We rolled into Cle Elum on a whim and stopped at Chalet Motel because of the friendly voice on the other end of the phone saying "We just had a cancellation!" The inn keeper, Mike is a class act and truly wants you to feel at home. We bonded over his love for Nordstrom and he shared some great personal... More

Was in Cle Elum April 12-14 when the freak snow storm hit. My plan was to head back across the pass around 11:00 pm on Saturday only to learn that the pass was closed. I heard about the Chalet Motel from my bassplayer and he put me on the phone with Mike. Mike took care of me and could not... More

I recently stayed at the Chalet and had a great experience. It is a charming retro motel in the heart of Cle Elum. Clean, private, great service, and good value. The best part was the man at the front desk (Mike) was salt of the earth, one of the nicest people you will meet. He will do anything the make... More

I was brought to Cle Elum by a tow truck driver after falling asleep at the wheel and totaling my car on Snaqualmie pass. The manager Michael has been amazingly helpful and shows such genuine concern for my well being. I am from Iowa and if Michael hadn't been so helpful I would be completely lost right now. The rooms... More
