The short version........poor food, ONLY bottled beer available ("Draft beer didn't work out for us. It ain't that kind of place"), and terrible, slow service. We should have known it might be a problem when we realized there were only two other customers for lunch. We had lunch here during a previous visit to Winthrop a couple of years ago,... More

We stayed for one night, a family of five. Got a huge room that accomodated all five easily, including a roll out bed. Room has rustic design, with high wooden ceilings. We found the room clean and comfortable. There is no TV, but we considered this a plus. We ate both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, they have a... More

We have eaten here other trips a few years ago for dinner only. Back then, it was still the old-west style inside with antiques, low lighting, dark wood, etc. We understood this place now has new ownership, management and we saw that the inside had been remodeled. The remodeling is fresher, lighter and opens it up a bit. But, it... More

My wife and I visit Winthrop for a week at least once a year, from Kelowna BC. We stay at Sun Mountain Lodge, and often drive down to the town for breakfast or lunch, at the Duck Brand Inn. We've been doing this for years, and have always been delighted with the place. Excellent Mexican food served piping hot will... More

This hotel is essentially a meth lab...I travel back and forth through this area often and due to a major car malfunction I got stuck here. I've reviewed this hotel before and had a terrible experience and against my better judgement to sleep in the bush's nearby I wound up once again in the crypt. Music bumping until 11 rattling...

When I booked the place I was attracted to the price and reputation of the establishment. Sadly I didn't read the reviews until after I arrived. The place is, as one reviewer put it, a nosedive to bankruptcy. Clearly they are in financial dire straits as the upkeep has slipped. Too bad as the location is great.

This place is in a nosedive to hell. It's been three years since I last reviewed the Duck Brand, and it's changed drastically. Sad to say, it's not for the better. I used to really enjoy a night here. Not now. Not until lots of changes are made, if ever. The room was the same as far as the bed.... More

We did not stay here but we did eat here. I see a mixed bag of reviews here - quite a few bad reviews of the food, etc. Our food experience was good. Service was good and friendly. We sat out on the deck overlooking the street - a nice atmosphere but a very old building that needs some repair... More

Last year we ate dinner here and it was quite good and we enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the town. However, this year we were very disappointed with the Mexican entree that we ordered and in fact couldn't eat it. The personnel were very kind in our criticism and apologized.

I recently stayed at the duck brand hotel with my girlfriend because it was the only place with vacancy on our trip through to the river. I was foolish I admit it and got taken for it. I should have listened to my previous review when I scorched them for their 90's rock hit cd stuck on repeat from 6:30am-11:00pm.... More
