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.

Overall, Idle A While is a convenient place for travelers to the Northen Cascade National Park area for hikings and other activities when they have a pet and no other hotels available in Wintrop, as it's just a 20 away on Hwy 20 in Twisp. We stayed here and upon checking in got a gift for our dog which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel owner's wife even made some muffins for breakfast for the guests. Recommended!

The owners are lovely and have clearly been making improvements. It is clean, nicely painted, large room, pretty good bed, fridge with bigger than most freezer & microwave. Fluffy towels. Keyless entry. Charging ports in bedside alarm clock and desk lamp. Magnetic housekeeping/do not disturb signs for door. Deer grazing on property. Right on the highway so easy access but there is traffic noise in the morning. Good rates. Hair dryers, the beat up furniture may be next on the list. Despite agreeing with their spending priorities, it is not 5 star yet.

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.

The photos and property descrption are so misleading that they are almost fraudulant! The "spa" is a shack with red wooden letters nailed to the door that say"spa". The hand drawn sign leaned in the dirt against the sign post in the front states"RV dump station coming soon" Good thing because yhe whole place looks like an RV dump station!!

I’ve stayed here twice before-maybe I was crazy at those times. The “spa” is in an unheated crummy building and nothing actually works. The heaters in the rooms tick like radiators. My kid didn’t even want to get under the quilt and the sheets are real cheap too. There’s a couch in the room that looks like someone’s poodle went nuts on it a few years back and no one thought twice about leaving it as is for all to be dismayed by. The mini fridge makes sci-fi noises. Anyway, we left. Thanks no thank you. Oh. And then I got a call at 8:35pm asking me for my CC info but I had already paid and received a receipt. Whoopsie.

This is an older property. We knew this and were there for deer hunting. We obviously knew that the interiors aren't brand new. We wanted a unit that had a full kitchen so we could prepare meals. We had an issue with our 1st nights room and brought it to the attention of management. He was very accommodating and moved us to another room. Very good customer service.

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.

We have stayed at this Motel 3 different years. We like the cabins because you are separate and therefore quieter than a typical motel room. The grounds are great for dogs, lots of space. The staff has always been nice and friendly. The rooms and cabins are in need of updating. Think late 79’s early 80’s

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.

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!

The air conditioner was so noisy. I had to sleep in a warmer room than I would have liked. Everytime the ac cycled it woke me up. No employees on site. No face to face. Just a phone that auto dialed to a live human. The vending machine was out of water in August with 90 degree temps. The caramel was hard in the Snickers bar from the vending machine. Sounds like a rant, but the little things really do add up.

It’s a little run down. The pictures posted are either old or not reflective of the room I stayed in. The room has an old smell, possibly due to the old carpet that is mentioned by other reviewers. The room is dark with just three 40W bulbs. Perhaps the owners could splash out on some 100W or equivalent lights. I like to read and could do so only with difficulty. No privacy unless curtains are drawn thus shutting out natural light. A net curtain or blinds could be nice. Old curtains which ran with difficulty over an old curtain rail. Old furniture. I could hear everything outside: vehicles on the street, (it’s not that busy but I’m a light sleeper), a truck starting up at 3:45am, etc. The bathroom is basic motel standard. Everything was clean. Glad coffee was provided. Didn’t explore other features such as hot tub etc.
