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.

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.

NO, DON'T DO IT!
Do not stay here! The only plus was the wonderful staff. Nothing worked. No fan in bathroom, no mini fridge, no volume on TV. The AC unit was so high up on the wall i had to go outside to find a stick long enough to click it on. Bed was comparable to a fold out couch mattress. Very uncomfortable.

No. No. No.
Check-in time was 3p, we arrived around 630p, room wasn’t ready. Stated she “fell asleep.” Then told us that the room would still not be ready for another 30 minutes. Again, this was already after 3p check-in time. Meanwhile, her sister came into town and surprised her and her meet and greet was more important than getting us into a room sooner rather than later. The significance of this poor review, is that we had been a long road trip, on a motorcycle, 1100 miles. We were an hour and a half away from home and was exhausted. This was our last night to get rested and get home the next day. Then, plumbing was bad in the shower. You couldn’t take a shower long enough before the tub starting filling up because the pressure(not complaining on that part) was so hard that it filled the tub quicker than you could shower. On tap of that, the toilet seat was falling off. Doesn’t make it easy for sitting.. I get it, we weren’t paying for the most luxurious experience but should still be in par condition. Especially in one of the most visited places in Wisconsin.

Perfect Downtown Location!
We have stayed at the River Road Motel a couple of times now and keep coming back. This motel is perfectly located in walking distance to downtown Dells and the Riverwalk. Sara (Manager) and her staff are very nice, accomodating and attentive. Each room we've stayed in has been different in terms of size, furniture, etc. and Sara has been working hard to upgrade as much as possible, inside & out. If you're looking for a clean, value priced roadside motel, River Road is great choice.
