Better coffee would be nice. Surrounding grounds could be improved to make property more attractive overall. I wonder if some full service RV hookups out in front might be good utilization of excess space.

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.

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.

Cute place to stay! It was clean and comfortable. I give it 4 stars because it is a little over priced.

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

Twisp stay

Our room smelled like fried food and fish, the window wouldn't lock, thin walls so you could hear next door, construction right in front of motel with loud machines. They gave a nice treat bag forour dog. Rather shabby place. Will not stay there again.

Nice hotel/motel with everything you need. Not fancy/new, but everything was in good working condition and order; the a/c was very good. Small breakfast available in the morning. Jacuzzi was very clean. Fenced dog park on their property. They were in the middle of some remodeling at the time of our stay. Lovely staff

Good value

We came for a hockey tournament in Winthrop. The motel was adequate for my teen daughter and myself. Walls were very thin and it is definitely a little dated. The managers were kind and accommodating. We would come again!

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.
