There must be something bad in the water in the Methow Valley. We had a problem with reservations in Chelan last night (7/8/17) & were forced to continue driving to find a place to stay. The first place, about 4-5 miles east of Twisp, wouldn't give us a room for NO reason. We are polite people & there was no cause for that. So, on to Twisp, where we found this place. There was a very bright, lit neon "OPEN" sign clearly visable; the lights in the office were all on, and there was not a "No Vacancy" sign displayed. There was also no notation of not having, or a limitation regarding business hours at night. By now, it was about 11:00pm, late, but not unreasonably so. My BF knocked on the door; I'm temporarily disabled so I was having him arrange for the room. There were several, at least 6 to 8, or more available. The "employee" supposedly responsible for selling accommodations got up, and my BF said, we need a room. He told us the price (which was higher than the rates posted by the street). We didn't care about the approximate $10-$20 increase, being very tired, so he said, "We'll take it." He then said, it'll just take a minute for my GF to get in here (I'm currently partially disabled, so he was doing the initial legwork for me). Upon hearing that, this "employee" spit out these words in a rude fashion: that'll take to long, go find somewhere else. I'm going back to bed." He turned on his heel and abruptly shut the inner door to his quarters. After the first place in Carlton down the road had behaved in a similiar fashion, we were absolutely floored by this, too! We are polite people, we don't drink, and weren't being the least bit demanding or abrasive, and that's the treatment we received. Steer clear of this business, this guy obviously couldn't care less about an exhausted couple who merely needed a place to sleep. Perhaps it's time to buy a motor home if we continue to travel in the Methow Valley. Just unbelievable how uncaring, crass and rude these motels in the area were to us. read more
