“From what I've gathered, the Red Lion Hotel Ellensburg caters primarily to event attendees at the connected convention center. I appreciate that they offer an indoor heated pool, which is a nice touch in Ellensburg. However, I suspect the dated condition might overshadow some of the conveniences.”
