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.

There is an expectation when you book a hotel/motel that at the very least, you will have a decent bed, you will feel safe, and the environment will not pose any health issues. Unfortunately that is not the case with this motel. We arrived and were immediately suspicious. The parking lot is dark. No cars present other than ours. Check in although easy only lended to our apprehension. An aggresive dog is present at the front desk and the coffee maker doesn't work Upon entering the room with a hand written code on a sheet of paper.. yup.. anyone could have this code, we knew this was a very poor choice and not indicative of the pictures on the internet. Once in the room.. the smell of mold overtook us. It was clear that there had been, or still does, have or had severe water damage at some point that had not been fully remediated. I'm allergic to mold so my reactions started immediately. One of the beds swayed in the middle and had a downward slant to the foot of the bed that could not be slept in. Upon examination, this bed was supported by several pieces of previously wet plywood boards. The curtains wouldn't shut (they were hung wrong), the only window that would open had no screen or lock. The wall unit air conditioner had 3/4 inch of dust. Cant turn that on. Stains of makeup or blood on the comforters.. We left and although promised a refund.. I'm doubtful. Young lady at the front desk was nice but helpless.Got a hotel elsewhere. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Place was cute! Clearly still in the midst if remodeling and such, once in our room a staff member just walked in without knocking assuming it was empty- so communication was a little poor. Otherwise the owner is a gem! Loved her and would stay here again for a short little trip.
