Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bed was moderately comfortable. Rooms well-designed for storage and a separate sitting area with a TV (we got a room with two queen beds). Area around the hotel was designed more for travelers coming off the interstate—more concrete than green for sure! It was an adequate stay. No real complaints but not remarkable either.

This is a nice Holiday Inn Express. But, it’s Ellensburg so the area wasn’t great. Very scetchy motel next door, so my daughter and I didn’t feel very safe as women travelers.
