在 The Gorge 活動期間還能有高性價比的住宿，我們都非常滿意，雖然飯店有一定的歷史，但整體體驗都非常好，很推薦大家。
Pros:

住宿地點
我們前往 The Gorge 參與 ABGT700 活動，因鄰近區域都已經售完，轉向尋找 Ellensburg 的住宿，這裡雖然有一定的車程，但非常的方便，週邊就有快速道路、加油站、多家餐飲、咖啡、超市等等，是很適合 The Gorge 的前哨站。

房間環境
住宿房間有一定的歷史，但仍然維持的相當不錯，房內空間可以充份放置兩人的行李，淋浴的水壓也很充足。建築物是狹長型的，可以將車停在鄰近房間的出入口再上樓，不過我們剛好住在建築末端，離大廳比較遠，需花比較多時間拖行行李。

Cons:

房間環境
房內的吹風機風力稍弱，需要花較多時間吹乾頭髮；另外在浴缸內有零星殘留的頭髮，但房內大多都是非常清潔的，不影響整體感受；浴缸淋浴時較容易濺出水，務必確實拉好浴簾。

公共設施
原本期望可以使用健身設施，不過似乎已經沒有再開放，僅有開放游泳池；另外建築物沒有電梯，行李較多的人可能需要詢問能否住在一樓。

The breakfast was disappointing. But everything else was fine.
Pros:

Location was great. Its a small town and easy to drive to. Room was clean, wifi worked great, beds were comfy and warm. The staff was great.

Cons:

The breakfast had standard options for the price. The milk and the creamer were bad. They had the same fruit out from the morning before, no other/new fruit options. The protein options were lacking, only dairy no meats or plant based sources. Mostly carbs available- bread, cereal, waffles/syrup. Also there were no wash cloths in the bathroom just towels and hand towels.

Stay far away from here
Pros:

Nothing this place it terrible!

Cons:

The front desk night guy was rude. The power outlets was broken the TV remote didnt work and he never did bring a new remote. I got the TV on but couldn't get it off. The office dude aloud some tweaker chick to ask every guest that came in where they was headed cuz she needs to get to Tacoma so she was asking everyone to see if she could get a ride. The kitchen was already nasty dirty when we got there at like 6pm there was waffle batter all over the waffle maker and the counter. There was no cart to help pack stuff in. There was no elevators. The carpet through out the whole place was run down and nasty looking. The pool looked like there was poop all at the bottom so we didnt get in the pool at all. The middle smoking area was over grown and nasty smelling. The breakfast was a joke. I will be calling tomorrow to ask for a refund it was so horrible. We could hear the tv of the room next to us all night even over our music. They only had 1 towel and 1 wash rag. The bed didnt have a fitted sheet they used a top sheet and tried to tuck it around. It was just over all horrible!!!! We killed 5 big ass spiders just in our room alone. The outside had cobwebs all over!

This stay was awful, I should have stayed at the holiday in next door
Pros:

Nothing it was dirty

Cons:

It was dirty and they switched the room types on us so instead of 4 queen beds in 2 rooms we got 2 king beds in 2 rooms so we had to share befs

Friendly staff made the overnight stay worthwhile
Pros:

Breakfast food choices were extremely limited and nearly empty lobby/Breakfast Lounge but the limited staff offered exceptional service.

Cons:

The overall appearance, closed fitness center, noisy bathroom exhaust fan, indicated a property in decline...and I'm a 40 year fan of the brand...sad.

Pros:

Nothing! The room was dirty, and smelled like pee; I found toenails next to the bed and the breakfast was mediocre!

Cons:

The whole day and night was uncomfortable and dirty! The price I paid for 1 night should have granted me the Taj Mahal!
