Chewuch Inn & Cabins

We have stayed at the Chewuch a few times, and it seems that they were acquired by the Frank Hotel chain since we were last there. This was an opportunity to see how things have changed. Unfortunately, they have not changed for the better. First of all, it seems that several money saving changes have been put in place. Instead of checking in at the property, we were instructed to check in at the Methow Valley Lodge down the street. It seems that they no longer have an on property office. Well that is a minor thing, though it does seem that getting service on property involves a phone call, and help coming from the associated property. One of the big attractions of the old Chewuch Inn was its included breakfast. I must say that there was a disappointment here also. The breakfast buffet has suffered due to insufficient attention. There still are the quiche and egg dishes, however they seem to be brought in from the sister property. The replenishment of the dishes was slow and sometimes you had to wait for a refill to be brought out. The coffee pots ran out, again, with a some waiting for refills. Most disturbing was the fact that the creamer seemed to have been left on the counter overnight, and then when it was refilled, more creamer was simply added to the day old stuff. Similarly, the cup with the coffee trash, like creamer and sugar packets was not emptied after the breakfast session, and still present on the counter the next day. It does seem that the bagels that were put out the day before, were simply left there for the next day. It seems like there is not enough staff to run the breakfast buffet. Another change is that the hot tub is gone. Not much has changed with regard to the cozy rooms. We don’t know what the other lodging in Methow are like, but the Chewuch used to be the place to stay. Sadly it seems to have become average.

Location to the ice rink

Hot tub wasn’t functioning, amenities did not work or were not what was promised

Good location to ski trails. Had an electric charging station, good breakfast

Hot tub didn’t work - asked to have it repaired but no one ever did over the 4 days we were there. All walking paths and roads on property were very icy, no salt or sand to make them safe

The location was great and the owner was very friendly and showed me around when I checked in. The room was even bigger than I expected and the kitchen area was great. Was nice and quiet and was a great place to be comfortable after a long day of travel and hiking.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to be accommodating. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.

Breakfast did not start until 8:00am, and we left at 7:30am.

The room was beautifully decorated

It was very small and not user friendly. The room was also blazing hot. The ice machine was broken which really sucked because it was 100 degrees outside.
