Welch Motel

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..

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 This place/room is so so outdated Mattress was on a wooden platform, had a distinct odor of old , dead bugs in the window of bathroom like it was never cleaned.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.

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.

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

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