Stewart Lodge

We have stayed here before with no complaints. We stayed here this past weekend and it was snowing. On Saturday the owner was clearing the snow with his Kubota tractor, which looked brand new. We had traveled to Ellensburg and when we returned he was clearing the lot. We had used the rear «door» numerous times in Ellensburg as our son attends CWU and noticed no damage. When we returned on Saturday we parked and noticed the clearing of the snow.
I did not notice the damage until Monday morning as Sunday was dumping snow and the damage was covered. I contacted the owner who agrees that he was clearing snow that day but refuses to take responsibility for what he did.
I firmly believe he knows that he hit our vehicle and does not want to assume liability. My question to all… when was the last time you saw a blaze orange vehicle on the road? All Kubota tractors are blaze orange which is the color left on my vehicle in the damaged area.
This owner is very dishonest and should be avoided at all cost.

We just spent the weekend at the Stewart Lodge. The owner/​manager was plowing snow with his tractor throughout the parking lot. He hit our car and did not report it to us. When we got home and the snow melted off our vehicle, we noticed the dent, a broken tail light and EVEN orange paint, the same color as his tractor!!! He denied hitting our car and is not making right on his mistake.
Do not stay at this dishonest establishment!

Clean, quiet, right off I-​90 and across from a grocery store and gas station. Price of $ 109 on a Sunday nite was kind of steep but everywhere else was booked. Fastest wifi than any hotel we’ve stayed in. Overall a good find.

Stewart lodge is one of the only decent hotels in cle elum. They have a hot tub and pool. (Hot tub wasn’t working when we went though) friendly front staff, and the rooms are very roomy, bathrooms are huge and there flat screen TV was a plus as well. We will definitely be back. Alittle on the pricy side $ 119 with taxes in the summer time but worth it.

I thought this was a nice little hotel for the price. One night stay while traveling… Grocery store across the street. Room was clean and a good size. I would stay here again.

Staff was very friendly, good sized rooms, complimentary wifi was spectacular, and the hotel is located next to gas stations, shops, and grocery store. Great place to stop after a long day on the road!

This is not the best motel I’ve stayed at, but I will return. $ 55 a night. Very clean room. Friendly staff. Requested a small heater for the bathroom, 2 minutes it was there. Needed a list of the cable TV channels, 2 minutes there was a knock on the door.
Very quiet, comfortable motel.

Rooms are very clean and large, pool water was the perfect temperature and very clean, and the price is very good. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is very convenient as well. We would stay again if in the area.

Very poor service overall. We were driving through the night & needed to pull off for rest. The employee mumbled over the phone but said he had vacancy. We told him we would be there in 5 minutes, which we were & the building was locked. Apparently it always is. We rang the bell 4 times for service & called. Sent us to a machine. Stood in the rain in the middle of the night all to be turned away. AVOID! We ended up at Timberlodge Inn & were overwhelmed at how friendly the staff was to accommodate us. Plus the rooms are huge and very clean. Save yourself the hassle and go there instead.

You know for the price this is a pretty decent, clean motel. The rooms look like they’ve been redone in the past 5 – 7 years. The décor is nice and the staff were great. Location is adjacent to highway so its easy to get in and out from Cle Elum. Restaurants (minus Taco Bell and Burger King) are not within a short jaunt, so some driving might be needed. I would choose this place over the Timber Inn (both dog friendly) even though Timber is within walking distance of downtown.

When my husband went in to check in they said” Hi, Brian? are you ready to check in” Even though we were the only people checking in then it was nice that they called him by name. We needed an inexpensive clean place to stay on our way through to Idaho and it was exactly that. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn’t any mold in the shower anywhere. I have stayed at 5 star resorts that had mold in the shower/​tub. The employees were very friendly but they need to be able to reset the wireless router. We were unable to use the Internet the whole night. Breakfast was all carbs/​sugar so we did not eat. They did not have any meat. The refrigerator made a clicking noise all night so that was a little annoying. the room was renovated, but they still Had yucky linoleum in the bathroom. They should make an easy inexpensive upgrade and put in tile. One thing that was nice on a cold spring night was the outdoor covered hot tub.

The employees are very nice. The wireless did not work because the router needed to be reset (unplug, plug back in), when I said this to the person at the desk, I was told that only management could do this. I saw at least two different people leave because it wasn’t working. The next day, it still wasn’t working. Management needs to train employees to deal with internet issues. The breakfast was very basic with no meat or eggs but did include a waffle maker. There was an advertisement for a romantic weekend here… there is NO WAY this could ever be considered a romantic place to stay. It is a clean basic hotel with large rooms. I would only do a night stay on the way to my next destination, but nothing more.

Poor service from the front desk. First, the office is always locked, you have to ring a bell for service. Check in was smooth, the guy at the front desk lacked personality. Later I tried to use their complimentary computer and of course had to ring the bell to gain access. While on the computer the guy «sighed» constantly waiting for me to finish. Room was clean. Drainage in shower was horrible. I ended my shower w/​3 inches of water in the tub. yuck! Pool was great, my kids loved it! Hot tub was broken. we were bummed. wanted to use that. NO discount offered for lack of services, even after I pointed out one of the selling points was the hot tub. While on the computer the next morning, the lady at the counter was having a financial issue via the phone. Some bill collector, she was having this conversation full on while I was in the room Very tacky. All in all, I would stay somewhere else!

I pulled in late (as usual) and the manager was very welcoming. They have dog friendly rooms and great WiFI. The room was spacious, clean and had all amenities. Nice pressure in the shower which I appreciate after all the traveling I’ve been doing!

Hotel was fine. Unfortunately, Cle Elum police operate a speed trap right outside the hotel that I was caught in. Whole town was depressing. Very few restaurants. Main thoroughfare is run down. If you like Safeway and Burger King, you will do fine (although I also waited for 20 minutes in line at Burger King, apparently because one of the employees quit while taking the order of someone in front of me, without telling any other employees.) I’m depressed even thinking about the time I spent in Cle Elum.
