Never even met the proprietors (got in late at night and left early in the morning for the Rendezvous Huts), but manager was friendly and left our room warm and clean for our arrival. Hotel is steps from the downtown area, including ski rentals and bakery. Nothing fancy, but no complaints either.

Each room has a small balcony facing the river, and this was very pleasant. There is no lobby, and no elevator, but ok as there are only 3 levels, with the street level in the middle. The hotel is on the main highway on the south side of downtown (about 2 blocks long), and we anticipated noise, but there was... More

Not the cheapest place in town but definitely a good value in terms of accommodations and location. Room was bright and airy on the river. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The location on the edge of the small town was very convenient. Highly recommended.

We stopped here because of the location, we did not have a reservation. We asked to see a room and the hot tub before we made a decision to stay. As it was still early in the day, we were asked to come back in an hour and our room would be ready. We took a stroll down the main... More

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Rio Vista when hiking the Cascades on the east side of the mountains and were very impressed. Very nice room with balcony view of river and right in town. The staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend a stay here!

Stayed 2 week nights in late June 2011. Pluses: balcony view, comfortable beds, clean room, hot tub, walkable to town, free wi-fi. Minuses: a tad pricey, no breakfast, no lobby,

Really enjoyed being on the river. The hotel is in town and close to everything, but you feel more nature than city in your room with the river running so close. The front desk people were helpful and friendly. Parking was easy and close to the room. The room was nicely decorated with a western theme and had a balcony... More

The Hotel Rio Vista is perfectly located along side the Metho River in Downtown Winthrop which is itself in the heart of the Metho Valley. Our room was big, nicely appointed, and the Balcony view over looking the river was worth the price of the room. The room was quiet ,relaxing, and comfortable, and the perfect launch pad for our...
