You got what you paid for

The staff was very friendly. You get what you pay for. Unfortunately wanted to shower before going to a show only to find out we had no cold water only hot. They did get a maintenance guy out there to try and fix it but they never told us whether it was fixed or not. She did offer to change our room but really wanted us to wait till maintenance got there. Unfortunately we had to go to the show and by the time we got back the office was closed.

We liked the location . Close to downtown. The building is old but rooms clean. Had to ask for extra towels as there were only 2 in the bathroom and only one washcloth. Difficult finding staff at first but very helpful when we found them

Run away and never look back

Went to check in at 3pm and none of the keys were ready because they were cleaning. Once we got to our room it was nasty. Floor was not vacuumed, vomit powder on the floor, bathroom wasn’t clean just wiped down. Mirrors were dirty and there was no hand towel, soap or toilet paper! There were even dead bugs on the wall. Went back to the counter and explained the room situation she said she didn’t believe me! I said see for yourself and asked for a new room, the owner said they were booked solid but she would give a refund and started clicking away. I asked if we get to keep the room she said no you need to leave so I told her to wait because we just got here and don’t know if there was anything else available. (There was not) so I said well can you at least have someone reckless our room. She sent her kid to vacuum… Her son said they ordered supplies last week and would be here today (checking reviews they were out for 3 weeks). Then they double booking our room because we had a gentleman walk in. To top it off our ac kept cutting off and wouldn’t go back on. It was hot and humid, so the room became very stuffy and uncomfortable. We left and when asked for a refund I was told no. Ontop of that! We saw her son at the bar before we went to check in and he was hammering drinks down. Noticed him at check out. And he was hitting on some of the ladies coming in to check in. (We know it was him because she was next to us) Stay far far away from this place.

Do not stay!!

Reserved a room for one night stay for my wife's birthday well in advanced. Showed up a little before 4pm (check in after 3pm), stood outside the office ringing the door bell for 10 minutes. The place kind of looked ran down. No clue why an office would be locked during check in hours. Finally someone answered and we were told they were over booked. They couldn't email me or call me in advanced. DO NOT TRUST this property! Whether they need to work with the expedia group to figure out the booking or pull this listing from their database all together. Just know if you book there is a good chance you'll be needing to find another place to stay. Wouldn't want anyone going through the headache we had to go through!

This was the worst experience ever in my travels. Basically I received a call on the day of checkin that the hotel was overbooked. Because I was on a tour I couldn’t take the call so River Road Motel left me a message. I called back after my tour and left a message for the reception at River Road Motel to call me back. She never called me back. I arrived at the hotel after driving over an hour from Harmony, Minnesota to the motel in Wisconsin Dells. A girl past my husband was obviously upset after leaving the motel office. She said that they were overbooked. The door at the motel office had a note on the window to push the doorbell for service. As soon as the receptionist (Sarah) opened the door she told us “We are overbooked and I already turned away 5 people!” My husband works as a manager at a hotel and told her that she should find us another hotel because we drove ver far to stay at the River Road Motel. She said that she was working on that. She wanted our phone number so that she could call us back but it was already after 4:30 pm. She said AmerInn had rooms and we could try booking over there. She apologized but she really didn’t seem to care. My husband asked for the e-mail of the owner and she said that she didn’t have his e- mail. She finally gave my husband an e-mail for the owner but the e- mail was a bogus e-mail to a contracting company that she is associated with. Very unprofessional service! First time that happened to me!

This place is a dump. I didn't feel safe staying here. Nothing at all like the pics. We left and didn't stay there. We booked a different hotel and ate the cost of this motel.
