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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
