Awesome location

Well, read some bad and some good reviews so here was our experience. Check in was smooth. Room 4 was clean enough. Floor and curtains could have used a little more work but bathroom was clean. After a 16 hour trip, we were looking forward to a nice shower but shower was broken. So had to do a bit of a sponge bathing but there was only one facecloth for two people. The office closes at 9 and it was past that when we realized we did not have a shower nor enough facecloths for plan B. Plenty of very hot water, and sheets were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of heat on a cold night but it was so loud. Woke me up. There was a door to an adjourning room which was locked and chained but you could hear the people in that room quite clearly. The front door is a coded entry but had no bolt lock or chain lock on the inside. I ended up pushing a chair up against it, not that i feared a breakin, but you never know. I don’t know if they change the code every time a guest leaves. Location of the motel was within a short walking distance of the main road. Really awesome. We paid a very inexpensive price for the room booked through an online site and i suppose they have rooms designated for different price ranges so i guess you get what you pay for. Not sure if i would go back. Maybe if i could see other rooms.

Door and door hardware seemed flimsy and easily breached. No inside door chain. One bedside lamp was the only light in main room. Colored bath towels due not instill confidence they are properly laundered. Parking area and area around door not cleared of snow. Only one small inadequate rug inside door. One very thin sheet and and a bed spread, no bed blankets.

Never stay at River Road Motel Wisc Dells

Beware- Never stay at this hotel! It’s been sold and the new management is awful!!!! Once we checked in we couldn’t reach anyone to assist us. The shower was cold and the power was out on half the room. The office was locked and attempts to reach anyone went unanswered. We were the only guests along with our friends in another room. On top of this we were overcharged an additional room and multiple attempts to resolve this situation were met with various excuses. This is so unfortunate as we previously stayed at this motel once every winter for the previous several years without any incident.

Our check-in was fine. We stayed for two nights - only 1 set of towels - no hand towels or washcloths. No one available after check-in by phone or the buzzer. I'm hoping the right owner will take better care of the place. This has always been our "go to" in winter months. Love the location

Whole room flooded, pipe bursted in the unit above us flooded out whole room, leaked on our heads! Then after everything said they didn’t have another room for us had to get a refund and drive 15 minutes to a different hotel at 10pm at night.

Nope

Booked a king bed and given 2 queens. Gal said website isn’t theirs and she had no control on the rooms. Towels and pillow cases stained. Very noisy neighbors. Didn’t care for the owner so I wouldn’t stay there again. Location is great.
