in driveways.

Just not the standards of other Quality Inns. Not terribly clean. The front desk agent not terribly engaging. I had to ask for directions to our room. No mention of breakfast times. Breakfast was less than appealing. Waffles and Costco pastries were good. Felt that they maybe should have put the hard boiled eggs in the fridge that they had instead of the plastic pastry box and maybe put the butter out to at least be a bit soft to spread on the waffles. Screen to our room was off and lying on the ground outside the window. Just overall did not feel like it was a well taken care of property of very clean.

Bathroom was dirty, mostly the shower. There were stains on the bedspreads. Patched holes in the walls in the bathroom that were unpainted and cracking, plus another hole near the toilet only partially covered by a cover plate. Sloppy paint job with trim paint accidents left on the walls. Thin walls made for very noisy neighbors both above and to the side of us.

Room could have been cleaned a little better. Was a bit dusty. There is railroad tracks nearby so we heard a couple of trains during the night blowing their horn as well as noise from an upstairs guest who couldn’t keep their dog quiet, so it was difficult to get steady sleep.

The beds are HARD. Super uncomfortable. Would not stay here again just because of that. Convenient location in Cle Elum, but the freight train is less than 100 feet away. No shampoo or conditioner in the room. Floor was clean to look at but dirty once clean socks were worn on it for a while.

Room was pleasant and clean but the property is old and outdated. The bathroom needs serious upgrading. We were awoken by people arriving in the middle of the night on the floor above - so loud! We could hear every movement. Staff was okay but not overly kind. The prices are extremely high for such an outdated property and the only nearby place to eat (across the road) is good but soooo pricey. Breakfast was okay but not as good as similar included continental breakfast spreads at other hotels. Overall, it was good but not great

Tried to book a room with a jacuzzi tub through the Expedia app but it listed all Suites as sold out. Also called the reservation line and was told there were no suites with jacuzzi tubs. Got to the hotel and the front desk workers changed my reservation to a suite with a jacuzzi tub. They were very nice and accommodating. We usually stay here while in Cle elum and they continue to improve. We had a Fire Stick in our room so we were able to stream. There were also workers there painting and winterizing the hotel. Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to stay again.

We booked the only room that had a king bed. It says (upgraded). It lists a tub/shower combination in this room We traveled over 7 hours to get there for a wedding and arrived with just 20 minutes to change and head over to the wedding. My main issue is that there was no tub/shower, but a jacuzzi tub right next to the bed. I would never have rented a room with that, but felt I couldn't go to the reception and ask for another room as we were on such a tight schedule. I decided I could just shower the next morning standing in it using the handheld. When I turned it on this morning the hose blew apart! So I was left with kneeling in the tub to wash my hair. And the tub has a very high side, so my husband had to help me get into it. Not particularly safe for people in their 70's. No where on this site does it list a jacuzzi tub for this room. We will look for other choices if ever in Cle Elem again.

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night. We left the room clean and tidy. 24 hours later, the hotel attempted to charge my credit card 4 different times with 4 different amounts starting with $275, $150, $100 then $275 again. I contacted the hotel immediately and they told me they were charging us for smoking in the room which was an ABSOLUTE LIE! They REFUSED to stop charging us and stated they smelled smoke in the room. This hotel permits smoking outside, which means smokers are permitted on the property! What comes with smokers? The smell of smoke!!! They have several sprinklers in the room. Don't you think if we smoked in the room it would cause them to go off?!? I had to report this as fraud to my credit card company! I will never stay at a Quality Inn again!!!

I booked one room with two queen size beds for three of us, when we arrived the staff told us only two people were allowed in the room. We argued and said that is strange since there is more than enough room since it’s a double queen room. She then changed her tone and said three was allowed for a charge. Felt very much like she took us for a ride and was judging us for all wanting to stay in one room.

I booked through Expedia. When I got to the hotel went through the normal check in. Got into my room it was dirty open electrical boxes, room had a smell to it. Staff was far from inviting. This place charged my card additional $165 for blood on a comforter. I have no cuts on my body and know for a fact it wasn’t from me. The front desk was argumentative about it. Do yourself favor do not book with these people
