Search Best Hotels in Ellensburg

As I get older, long freeway trips with a handicapped spouse often means ”stopping somewhere along the way”. Our itinerary put us in the Yakima/Ellensburg WA area for a stopover. So, I booked a 1-night stop at the TownePlace Suites in Ellensburg based on other TripAdvisor recommendations. The hotel is quite new, and very stylish. It is easy to reach from the freeway and has many features that I really enjoyed. When you walk in, you are greeted immediately by a friendly desk clerk who makes you feel personal and welcome. They are set up for travelers and know how tired you are when you arrive. After check-in we immediately decompressed in the hotel's bar with a couple of drinks and some excellent pub food. We did not have to leave the hotel to find a place to eat. The service was excellent. It was fast, friendly, and helpful. There are seating areas outside around a firepit and large gas BBQs that can be used by guests. Afterwards, we went up to the room, and although it was in the noisiest location of any hotel (immediately across from the elevators and ice machine), inside the room it was VERY quiet. Our room (#215) was spacious, clean, and well laid out. It had a full kitchenette for longer stays. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was big enough to hold many people. My only complaint with the bathroom was that there were no grab-bars at the toilet making it difficult for handicapped people to use it safely. When I noted this at the desk during checkout, they said they DO have ADA accessible rooms at the hotel, and the next time you book to request one. Don't expect a view from your room. There isn't anything great to see in either direction except for a glorious sunrise/sunset. Expect comfort and quiet instead. The hotel had a European boutique vibe that made it so refreshing from any of the standard room-and-pool hotels you find. Everyone wanted to help you and did everything they could to accommodate. Breakfast in the lobby was excellent and filling with a variety of quality options. I really liked this small and scrappy hotel. I recommend it to overnight travelers and those who need to stay in Ellensburg for several days, and I will use it again when I take on another Washington State road trip.

Room was ready a little early. Room was very clean. Pool was wonderful since it was 101 degrees in Ellensburg. We accidently left behind a piece of clothing and the hotel contacted us about pickup which was much appreciated. Breakfast looked great (but we didn't partake). We saw that a team of young women were on our floor, but did not hear a peep from them or any doors opening and closing. Air conditioner worked well and was NOT loud.

Got there a little late i suppose after 8 on a friday night that apparently was a full house night. Had reserved one of the bigger rooms with a sofa seating area and only one left when i got there was on first floor right next to lobby and the gym and the breakfast area which at first i thought might be a disadvantage. I mean it was in terms of any view out the window on first floor, but facing the hotel across the narrow parking row between the hotels wasn't much of a view for anyone on this side of hotel. When we arrived the room smelled, not sure why it was mildew but something else, called in the hotel operator this evening, sorry i don't have name, but he immediately noticed it. Some people working at this places would of acted like the customer was wrong, but he got it. He had no other rooms to offer but tried to help by bringing in some deodorizer scent spray and he reduced the rate due to not being able to fix issue completely. We appreciated the attempt and overall the room was great and nice and clean, no idea about why the odor was so well not good. But, the beds were comfortable, we loved the two tv set up and the room had so much more to offer. Cost had been a bit high to be honest but apparently, it was a very popular weekend here the last weekend in August. In any case, appreciated the managing of the issue, and had a good night sleep, the noise from hallway was less than i suspected it would be actually was more noise form parking lot in morning than in hallway. But overall would stay again if in area and recommend it.

We were grateful to get a room when our trip was suddenly halted by the pass closing. The room was nice, clean and bed was good. BUT, for anyone who is concerned with wearing a mask due to covid - this is not necessarily the place you want to be. The front desk at night wasn't wearing a mask and the front desk in the morning was using her mask as a chin warmer. Half the maids wore mask, the others didn't. We didnt see any guest so I cannot comment on that, but thought some folks would like to be aware of their practice.

The location of the hotel is convenient. Gas station and restaurant nearby. My husband and I we are in room 114. The room smelled old and the carpet is clean but it look dirty. The bathroom floor always wet make it smell bad even it clean. We can hear the guests next room when they turn on and turn off water that how thin the wall is. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning is working but very lousy. Breakfast was very limited of choice, English muffins, toast, apple, juice and coffee.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel! We stopped on our way from Yellowstone to Mt Rainier and searched en route. Our room was clean and spacious, the bed was very comfortable. All employees were very polite and helpful. If we’re ever in this area again we will certainly be back.
