Looks like the Best Western Reward Points are NOT accepted here
Ron D.

Tried to book a room at this Cle Elum Best Western using my Best Western rewards points that I earned by staying at Best Western... BUT the Cle Elum Best Western doesn't accept Best Western points. - HUH? Why would Best Western offer a reward points program that doesn't work at all Best Westerns? Why would a Best Western (Cle Elum) not accept Best Western rewards points? Is the Cle Elum Best Western not really a Best Western? The Ellensburg Best Western (26 miles south) accepts my Best Western points so I guess I will have to book my room there?

Flat-screen tv with bottle of water for comparison.

An excellent choice for your stay in Cle Elum, with a few caveats. The front desk staff are great, Donna was especially warm and accommodating. And how can you not like free cookies on check- in? There are only two-floors, but no elevator, so if you have problems with stairs or a lot of luggage ask for a ground floor room. Lots of parking around the back entrance. Our mid-hallway room was quiet, but I would avoid the rooms next to the stairways if you want a quiet night's stay. Our King room was incredibly spacious, with a very comfy king-size bed, and quality thick sheets. After a hard afternoon of snowshoeing at Snoqualmie I slept like a baby given NyQuil. Free fast wifi, and a nice desk and chair makes a great workstation by the window with sitting sill. Our room featured a large vanity with sink, a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker and kitchen sink. Also a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. A mid-size flat screen TV faced the bed, very nice, however the aspect ratio was all off with no way to fix it with the universal remote. Watching "Dreamgirls" on TV was interesting with Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy's heads cut off! There's no DVD/Bluray player so bring your own. The bathroom has an incredibly deep tub, and even a cool "rain shower" overhead faucet for a unique showering experience! The shower also includes a dispenser for shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. CONS: One drawback of the spacious room design is that the bathroom sink is in the main room, so there is no privacy for brushing your teeth, etc. Another is that there are NO clothing drawers, so you'll probably be keeping your clothes in your suitcase. The complimentary continental breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Muffins, oranges and apples, cereals, teas, coffees, juices, scrambled eggs, breakfast links, biscuits and gravy. Also, a hot waffle maker! Be sure to follow the posted directions for hot waffle goodness. Unfortunately during our stay only one of the two irons was working, so get down there early if you want waffles before the rush. Hopefully Best Western will fix this soon. The pool area is clean and large, with a pre/post shower for cleaning off, and a small workout room with treadmill, elliptical and stationary bike. Even a mini-fridge with bottles of cold water- nice touch! Great location in Cle Elum, right next to the Safeway and some restaurants, although I highly recommend visiting historic 1889 "The Brick" saloon in nearby Roslyn, about 5 minutes away. Check in is 4pm, checkout is 11am.

Other than the very filthy carpet it is a decent room. They have clearly upgraded the decor recently and it's modern for a BW. The noise of this place is astounding, however. It's only two floors so everyone uses the stairs. Naturally, we are three doors down from said stairs. Anyone within ten rooms of the stairs can hear people coming up the hollow steps. And it's not necessarily that they are meaning to be loud. The design is clearly flawed in this case. The location and price isn't bad for those heading up to the summit but I'm sure there are better options at non peak times/holiday times. Things that I liked: They carry local coffee grounds from Pioneer. A nice way to support a neighbor business. Wifi was good. Area surrounding the hotel is routinely plowed. Walking distance to Safeway. Complimentary soap AND shower gel. I forget my toiletry bag and so the gel was much appreciated as I already have dry skin.

A close friend of ours recommended this fabulous boutique of a hotel to stay at for her daughter's…read morewedding. We absolutely loved staying here at the Hotel Roslyn. It happens to be in downtown Cle Elum, and as in with walking distance to a few local bars and restaurants. From the moment we stepped in, we felt so much at home. The space was warm and charming with attention to detail on all levels. The room had an appealing modern atmosphere. The cozy bed with luxury sheets and pillows were amazing to sleep in. We loved having our coffee in the morning in the front room with the small kitchenette. We also enjoyed having access to a fridge where we could bring back a nice bottle of wine for a nightcap. When we went to check out, I have the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ellen and her adorable dog Lady. The lobby is quite elegant with treasure troves a beautiful treasures. I shared with her that we truly enjoyed our stay and definitely will be back!

My mom and I…read moreneeded to be in Cle Elum Sunday morning, so I figured it be a fun girl's getaway for the night in Roslyn. I did see they were listed on Airbnb as well, but I booked directly through their website, we got the King studio for around $200 for the night. The morning of check-in I received an email for a contactless check-in, that was a nice touch! The hotel is in a great location and main street is just around the corner from it! We parked on the street, got into our room with the code they emailed us, and walked into town for dinner. The room is super cute! Nice modern touches all around. The walls are kinda thin, later in the night we heard ppl downstairs, it sounded like in the staircase, and it was pretty loud, but didn't last for long. The bed was comfy, they had dishes, mini fridge (no freezer in this room), and a convenient microwave. I did notice this hotel is listed on Redfin for sale ($4+ mill, I was just poking around Redfin and noticed the listing). Hopefully if they sell, the facilities will stay as nice! I asked the front desk and they have been open for almost 2 years they said. Looks brand spanking new still, especially compared to the historic buildings of Roslyn. Loved our stay here and would recommend to friends under current management! (which a friend did end up booking for a weekend because she saw my photos I posted on my IG hehe)

Incredible......Every minute of our 2 day stay was absolutely incredible…read more To be fair, we are normal everday middle class people, so it doesn't take much to exceed expectations. We arrived & the valet guy was incredibly helpful with the check-in process & transporting our bags to the room. The property is beautiful and our room with hot tub was impressive. The Source bar within the hotel has great drinks & food, but the service staff was the best I've ever had anywhere. The bartender, she made the drinks strong enough that it felt worth the cost (which I was greatful for) and made them sweeter when I needed them to be. The waiter Mason........ literally the best waiter I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. Just attentive enough to feel taken care of, but not so much to be annoying, he was also training a new employee and was doing a fantastic job from what i was seeing. Explaining the job to such a degree of understanding that I only wish every restaurant had a "Mason" to train new employees. I want to give 3 Gold stars to the chef for the perfectly cooked lobster and shrimp mac. Im no pro, but I know how hard it is to cook lobster & shrimp to perfection thanks to the Food Network and the perfectly Al Dente bucatini with marsala mushrooms were sauted to ultimate tastiness. It's been a long time since we've had a meal that well cooked & it was delicious. Day 2, My husband & I had couples massage & facial at The Glade. Emily & Hailey were absolutely amazing massage therapist, they both listened to our needs in detail & they were executed to absolute perfection. Not once, did I need to tell her softer or harder and I have a severely broken foot i had surgery on 6wks ago. Every move she made, was made with my absolute comfort & relaxation in mind. Conversion was easy & relaxed, it felt like we've known them both for years. I would suggest that management consider Hailey's ideas in adding soundbath therapies. That would have made an incredible experience that much better. After our massage, I had a facial with Abby. She as well, listened to my needs and gave me the most spectacular & soothing facial with an equally easy & relaxed conversation. It felt wonderful to be taken care of to such a degree. The oxygenating fizzofoliant was so wonderfully bizarre that I purchased a bottle for myself. We had dinner reservations made a few minutes down the road so we were given shuttle service by Doyle, a hilariously quirky lovely older gentleman that played the best music for our 5 minute trip and Ben who jumped in to pick us up after dinner when Doyle was busy shutting other guests. The food at The Stovehouse was incredibly delicious, the tortilla chips were freshly made & perfectly crisp, the salsa had just the right amount chunk to sauce to heat & the guacamole was so good it had to be handmade. Clearly by someone who has a 100 year old family guacamole recipe running through their veins. The tuna was perfectly seared and the greens fresh & crisp, but again, our server Brennan was just as fantastic as we had at The source. He was perfectly attentive without feeling overwhelming & was incredibly helpful with a few silly requests that I had. All the staff seemed genuinely happy and content to work there, not a single word or action felt forced or even only nice because they were being paid to as part of the job. I really hope they're paid well, because Suncadia hit the jackpot with all of them. The only complaints we could nit pick about was that with my broken foot I wasn't able to take the 1,000 steps down to the river, the coffee shop doesn't open until 7am & The Glade could use a cold plunge pool for the people who like to use the mineral pools & sauna for long periods of time. I only wish that we could afford to come here again. Ive literally never felt this relax and well cared for by everyone at Suncadia.

Such a beautiful place even if u dont golf. They have amazing golf courses but the pool spa and…read morerestaurant are so nice. Hotel is so beautiful and they have so much to do and are still growing adding a grocery store and much more. I love it there. Will be back as much as we can!!!

Update: Resort…read moreManager Mo was really helpful and understood our concerns, also helped us check out even a day earlier since we were not happy about the overall experience. Adding a star for all other amenities (Hot tub, heated pool) we were able to use which were great ******************** We booked the Inn at Suncadia for my wife's birthday in September 2021. We did not had a good overall experience and surely not coming back, I suggest you stay away as well! Below are few details Check Inn: For Inn you need to check-in at the lodge, we paid for a golf course view room. The lady at the check inn gave us room 15 and was confident it was a golf view room. It turned out all I could see from the room was the parking lot! When I went back asking for what I paid for they said they are all booked and can not do anything now! (They did provide some resort credit and I added a star for that) but the Birthday trip was spoiled looking at the parking lot :( I was told a supervisor would reach out but never heard from anyone, I guess they don't care for the guest once they pay! They just want you to shut up and take whatever they offer Rooms: At first look rooms looked nice and eventually the downward journey started, room bedding had some pungent smell and we could barely sleep at the night, to add the beds were the worst beds I have ever slept on. We could literally feel the springs all night. I bet a motel on the highway would have better beds than this 3-4 star resort. We decided to use our sleeping bags and sleep on the floor. They really need to improve the customer service and overall hygiene and cleanness in the room

As soon as you walk in, you see the receptionist area, which is unlike any other hotel or lodging facility. Instead of walking up to the counter, you take a seat in one of the comfy chairs at the receptionist desk, treating you like you are a VIP here. It was a great first impression. When I walked in my room, I loved everything about it! It really was reminiscent of a lodge in the woods, as the decor reflected that. The doors to the bathroom were even barn doors, which I thought was such a nice touch! But there were so many positive of the room like the deep-soaking tub, provided robes, a private outdoor area with rocking chairs and my favorite part was the fireplace! I didn't want to leave my room, or more particularly, the king size bed! So comfy! What's also cool about the room is that the bathroom has a window area from the tub, where you can look into the main room or close it off for privacy with the shutter doors. It was especially nice to have this option, so you could watch TV while soaking in the tub (which I totally did!). Plus, there's a separate vanity desk area, so you don't have to share the bathroom when you're getting ready. They also provided toiletries, Keurig coffee pods, tea, cork screw (clever!), mini fridge, 425 Magazine, free wifi, and if you have any questions - you can text back the number that texts you when you check in and they will respond shortly after. There's even a shuttle that takes you anywhere on the resort grounds! I highly recommend that if you're staying at Suncadia for the weekend, the Inn is a great option, as it really has that home-feel and relaxing vibe to it. I just wish I could've stayed longer!

I have dined here regularly with my family -- sometimes up to three times a month -- because we…read moregenuinely wanted this restaurant to live up to its high-end presentation. Unfortunately, after repeated experiences, it simply does not. As someone who frequently travels and dines at upscale restaurants and banquets, I can confidently say that what is marketed as refined here does not align with what is delivered. On multiple occasions, we found long dark hairs in our food -- including in my children's mac and cheese. This was not a one-time oversight. It became a pattern. Even more concerning, management-level staff with very long dark hair were consistently seen delivering food without it properly secured. When basic food safety standards appear optional at the leadership level, it speaks volumes. Beyond that, service execution is disorganized. Tables are crowded, and we repeatedly received incomplete settings or missing items -- condiments, steak knives, and at times portions of the meal itself. These are elementary details for any restaurant, let alone one positioning itself as upscale. The only bright spot was one blonde server named Sandi who handled the situation with professionalism and composure. She demonstrated the level of service the restaurant claims to embody. What ultimately makes the experience untenable is the atmosphere created by the head chef audibly yelling tickets and shouting at staff throughout service. A dining room should feel polished and controlled -- not chaotic and tense. After giving this establishment many opportunities to improve, we have decided not to return. High-end dining is not about price points or aesthetics -- it is about consistency, leadership, and standards. Those fundamentals are currently lacking here. Gorgeous place nonetheless.

Let's Break this Baby Down:…read more Pros: 1) Dog-friendly 2) Chocolate Martinis 3) Servers and Restaurant Service (top notch) 4) Rooms were pretty great on like a Americanized English Patient Economy Way Cons: 1) The hot tub gave me a UTI. I got it on my birthday instead of nookie and it took 10 days of medical treatment to expunge. I reported it to the health dept and they just repeated what the hotel told them about pH balance and sanitary levels. I spent three hours in a tub without a staffer taking levels. In Palm Springs, it is on the clock hourly. 2) in the snow tubing area, which was vast, I flew into a frozen pond and broke through to what smelled liked raw sewage, Suncadia reports it's just water run off. It was not quite "It's a Wonderful Life" traumatizing... but it's the first thing I remember about my birthday... even over the UTI that prevented me from making love to my husband for two weeks. 3) My gift was left in the room but never reported as missing. My only birthday gift this year. 4) Suncadia is a total cheap repelicant of rich people resorts. I don't want to go to those places because I detest rich people. However Suncadia is simple and overwhelmed, like the Vegas version of the Eiffel tower instead of the real Effiel tower.

Budget motels, for many of us, are a fact of life. Lack of funds, general miserliness, desire for…read morelocal charm--whatever has brought you here, one common goal for us budgeters is avoiding what I call, creepfactor. For instance, looking for a motel in the Snoqualmie Pass area, we drove right on through the gravel lot of a budget motel that claimed the only room under $55. This is because the carparks beside the dumpy strip of rooms were filled with smashed automobiles and one guy (who we assumed was the establishment's proprietor) had his door open and sat in nothing but his boxer shorts, holding a TV remote and looking about as unwashed as the room he occupied. In short, major creepfactor. Blessfully, Chalet Motel is decently-priced ($65) and low on creepfactor. The manager is the most welcoming one I've met yet. He genuinely asked to hear about our trip and talked about the motel and town and how to correctly pronounce Cle Elum. He showed us our room, gave us extra towels, told us (before we could even ask) that, since we'd arrived so late, we could have a late checkout. In the morning, he was just as cheerful, shook our hands, and wished us well on the rest of our journey. The room and facilities, however, was closer to 2 stars. Though the exterior is quaint-looking with all the manager's potted flowers hanging about, the room looked cheaply constructed and poorly maintained. The carpet was old and stained, the bathroom floor was dirty with bug parts and the shower was made of cheap plastic sheeting, making me feel like I was showering in somebody's RV. Nevertheless, I give Chalet 3 stars, overall, due to the comfort created by the owner. Considering what the next cheapest motel in the area looked like, Chalet is a budgeter's refuge. ~Amenities~ Microwave Minifridge Cable TV Free WiFi Coffee maker
