Lovely garden cared for by Jamie, the new-ish manager.
Zoe D.

What a find! I'm so glad we came here and ventured a bit further of the highway, both for the motel and the historic downtown. Jamie, the relatively new manager, has done a great job building up a lovely garden in front of the hotel. There is still the BBQ and pet area others have mentioned. There is a coke machine next to the office with 12 oz cans for.75 cents. There is no ice machine but, if you ask Jamie, she'll gladly go get a bag for you and keep it in her freezer until you need it. Since summers here are notoriously hot, it's good to have a/c which works well. We did hear two trains just before we went to bed (8:30 & 9) & after we got up (5:30) but found it a comforting sound, as we've grown up with them. It's across the street from an iconic-looking silo and the WA State Wheat Growers Assoc. The rooms are very spacious (not obvious from the outside, as it's a typical, drive up to the door, old-fashioned, roadside hotel), have flat screen tv, microwave, and larger-than-average frig. Jamie recommended her parent's restaurant, Memories Diner, just a few blocks away in the historic downtown. She said if we mentioned her, that we'd get a 10% discount. I was prepared to check it out and walk away but it looked really decent so we gave it a try. Again, we were not disappointed. It seems this family is working together to revive many historical, familial, and cultural aspects of the town (another daughter cooks at the golf course!). Her mother greeted us, fed us well (check out the shredded chicken salad and request the mango salsa as your dressing, and the homemade peach teach, you won't be disappointed!), and made us very welcome, all for around $20. Then, be sure to take a walk around the historic downtown. If you're there during the day, there are many cute shops and active historical and agricultural businesses, including the county extension office, a lovely Carnegie Library (which is open late most days and has free wi-fi), a railroad museum, and an association actively promoting the restoration of historical downtowns for other towns to follow. There is also a water park, nearby.

We stayed here after our camping trip with the Wounded Warriors was cancelled last minute due to the smoke. We had plans to visit idaho after our trip and desperately needed to find somewhere to stay a couple of nights that wouldn't break our vacation budget-the Top Hat motel more than fit the bill. I was pleased to have a fridge and microwave, the room smelled fresh, was clean,and the staff was friendly. We checked out the railroad museum and walked around downtown. Ritzville is rich in historical buildings and has gorgeous sculptures placed throughout the town.

Got lucky with a last-minute trip, had enough Wyndham points to get a free room, and all of the…read morerooms were the same "price" in points. Including the special jacuzzi room. Yes. 100 yeses. It's hard for me to review the hotel beyond the amazing jacuzzi, but there's a full breakfast to be had, comfy bed, nice fan - normally those are really the only 3 things I'm looking for, but JACUZZI! Sorry, it's hard to look past that. But that was really the focus of my stay, so that's what I'm sticking to. And so with all that, why only 4 stars? Because it was really small and cramped. I love being in a jacuzzi, but only when I can sit normally. Half my body was out of water - this guy's too shallow and not the complex tub shape where you can sit on the side, only wedge yourself on the bottom and fold your legs awkwardly. I did my best in there. And it's great to have, and since 99% of people won't be staying here with a jacuzzi (your loss), I want to focus on the hotel itself. A strong 4 stars, but not quite 5. Brian H's 3/4/22 review matches what I think, and he gave it 4, so there you go.

Picked this place because it was recommended on Yelp and it had biscuits and gravy. During…read morebreakfast, my daughter (8) accidentally dropped a plate. My wife overheard the manager complaining loudly to another employee about it and said she would charge us 10 bucks. While checking out, I asked for an itemized receipt to check if she charged us for it. She did. Upon questioning the manager, she snarkily replied that "I should watch my kids more closely" and "this is our policy." I travel a lot for work and have stayed at a variety of hotels. None of them have ever charged if a plate is broken. Second of all, if you are operating on such a shoestring budget that you can't absorb a CHILD breaking a plate, you have far bigger issues. Third (and last) of all, if you are so jaded working in hospitality that you are berating people, loudly complaining about your guests in front of them, and just generally have a bad attitude, it's probably time to find another line of work (that doesn't involve interacting with people). It sucks because this place was actually pretty nice until the manager had to act the fool. Replace her ASAP and save your business!

We were so tired! Friendly staff! Best part for me we woke…read moreup after 9am.. when we came down stairs at about 10am the breakfast was still out! Fruit, breads, muffins and yogurt!! That was so helpful that is was not cleaned up and gone. I do have to say the shower pressure was not good at all. They take away the pressure and you take a longer shower. Cuz soap! Water pressure is important. Night light for bathroom. Why don't hotels have fans... it's so weird. The bathroom doesn't have fan, i don't get it but it's not uncommon. Staff was friendly Room was clean!

I always hate giving 5 star reviews for a chain. However, I stayed here for 30 days and they…read morewarrant it! Pros: Staff is extremely helpful (+1 Star) Keurig in the room Hospitality staff if absolutely amazing. Free breakfast every morning Free Wi-Fi and Ethernet in room Cons: Short shower curtain made for water everywhere after showering Bathroom tiles move as does under the shower. $1.50 for the washer and dryer. That's $3. a load. Seems steep. When we first checked in, the girl at the front counter lied to me. I asked for a room next to my partner. She told us the floor was full. Not 30 seconds later, she puts the rest of my team on that floor. I was slighted for a moment but I wasn't going to let that ruin the trip. This was a business trip. I checked in 2 January and stayed for the month. I am actually still here but the service has been so good, I'm yelping it now. Every morning, we get free breakfast. I'm talking eggs, cinnamon buns, milk, yogurt, fruit, juice, cereal, oatmeal, sausage, biscuits and gravy ... spared no expense. They really meant it when they said free breakfast. It's served for 3.5 hours every day. The hotel is right next to a lot of eating establishments. There is always a place to go. Domino's will deliver right to your room. Nightly they lay out cookies for everyone and coffee is available 24/7. All in all, I was absolutely taken care of. I miss home and know if I ever travel, I can stay here again. Thanks y'all.

I like how convenient the place is to stores, food and gas stations. I also like the breakfast they provide which is an ACTUAL breakfast.. Not like the fruit and muffins that you get at most hotels, but real eggs, sausage, biscuits, waffles and so much more. The beds are my favorite pay of the stay. They are so comfortable!! The woman who always checks me in always gives me a down comfortable which just makes my sleep 3x better. The showers get nice and hot and have really good pressure. Everything in the room is clean! There have been times where I was rushing to get on the road from Seattle and I was doing last minute packing and I was able to use their laundry facility. At first I was scared, because I didn't want my clothes to get taken, but I have used them twice and I still have all of my belongings! The first couple of times I stayed here, the heater was not working properly, but the staff quickly offered a new room or more blankets (I chose more blankets). I am still giving 5 stars because I get a good deal on the room, the staff is amazing and after a 3.5 hour drive from Seattle, it feels great to get quickly checked in and sink into a their comfortable beds!! I just finished a stay this past weekend and I will be back in a couple of weeks!

The kitchenette cabinets had a huge chunk of wood out of it. The carpet was filthy. The stairs to the 2nd floor were discolored due to the filth. This place needs a deep cleaning. When checking out the clerk with painted black finger nails said nothing when turning in my key card, Not even a thank you or come again. Place was gross don't stay here!
