Clean, Modern, Quiet

We stayed in Ellensburg recently, and the Holiday Inn Express was very clean, quiet, had a welcoming staff, and a terrific continental breakfast. Our room was large, modern, and comfortable. Even though we didn't bring our pets, they were a pet friendly option with places to walk dogs.

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.
