I love the river view from all of the rooms and the convenient hot tub. It was odd not having a sink or an electrical outlet in the bathroom. It was awkward to have to wash my hands, brush my teeth, etc., in the main room with my traveling companions there. There also was no table for us to sit and eat the food that we had brought with us.

How great. Clean rooms affordable price friendly service and the sound of the river outside your room at night asking with an amazing sunrise. Free parking and right next to the great artsy stores coffee shops and bakeries downtown. Love it!

Rio Vista is Real Nice.
We like Hotel Rio Vista for it's proximity to town and it's riverside location. All rooms have a private balcony overlooking the river with a screened entry, nice for keeping open at night to listen to the river flow by. There is a homey feeling to the rooms that feels right for Winthrop. The only negative comment I have regards the hotel's choice of promoting FOX News on it's TVs. When you turn on the TV, FOX is the channel that you always get first. And it is difficult to change channels for a few minutes. While some might like this, I do not. It would be better if the TV just came on to the Guide Channel.

The view of the river was amazing for the room, loved sitting on the deck having drinks and watching it go by. Nice and quite easy walking distance to the town. Staff were just ok asked for an extra pillow and they said they had none. Also not helpful no pamphlets on trails how to get to them that would be helpful. Over all good place to stay.

Great Stay!!!
Perfect! We stayed 3 nights, quiet room was very clean, great staff. Free parking and right in town, you can walk to everything. Our go to for meals was 3 finger Jack’s Saloon, really good food. and the bakery right next door for coffee and breakfast, great breakfast burritos. Private balconies on the river we spent alot of time there relaxing. We had a really good trip, fun exploring!

This is a wonderful place to stay in Winthrop with a deck looking over the rivers. The criticism that I have is that when you turn the television on it goes to FOX News. Please let it go to a less controversial channel!

Hotel Rio Vista was a very pleasant surprise since Ive never been to Winthrop before. The staff was friendly and very helpful and the rooms were great. It was right on the river (as name implies) and the sound of it right outside the balcony / window was wonderful for sleeping. I will definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay. They are always so responsive. Hot tub is clean and usually easy to get a decent reservation time, location is easy access to everything in Winthrop and easy to park at. Walk to Methow Valley trails to ski, quick drive to the upper trails. We were late to check-in so they just did it over the phone. We hope to stay here again. It's a great value for money especially if you want to spend more time on the trails and less time driving / parking / cooking / etc.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in accommodating the type of rooms we requested for a group booking. The rooms were perfect for a weekend stay in a small town. The King Suite with a sofa was spacious and the bed/pillows were comfortable. There were porcelain coffee mugs as well as paper cups, coffee was better than what’s usually found in a hotel. There were also teas, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, which smelled nice. Our room adjoined with a Double Queen room and we also booked a regular King room. Both rooms were basically the same but less spacious than the suite and didn’t have the sofa. We didn’t use the hot tub so we can’t speak for that, but assume it is nice, clean and well maintained like everything else. My only suggestion is softer towels but not everyone like towels the same way. We come to Winthrop annually for a hockey tournament and will definitely book here again. Thanks for everything!

Due to an error in dates when booking, I was not able to stay. When I replied to this hotel's message that I was responsible for the no-show, which I totally understood and accepted, within an hour I received a very sympathetic call from the hotel which I will not go into except to say that this hotel cares about you! I stopped by on my way to another hotel that I had, in the meantime, made a reservation at, to personally meet these nice people and thank them for their consideration and realized what a beautiful opportunity I had missed. I hope I can stay on another occasion.

Thank you for the great review! To save energy, the room refrigerators are set to "off" when guests check out. Incoming guests need to turn the dial to the desired coldness level. Hope this helps for future stays!
