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.

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.
