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!

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay fore. My bathroom had a window, when looking out the window there is a wall of another building and wires/cables and a birds nest. Curtains on the window would have been appreciated. The air conditioner didn't work very well. When paying for the room, I asked that my bank card not be charged. I gave them a credit card to charge. When I got my bank statement, the staff had charged my bank card. Not cool River Road Motell

We got to the property at 8:25pm and there was no one in the office. We rang the bell like the note on the door says to, knocked but no answer. I called the property numerous times and left a message and also wrote a message to them but have yet to hear back. We walked around the property trying to find someone but could not. We were unable to check in so I contacted Expedia and they were not able to get ahold of the property either. Their office hours posted are showing them being open until 9pm.

We had two rooms booked. When we arrived at 6pm a very young staff (maybe 16 years old) sadly told us that they were overbooked. I asked if the owner or manager was there. I had spoken to the manager and confirmed everything a week before. She was in tears. I called why they didn't call us and let us know so we can get a different hotel? She said the owners didn't want her to call people. It was a sad mess and weird. I felt bad for the manager and young staff member.

Check in was good and staff friendly enough. Room is fine; for the price, you kind of know what to expect, However, the room had absolutely no towels of any kind. Told the front desk clerk and she said they were being washed and she’d bring them. However, when we got back to room from dinner around 9pm, we still had no towels. Lobby was locked and there’s a bell to ring for apparent service, but nobody came. Tried again in the morning, after 7am and had same experience. Nobody at front desk and no response was o bell. Even called and got no answer. Consequently , was not able to shower. Seems very odd that a hotel in a major tourist spot would be so unavailable and unresponsive to guests.

Upon viewing photos of this motel, it looked charming. Upon arrival, I was shocked! The exterior was tar papered and graffiti everywhere. Remodeling or NOT, what a misrepresentation. I asked for the King bed and received a Queen. I reserved with a credit card but I asked to pay cash upon arrival. Of course, they charged my credit card and now I have returned for insufficient funds fees. There is no hair dryer, coffee maker (web page says free coffee and ice), no ice. No cups in the room & only 2 medium sized, mismatched towels. Only 1 washcloth & NO hand towels. The shower curtain was over a foot too long. It is virtually impossible to find anyone at the front desk to ask for extra towels, etc. “ring the bell or call this #. On my third day, a very drugged out woman who claimed to be the on site manager said that hadn’t done laundry yet (2PM). Told me to put my sheets and towels outside door. They would bring some. 4 hours later, nothing. When I went to the desk the same woman said that she fell asleep and didn’t have any linens, etc available YET! A couple of small towels and sheets were given to me . No pillow cases. I had make my own bed.( Just a note: when got under the sheets the 1st night, I found a narcotic pill that wasn’t mine.) No lamp by the bed so I had only one other lamp across the room . I fell trying to find the bed, bruised my leg & hit my head. I have a concussion.) Talked to another so-called mgr upon departure. She claimed that they were always available.
