Great stay, i will use them again.
Brian, 1-night trip

Room was comfortable and the town is very nice. Really liked the views and the town vibe.
Jim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They were very kind. Clearly in the process of taking the property from a bit run down to more up to date. Room did the job, staff were awesome. We’d return.

Quiet, clean and a cozy bed👍👍
Cory, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a comfortable stay in the room and the hot tub was a nice surprise, however the walls are thin, so the guests next door we’re a bit noisy, including a barking dog at times and snoring at night.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the contactless check in/checkout - perfect spot for what was needed. we will be back
Timothy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK stop. Better than camping.

The room was basically clean, but furniture was very worn. Bed was comfortable and there was a small frig and microwave, and a sofa. One lamp did not work properly and had to be unplugged. Toilet overflowed. We wiped up the water, but it came close to overflowing again, so we had to be very careful with it. It was okay for a quick stop, but the construction going on on the property would have made it a nuisance if we were staying longer. Hopefully, improvements are making it worth the hassle.

Motel is no-frills but totally classic. All-electronic check-in and payment is awesome!
Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, but a somewhat overpriced.

Convenient location as a stopover after leaving North Cascades. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, nice fluffy towels, good AC , quiet and large room with large refridge and microwave. Those are the pluses. On the other hand, I felt the room was overpriced given the condition of the furniture on the room and the fact that there is major roadwork being done in front of the hotel. I never did meet anyone from the hotel face to face , but I did get a phone call and text inquiring about my arrival time and given the code. I’m totally fine with that, but some others may not be. I thought the office was efficient in handling the check in
Lynda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very basic, but comfortable motel. Our room was close to the highway, so traffic noise can be a bit of a problem, but leaving the fan on overnight helped.
Darcy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As far as cheap motels go, this is as solid as I hope for. We stayed a second night as it was just too convenient. Walking distance to downtown Twisp, 10 minute drive to Winthrop, park right in front of your sleep, clean, comfy beds, and no real gross motel vibes, which we’re experiencing often on our drive across America. Wish all motels were to this standard!

Bugs in the rooms

Clean but dated. Phone-only access to manager at check-in. Couldn’t find my on-line reservation initially. Electrical outlets limited and very busy. Friendly face-to-face upon check-out.

Rooms need a complete upgrade. Very old, yucky carpet etc.
Michelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for access to Nordic skiing trails, 5 minutes from large grocery store which serves hot food by a fireplace, very comfortable bed and hot shower. A short walk to the river. In the winter, you might want to call with your ETA. We had to wear coats for 3 hours while the unit warmed up (outside temp was 17d F). Next 48 hours was comfortably warm.

2/10 Poor

I was locked in my room twice. In the morning I had to climb out the window. Apparently something wrong with the old bolt lock. Hot tub out if service. Main reason to stay here
Trina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

1) We were given 2 addresses. I didn't know we had 2 addresses. I looked at one which was 505 N Hwy 20 Twisp. It caused much confusion and frustration. Finally, I found the 419 N Methow Valley Hwy Twisp which was the correct one. The 505 N Hwy 20 address needs to be eliminated. 2) The room was very run down with horribly run down furniture. You can get much better quality 2nd hand furniture to make the room appear nicer. 3) It was not worth the $177 for the room especially with no continental breakfast.
Tanya, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Buggy and disappointing

Lots of bugs in room, especially bathroom. Not roaches, something about fly-size but not a fly. Toilet got plugged, I reported it, asked them to fix it while we were gone, they just left a plunger outside the door. We fixed it ourselves. They said there was an ice maker but it wasn't working. Reported that to them as well.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Despite the out-dated room, the friendly front desk woman and the fact that it’s big-dog friendly made this place 10/10 for me! Our 2 dogs got “welcome baskets” and there was a fenced dog area on the property. I’d totally stay again and it felt like the owner(s) are building a special place out in Twisp.
Char, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute place to stay! It was clean and comfortable. I give it 4 stars because it is a little over priced.
Abigail, 1-night trip

Idle a while was a comfortable, dog friendly motel. It was walking distance to several restaurants.
