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.

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

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!

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!

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
