Had to ring a doorbell to check in which was unanswered for hours. Room was unclean, electrical outlet was hanging outside of the wall, a few bugs were found squashed on the wall. Curtains did not cover the window so we hung our own beach towel to have privacy because the room had no towels in it. Tried to request towels but the doorbell was not answered. We Felt unsafe so not recommended

Do not stay here

We've traveled over seas, and stayed in some dumpy motels at times, but this rates among the worst. The room had not been cleaned, the office staff was not helpful. We left and found another motel.

Downtown Skid Row

We were so disappointed. The room had no towels or sheets on the bed. No soap or coffee or cups. Towels were promised but never delivered. Railings on the steps are broken. The outlets don’t have covers. Bathroom seemed partially renovated.
No wall decor- not sure what is going on with the ceiling, possible leak repair?

DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked this hotel for 2 nights through Expedia. Upon arrival, my travel companion and I were told that the hotel had been overbooked and the only room they had "available" was a room where a pipe had recently burst and the room was dirty but that we could stay in it if we wanted.....as if anyone actually is going to say yes to staying in a dirty room with a burst water pipe. We scrambled to find a last minute hotel room which ended up costing me an additional $70 because it was so last minute. River Road told me my money would be returned to me within a few days. Its been 2 weeks and still NO REFUND. Expedia and myself have called over and over leaving messages (the calls always go straight to voicemail) and still nothing. I have to accept at this point that i will never see that money again.

Went to check in, was told IMMEDIATELY they didnt have rooms even though we had a reservation. They didnt ask for a name, NOTHING They just wanted to take our money and laugh in our face. Stay elsewhere, if all else fails theres a nice dumpster, im sure it would provide better service and be more accommodating

The room we had could use some improvements. The toilet paper holder was not attached. The shower was very dark. The mattresses were decent, but I'd bring your own bedding.

On the website it says free water passes and when we got here it does not. Than I paid for a king and they gave us a very very uncomfortable queen. Only one wood chair to sit in and the air conditioner is so old and loud.

Location great. Its an older motel so I can't understand why people complain about the rooms. Went there for a few days with my wife and daughter who is 3. Staff is amazing. Very polite and extremely helpful. Very kind. For an older motel and as someone who travels the world, I'm amazed its pretty well kept. The only thing I would say needs work is the locks. Locks fine but door would be able to be opened while locked pretty easy. Just tighten a little. But I had no worries at all. Also the fridge was a little iffy. But worked fine. Only other thing I would change is put blackout curtains on all windows. Light pretty bright in the morning. But not complaining. Room. Room for an older motel was fine. No complaints. First time my wife and daughter have been to the Dells. I felt safe. Clean beds and clean bathroom. Location is awesome. Right by the river and a block or 2 from Wizard Quest and a block from Ripley's. Everything is within walking distance for shopping and eating. Walked the street 3 times. All said, I give this place 5 Stars and I'd definitely come back. My daughter doesn't sleep well anywhere but home, but slept both nights perfectly. All night she slept. I was very comfortable sleeping also. Despite these 1 star complaints, I definitely recommend this place. Just remember, its an older motel, not a 500 star hotel resort that some expect. Its a great place for comfort and polite staff. Thank you for the great stay. We will be back.

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.
