Thought it might retain the charm it had a few years ago. It did not, and Ephrata has become a red, white and blue blight. No thanks! We spent our trip at Soap Lake instead.

The room rate that was booked was $65. Upon check-in, I was charged a room rate of $89. It took several minutes to clear that up during check-in.

Tenant/owner was extremely rude. We could only book here because there was nothing left, were double charged for the room and then another charge later in the day we checked out. Do not recommend. Owner was pounding on the door at 9am to check out, even though check out is at 11am.

The desk clerk said he did not have my reservation. That I was not in the system. When I asked if a room was available only a more expensive room was available. I did not stay.

Disgusting room!

This room had not been cleaned in months, it was unbelievable to see the amount of accumulated dust! Not counting there was mold in the bathroom. I was not expecting a luxury room but certainly always expect a room to be clean. There was no way I was going to stay, no way! We left 30 minutes after checking in, drove 1 hour to Wanatchee for a much better place.

Yikes!

The building is very run down and falling apart. The vibe is creepy. Can hear all of the street noise loudly all night as well as a train behind the building passing by several times. Heard a customer yelling at someone working there outside, causing a scene. Could hear the sound in the rooms below and around. Found 3 pubic hairs on the toilet seat when we first arrived. Kind of cold and didn’t feel safe there. Tv is old and the remote was falling apart and barely worked. Lamps old and falling apart. Not enough light sources. No trash can. Not enough pillows. Scared to ask for another. Toilet is a weak flusher. Towels too small. However, the shower water stayed warm. The sheets smelled clean. These are the only good things I can think of.

Reasonably priced property, but in need of multiple upgrades & updates to overall property. Keys are old fashioned actual keys—not key cards. Check in person had very limited English abilities. Place was clean and I would stay there again, but I would adjust my expectations accordingly.

Honestly this is the kind of place you go to if you’re looking for a cheap option that isn’t gonna give you like bed bugs and rashes, but you know dang well will be a bit yucky and it’s simply cheap and convenient for whatever reason you need a hotel.
