Place is worth the price. Old motel but not bad for a 1 night stay

Overpriced for the quality of the room. Cost way more than advertised and they kept almost half of deposit.

I like this motel for its price and cleanliness. I lost sleep this time, though, because of the heating system. I was too cold for a long time, and later awakened because it was too hot.

This motel was just as I expected for the low dollar that it cost me.
I was uncomfortable only because I was so cold. The thermostat had been set on only 50 degrees. I arrived to my room at 9:00pm and turned the heat up at that time. It took several hours to get the room heated because everything was so cold. The temperature outside was 22 degrees.
I took my shoes off and went to bed with all my clothes on including my jacket. And I wrapped a bath towel around my head in an effort to retain my own heat.
I had a fitful night. My legs kept cramping because of the cold bed. I had to get up repetitively and sit by the wall heater. I wrapped a bath-towel around my legs and the heater so that the hot air could warm them up.
Each time I got up I turned the thermostat up another 5 degrees. By morning I had it all the way up to 95 degrees and still the room felt only like 68-70. This is because the whole room had been so very cold for so long that it took a long time to get it warmed up again.
The staff should have set their minimal temp at around 65 degrees rather than 50 in the winter time in Wisconsin.

The Welch has cleaned up and remolded. The property is old but they have tried to fix it up. It was a comfortable stay.
However, they no longer accept dogs. We have stayed there for many many years because of it's proximity to Goose Island and the duck hunting we do there. No longer, as they DO NOT allow dogs. Very foolish as we will know take our business elsewhere..

We have stayed in many motels/hotels over the years and have never had this experience before, not even in the south. My husband and 8 year old granddaughter checked into the motel when
it was still daylight. When they entered the room it had a musty, stale smell. They had to leave quickly to set up for a craft show and when they returned it was dark. When they turned on the lights cockroaches were scurrying for cover☹️. Our 8 year old granddaughter was, understandably, freaked out. She went into the bathroom where there were spiders and ants. The aircondtioner was very greasy and dirty. When they pulled down the blankets the sheets appeared to be clean, but there was a large stain on them. Our granddaughter said "Papa, they (the cockroaches) won't bite me when I'm sleeping will they?" In the morning the first thing she said was "Let's get out of here!". We tried to get a refund from the motel and they refused since our room was nonrefundable. Hotels.com gave us $25 in one key credit which is appreciated but doesn't make up for this experience . We did not know that we were renting a cockroach room or we would have booked it as refundable. Or, better yet, wenever made a reservation here in the first place. It turned what should have been a special experience for our granddaughter into a scary, let's just get through this night and get out of here experience. Don't stay here!

Even as a last resort I would prefer to sleep in my car. This place/room is so so outdated Mattress was on a wooden platform, had a distinct odor of old , dead bugs in the window of bathroom like it was never cleaned. A tv that took 45 mins to boot up to watch. No hot water only warm water. Just a truly bad experience and to boot it all I left my phone charger next to the bed and wouldn’t you know it they couldn’t find it. Ha glad I could donate a new iPhone charger. Don’t ever stay here !!!!

Nobody at the desk to check in. They called me and asked me to come early and check in at their convenience. Bugs in the room looks like cockroaches. When I went to complain, they would not answer the door or the phone that is out there.

It was on the main drag... restaurant options were great. Motel staff were extremely friendly.

The owners were very kind and pleasant to work with. I had a heating issue which I didn’t realize until the following day because I arrived late and they came over the next day to fix it. I needed some utensils and they were able to provide that they do not offer a coffee service in the morning but they have a coffee bar with a sign so you will need to get your own coffee or bring it with and heat it up in the room. The area has several places nearby to eat and Walmart is right down the road. The rooms are spacious. I had a 1000 had a walk-in shower. The shower was recently redone. They are working on repainting. It looks to me like they had painted the main wall in the bedroom, but the bathroom still needed to be done along with the other walls, I was there for a volleyball tournaments so I was just there to sleep and it was like a mini apartment. No-frills is definitely a motel and a hotel so the only thing you’re getting is the room there’s no breakfast or anything like that. I felt very comfortable there. It is old fashion where you actually have a key to open your door. They said that they owned one other motel in the area. My only recommendations were to be put different curtains up so it blocks all the lights because on the top, there’s a huge opening, and the light came through, because the rod that’s holding the curtains it’s too far away from the wall. It had a mini fridge in the mini fridge other freezer. There was a microwave and I had a quite large dresser.

They are in the middle of remodeling. Our room was not ready when we arrived so we left and went and ate dinner. The owner was very gracious and said they would give us a discount to make up for it but did not see it on our credit card. The room was nice when we were allowed in..

The place is really rundown- I was charged more than what I booked it at- the lobby was a mess as was the whole outside of the buildings. Once inside the room was ok.

Not so good. People next to me must have been long term renters and were fighting and yelling all night. Could not get to sleep
Hot water on sink didn’t work. Tv didn’t work. Not worth the price. Check in was rude. Was concerned about security if my credit card

Manager was very friendly. Called us in advance to verify arrival and time of check in. There was no hot water in the sink in the bathroom. There was no coffee maker in room and no ice machine on property.

A budget hotel. You get what you paid for. But the hotel could be cleaner. Underneath the bed should be cleaned.

Thank goodness it was not a hot day and the air conditioner needed to be used because it was all taped up and the cover was pushed in. Otherwise it was clean.

Don't let the looks of the outside of this property deter you from staying here. The room was not fancy but it was very clean and comfortable. Even though it is on a busy street once in the room you could not hear the traffic. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. This motel is within a short walking distance to an excellent restaurant called the Hungry Peddler. I do think the price was a little high for a basic motel room but other than that I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Office door was locked and they were putting together a bed frame where I needed to get to the counter. Their credit card reader is in a back room so they take your card out of your site. Stale smell in my room. Some freshener would do wonders. Tv remote was under the bed and drawer handles missing on the dresser.

It's OK. It was close to family and friends. The room didn't come with everything that I thought but it's a good price for the money. I did get biten from Spider's in my Bed and that sucked but I'm not blaming them because that could happen any place. Overall it was fine.
