I visit my mom in the Ephrata/Soap lake area on occasion, but her place is way to small for me to stay with her. I like this place, it's clean and quiet. I feel safe here when I stay alone. Although it may be an older building, I can tell it's been maintained with newer windows, bathroom fixtures and the such. The room I've stayed in has cute vintage kitchenette with stovetop and sink that works, and dishes included in the cupboard. There was also a tiny microwave, coffee pot and a nice mini fridge. The sunset views over the lake right across the street are beautiful. The only thing I wish is that they had rooms available with king size beds.
