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.

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
