Aster Inn

Super quaint motel owned by the same family who built it in the 1920s when it started life as a saloon and card room. Anybody over 50 who gre up in Cle Elum was likely taught by Teresa McKnight and her daughter runs it now. The plums are almost ripe and they said to pick the fruit so I brought home grapes! Our room had a kitchen and a cowboy/western theme. And a full size fridge and a kitchen with stove and microwave?

What a wonderful surprise. I was exhausted from driving from Pullman to Cle Elum in bumper to bumper traffic. I just pull off the hwy on late Friday afternoon and literally got the last room. The Charm was immediate. The owner, Courtney, is in HIS 80's. Yes, HIS name is Courtney. We chatted and laughed about it being a girls name. He could see I was beat and he did charge me for my little dog. They are Pet Friendly. The Bed in my room was amazing. A little kitchenette set-up with a frig. And a shower with water pressure. Could it get better???YES!! The garden is magical. With lovely patio furniture, a BBQ,apple, Pear & plum trees. Trinkets & Baubles. I was waiting for fairies to dance in the lighted trees or through the grape vines adorning the entire fron of the property. At $82.00 a nigh

Best value in town with excellent service and very friendly people running the place. Easy walking distance to all the downtown restaurants and shops. Stayed overnight there while on a bike ride and it was perfect. Room had everything I needed and more.

The owner was very easy to work with. Check in was pleasant. I will definitely stay here again.

Great spot in Cle Elum. Old style motel, lots of character, and lovely fluffy towels! Felt well looked after by the friendly team
