The room wasn't filthy. The staff were less than enthusiastic about having guests. The air conditioner was operated by an/off switch, with no way to adjust the thermostat. The motel is very close to multiple railroad tracks, that were busy with high-speed (high-noise level) trains, throughout the night. The beds weren't awful. The shower was good. The water pipes sounded like a love sick hound, when the bathroom sink faucet was turned on. Parking was as good as it gets. When we needed ice, the guy behind the counter scraped the inside of the freezer to fill my bucket with scoops of frost. There were no ice cubes..We dumped it, without tasting it. The town of Ephrata is first rate, and easily accessed. We liked the coffee shop/book store called The Bookery. We had a great dinner at the Mexican restaurant next door to the motel. The burgers and hard ice cream at DK's was (were?) delicious.
