My wife and I have stayed at Mom's Motel many times over the past 10+ years, under the same management the entire time. The motel is located in a quiet part of Chelan and has a classic small town atmosphere even though it is located an easy walk to a coffee shop (Latte Da) and very close to the locally famous Apple Cup Cafe. We can easily drive to the big attractions for our kids (Slide Waters or the city park with a beach on Lake Chelan), and attractions for us parents (there are many great vineyards in the area). Guests are allowed free use of the BBQ grill (just ask!), and the well shaded, grassy areas outside with picnic tables make for relaxing reading, conversation, star gazing, or studying hang gliders and parasailers in the skies. We've brought our bikes most years and found it easy to ride across town and up Lake Chelan for an extremely gorgeous ride along the shore, up to 20+ miles before turning around when we are feeling ambitious. Evenings are quiet. A charming location, well priced, with free wi-fi.

We stayed here with another couple and enjoyed the modest cabins which included a microwave, coffee maker, water boiling pot. One block off the main street.

I don't know what the other reviewers are using for comparison, but this place is scary. The positives - it was clean. The caretaker, Murray, was nice enough. The negatives - After checking in earlier in the day, I arrived at my room about 9:30 PM. The grounds were dark and I couldn't see to get my key in the door to unlock it. Not a problem however, because the room was unlocked. Meaning anyone could have strolled into my room and been waiting when I arrived. The first thing I noticed when I entered the room was a substantial slope to the floor - visible to the naked eye. It was so pronounced that the bathroom door would swing open unless fully closed. The water in the shower pooled in the corner and didn't fully drain as a result of the slope as well. The walls were vintage 60's wood paneling. Those that were not paneled had been mudded with drywall mastic and never even sanded before being painted over. It looked like a home improvement project gone very wrong. The walls were adorned with various heating and air-conditioning units. Apparently, when one went out, a new hole was cut to put in another. The light over the bed had no switch. You have to stand on the bed to pull the chain to turn it on. The bed, of course, sloped with the floor. It also has no headboard. The mattress was just butted up against the wall. This turned out to be a positive, because my pillow clanked against the blinds masked behind the curtains, alerting me to the fact that I could draw the blinds to mask the spot-light that was shining into the window. There was no bed cover on the bed. Just a sheet and blanket. The was a fairly useless "kitchenette" that occupied a good portion of the room, causing the rest of the room to be crowded. A miss-mash of utensils a orange vinyl chairs completed the décor. Oh, and a hotel-type coffee maker, but no coffee. The place was fitting for a hunting cabin, but not a motel in a resort town. I paid about $85 for the night because I only needed a place to sleep for a few hours. I haven't stayed at a $20/night room for a long time, but they were nicer than this. I'd like to be for supportive of the local mom and pop businesses, but readers are going to be deceived by the glowing reviews previously posted here (like I was). Sorry, Mom. You really need some serious upgrading to this property.

My son and I rolled into Chelan for a one-night stay before boarding the Lady of the Lake the next morning. We were so fortunate to check out Mom's first. I was greeted by the owner who encouraged me to check out the unit before committing to the night's stay. Our cottage had two bedrooms, a kitchenette, living room, and picnic table under a large shade tree, all for well under $100/night. Instead of going out to eat, we grilled steaks on the owner's gas grill and had a great picnic dinner just outside our unit. The unit was very clean and well appointed, complete with coffee service and all the utensils you would need for a long stay. I look forward to my next visit to Mom's - very friendly and comfortable.

I stayed there by myself for 7 nights. It was not my original plan, but changed my mind because it was very comfortable to stay at the motel. The location is in the residential area, so it is very quiet even during daytime. It is not very new, but the room is properly clean everyday. Also, price is economical, and the owner is very nice + helpful. My needs were supermarket, lake, river, library, and coffee shop. All are located in 1-10 minutes by car. For cat lovers, the owner has a couple of adorable kitties.

First of all the name "Mom's Motel" doesn't describe it well. Mom's is a quiet old fashioned set of individual cabins. The owner is super nice and available 24hrs a day. The cabin we stayed in was one bedroom one bathroom with a small kitchen and the main area had a large tv and desk with chair. It also had another bed towards the back of room. Loved this place and highly recommend.

My girlfriend and myself decided to visit Lake Chelan last minute this week. We usually stay at resort like places. Everything was booked up so we looked at motels. I booked this based on other reviews. The owner Murray is a darling man. He is gentle and allowed us to view our room to make sure we liked it. When we first drive up we were hesitant as many of the patrons were outside and it was busy. We assumed perhaps there would be some drinking and noise but there was not a peep. Everything was respectful. We were grateful for the AC. Our room had two beds separated by a wall and door. The bedding and towels were beautiful.. hotel style and super comfy pillows. We used the fridge and freezer (tip bring cooler bag & ice packs as you don’t want to leave wine in the car with the high heat). This location is fantastic.. walk to town. It’s safe and super quiet. The building is old but immaculate inside. We really enjoyed our three night stay.

I had been to Chelan to see Chelan classic paragliding event. Few of my friends were staying there and i got a room for 50$ a night at the peak season. This is a small family owned and maintained Motel. They show a lot of love in keeping the place clean and green. Good place to just sit out , make your barbeque while talking to other guests. Close to the lake and centre of town.

We stayed here in Chelan this past weekend and found it to be a delightful place to stay. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The owner was so nice and was willing to work with us on our needs. We'll stay again if the need arises!
