The Colwell Motel was recommended to us by a local resident. For $54, we had two rooms with a double or queen bed in each, plus a TV in each room and a sofa. Aside from a burned out light bulb, there was nothing wrong with the room. The beds were comfortable. Yes, it's near the tracks--what isn't? It's a... More

For the past 5 years, working on a book on american agriculture, I have commuted between New York and Ritzville WA. I am a photojournalist and have contributor to various Travel magazines including the NY Times. I highly recommend the Colwell hotel as a home base to explore the town and surrounding communities. It is clean, safe, hospitable and right... More

This was the worst place I've ever stayed! The managers were unavailiable, the pool was full of what we thought were possibly their friends or family so wasn't possible to swim! The man behind the desk acted very strange toward us & the female was strange as well! The office area smelled of cigarette smoke badly, as did our room,... More

Whenever we travel I have already researched where to stay & mke reservations. This place was totally mis-represented online. And it is not Colwell Americas Best Value Inn. It's called something else which made it difficult to find...Ritzville is a very small community. We would have stayed somewhere else if the town wasn't booked up & I didn't care about... More

We stayed at this hotel about three years ago and we were pleasantly surprised at what a good value it was at the time... good beds and pillows, new linens and towels... very clean, etc. We decided to stay there again when passing through town and we were sorely disappointed this time. Bed and pillows were terrible, linens stained and... More

We stayed there for just one night, but that was plenty. When we first checked in the manager had made an error and booked us in a smoking room. We should have known better when the door was hard to open. Upon entering we just about passed out and immediately went back to the desk. We were then upgraded to... More

We needed a room for the night and our usual Spokane locations were booked. We saw the reviews and decided to book a night here. Its in the main part of town away from Interstate 90 so it was a bit confusing to find. The rooms were large, clean and beds comfortable. Granted - this is a motor hotel style... More

The manager, Tresa, went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. There is a lovely little outdoor pool, but we arrived too late (it was too cool) to take advantage of it. Great value for a clean, comfortable stay.

This is an older motel. I normally would associate the 'motel' style as flea bags. NOT this motel. The room was very clean, large, and comfortable! The staff went out of their way to accomadate us. They have a big bin of books, if you want to read, coffee 24/7 and free cookies that appeared to be home made! The... More
