    Totem Hotel
    Susan R.

    Great little motel with comfy beds, a kind non-intrusive owner, and the little touches of a locally owned business. We sat outside and visited with other guests through the evening and then retired to a peaceful night's sleep. This is a perfect place to get an affordable, clean room while you're exploring the beautiful North Cascades. I highly recommend this business!

    Lovely retreat from the grind. Very clean and comfortable, off the beaten track and filled with quirky goodness.

    North cascades. Entrance: Close the the motel. Just go over the bridge in marblemouth and follow the road to the end.

    This was a wonderful, yet simple, place to stay. However, it was closed in October of 2023, and is no longer open for business.

    This little "mom and pop" motel was a treat. We stayed while visiting N Cascades National Park. Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Ross Lake Resort - North Cascades

    The resort provides portage service that we used between Diablo and Ross lakes. Both directions…read morewere extremely slow and unreliable. On the way into Ross, we were the first at the dock: called in to the office and were told 20-30 min. A truck did arrive after 30 min, but it was loaded with passengers for the ferry that first needed to unload, then ferry passengers (who in the meantime arrived) were loaded in front of us onto the truck and left. Then, a second truck with kayaks came - these were then unloaded and we were finally loaded onto a very stinky, loud, and bumpy diesel truck - with us being right behind the exhaust pipe. The ordeal took about 2 hours. On the way back, we were _again_ the first at the dock and told 20-30 min. A truck did arrive after 20 min, but it was loaded with a motorboat that arrived _after_ us. Our kayaks then did not fit safely on the truck and the driver said "I need to leave.". To my request if they can get a driver for the second truck, someone on the other end of the radio replied "We do not have more than 1 truck on the road, and we're short staffed." About an hour later, the truck returns full of canoes, that first needed to be unloaded and finally our kayaks are loaded onto the truck. The truck driver was switched out with a crew of _2_ drivers. Short staffed? Only 1 truck on the road? This return trip took about 2.5 hours. 2 more things about Ross Lake Resort: - They do not assume any reliability for portaging, so whatever breaks even if they loaded it, is not their fault. - They have a noisy generator running all day long. Lies, unreliable service and prioritizing their own resort guests ahead of others makes this a -1/5 in my book.

    So fun! You can rent a boat, the views are amazing, and all the different little waterfalls are…read morebeautiful

The different dining areas, the settings..all were so beautiful and you even got to pick your own cup and saucer. Everything was delicious from the kale salad to the mini chocolate cupcake and you could see how much time and care was taken with the preparation. My only suggestion would be instead of a half of a large croissant to have two many croissants which fit more in the scheme of the t-selections. Cream scones melted in your mouth and just fell apart and they have their mix for sale! Clotted cream, lemon curd, raspberry preserve, all were there for the scones. My only suggestion would be instead of a half large croissant, have two mini croissants which fit more in the scheme of the tea selections on the tiered stand. If you haven't, go! You won't be disappointed, and take a bag of the scone mix with you!

The relaxing and peaceful atmosphere…read moreof the Manor and grounds is like stepping back in time to a slower pace of life -- reconnecting with yourself and with nature. Serving an excellent choice of teas, delicious scones, and superb seasonal accompaniments, a tea event held at Willowbrook Manor is an experience you do not want to miss. For those of you, like us, that wish to indulge themselves with something more than just the exquisite opportunity of attending a Willowbrook Tea event, staying at the Manor itself is an amazing, pampering retreat. Terry, the owner and host of Willowbrook Manor, fills every stay with hospitality and opportunities to make your stay the best it could be. There are several eclectic and sleepy little towns within a short drive for those that want go exploring, as well as Willowbrook Manor is right on the Cascadia Loop. So biking and hiking trails are close by for some outdoor adventure. Whether it's for an afternoon event or a weekend getaway, I hope you find yourself soon at Willowbrook Manor.

There are a lot of perks to staying here. The price was comparable during our stay to other hotels that don't have quite the quaint feel, level of service, or room appeal. During your stay you can get complimentary passes to a couple gyms/pools in town. You either make the walk or drive to them however. I do enjoy an attached gym and pool. That was the only downside. You can also get a free pass for a yoga class! The yoga studio is two stores down and seems so fun. I would have scheduled a massage here as it was super reasonably priced for 60 or 90 minutes, but the last booking was nabbed by the time I made up my mind. Also, free bike check out if you happen to be here during nicer weather. Too cold for us. In the room you'll find quality bath amenities, free snacks and drinks, coffee maker, water kettle, teas, and a decent sized fridge. The bathroom had ample towels and nice shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispensers (simple human). There was a hair dryer (not the best) and a lighted makeup mirror. If you've forgotten something (toothbrush/paste, razor, etc) they have some convenient supplies at their front desk per the in-room info folder. The only thing you'll want to note is that our sink/mirror was outside of the shower/bathroom if that matters to you or your roomate. Very clean and appreciate that pets are not allowed here. Would definitely stay here again. Parking: Ample street parking adjacent to the hotel during our stay.

I've never stayed on a property where you are escorted to your room upon checking in and are offered an introduction to all of the details. There are small luxuries everywhere you look. Upscale toiletries and fixtures, the smoothest sheets I've ever slept on, complimentary snack basket in your room. In addition the downtown is charming and immaculate. Flowers overflowing from hanging baskets and decorative pots, Avenue Bread right off the hotel lobby (IYKYK) and cute locally owned shops. Put this inn on your bucket list!
