Timber Lodge

I’ve stayed here many times in the past as lodging while working in the area, clean and comfy, and the price is very good, gas stations very close, Safeway less than a mile west, close to two I-​90 interchanges.

I’ll be honest — the only reason we stayed at the Timber Lodge was that we got stuck with a bad water pump in Cle Elum, and had to stay the night until the local garage opened the next day. That said, it’s a nice little place to stay, with comfortable beds and a good location in Cle Elum, and we’ll likely be back.
The staff is very friendly and happy to chat. As we were basically stuck there, they let us check into our room a little early, and let us leave our bags in the office while we waited the next day, after check-​out. The rates are extremely reasonable, and the room was a good size for the price. It’s also conveniently located — there’s an excellent coffee shop just down the way, and a great Italian steak house right across the street. The continental breakfast is mostly carbs (cereals, waffles, bagels, etc.) but the company made up for it — we chatted with the front desk worker for nearly an hour.
Timber Lodge is a nice little place to stay that doesn’t break the bank, and offers plenty of local colour. If you’re stuck in Cle Elum (or even just stopping along the way), it’s definitely worth a stop.

At first this place seemed OK. The lady at the desk at night was nice and got us checked in no problem. However when we woke up in the morning we were greeted by bedbugs. We took one down to the front desk and showed the man who was working there. I expected him to at least address the problem. But he took our keys and said thank you and basically ignored the fact that we now have to deal with potential infestation of bed bugs and all of our luggage. If you can avoid staying at this place I would definitely do it.
They should really dropped the ball and did nothing to fix it.
Update: I changed my rating to three stars because we called back and talked to the right person and they made it right. Still not sure I will ever stay here again but we will see

They spent all their money on the exterior. Not the worst place we’ve stayed but close. Husband finally figured out how to get the A/​C running in the morning, after a warm night of sleep. Every carpet we saw had stains on it, including stains that ran like streams down the stairs. No hair dryer in the room.

Not impressed at all. I could give it no star but that’s not an option. Staff wasn’t very friendly and seemed like they were looking down on people.
Hotel itself is older and not clean. Pets are allowed so don’t be surprised when you put your things down on the floor to get dog hair all over it. Floors were dirty. My niece crawled for 2 mins and her feet and outfit was charcoal black. Bathroom are tiny and bathtub was moldy. Our sink was clogged. Rooms had some funky smell to it. Beds are pretty hard so I didn’t get a good night sleep.
Parking lines are not meant for SUVs it seems. Pretty small. I had a hard time getting out of my car being parked next to another SUV.
Breakfast was. well. not worth eating. 3 choices of cereal but definitely not the freshes. They have a little container in the refrigerator where they keep the milk. But once it goes out you have to wait for the staff to fill it back up and if she’s busy then you’ll be waiting a while since there’s only 1 person working. Breakfast opened at 7 and we showed up at 720 and bagels were already gone.
Overall you’re overpaying. It’s not worth what they charge a night. I’ve stayed at many hotels and this hotel is at the BOTTOM of my list.

Excellent Accommodations, Rate, Staff, and Amenities (Hot Tub, WiFi, Popcorn!). Especially pleasing was the soft sheets & pillows… a welcomed plus! :)

This place blows! I am a real reviewer and stayed here. Friendly people but the building is so poorly made you hear and feel everything building wide, water, foot steps, moving a chair and at 5 am when people wake up you are too. Oh and breakfast? A joke, a few bagels left at 7 am. Stay elsewhere, sleep better, be happy and not annoyed.

This place is cheap and clean. My man and I stayed ³⁄₂₉ on a spring break getaway
