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

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.

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.

Well first off they lied about having waterpark passes included. Then the building it self was in terrible shape, and the staff was very unhelpful.

I showed up at the motel and was told they didn't have a room for me even though my name was on their list. Apparently they gave it away to someone that paid ahead of time. Disgusting.

No cover for ceiling fan, all dusty. Lack of toweling. No hot water for shower. No facial tissues. I was called Saturday afternoon before checkin that they were overbooked. I made reservation 6 weeks prior. Going to cancel my room, had to take a room with no air.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at River Road. It is very low key and offers no amenities and that's ok! We just needed a basic place to sleep. The rate was extremely reasonable, check in was fast and easy and its clear the manager is here to make your stay great. Would definitely stay again!

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.

Great price for a clean, simple room that's only a two minute walk to the downtown Dells bars. Front desk was very helpful and accommodating as well.
