Spinning Wheel Motel, Baraboo

Well for $70 a night I thought it will be ok place to stay, but I was so wrong!!! First I noticed that the room haven't been cleaned for a while, dust everywhere and this annoying smell!! Then I couldn't open the windows to get the fresh air... The air conditioner was pumping filthy air and we couldn't decide what to do- either use the air or not. The bathroom was dirty, bathtub and toilet was not touched since the last guests moved out I think...There was used dirty towel in the bathtub and another one hanging on the bathroom doors. No even mention dirty sheets... Staying in the hotel even for a night was not pleasant at all. I would not recommend to stay there and I am not coming back myself!!!!

I have read some terrible reviews on this Motel and I just didn't see it. I almost didn't come in because of them so I thought and thought I should give my 5 cents worth. I travel around 50 nights a year and stay almost all type of motel. These are middle range hotels that give you the basics for a decent cost. This Spinning wheel Motel while not the lap of luxury gave me what I needed to get thru my week. I had a TV with 50 plus channel. The fridge and microwave worked and the bed was comfortable enough and clean towels in the bathroom. If you want a resort don't come, you need a nice place to sleep it’s a good deal.

I Love The Fact That When I Asked They Moved Me To The Back So My Kids Could Play In the Nice Big Yard They Have. They Are VERY Friendly People!! :)

I was in the Dells area for study purpose. I stayed first at the Dell Creek Motel in Lake Delton until the summer season when tourists began to influx back. Most of the local motels and hotels will not accommodate monthly rental during the summer season. Accidentally, I found one in Baraboo, the Spinning Wheel Motel. At first impression from the management, who were a couple from India, I began to think it’s a pleasant area to stay during my studies. Because of the excitement that I finally found a place that would allow me to stay on a long-term rental, unfortunately, I did not initially take a look at the rooms before paying. This was the enormous mistake that I undertook. When they first gave me room number 16, it was by far the most disgusting, filthy, and sickening motel I have ever been too. The entire room, from carpets to the entire bed (including all bed sheets) to window curtains to the entire bathroom smelled like cigarette smoke. Even the chairs and television set (which had a broken screen) smelled like cigarette smoke. I immediately went and bought 3 spray cans of glade air-fresheners and used the entire 3 cans in the room. That helped for about 30 minutes. I then requested new linens and comforter to be replaced. They then switched me to the “best” room available, room 21. Coming from room 16, room 21 was a whole lot cleaner. It still smelled like cigarette smoke, but not as much. I decided to take the room. After inside the room for about 30 minutes, the odor started to slither under my nose. I went to the local Wal-mart and bought 3 of the strongest odor neutralizing Febreeze containers and a Holmes Air Filter. I sprayed down the entire room with the 3 Febreeze containers and turned on the air filter to maximum. It did not help at all. I got really sick with during the night and was sleepless the entire night. My nose was congested, and my eyes were puffed and swollen. I took the entire night to plan out tomorrow’s event and hopefully to find a new place to stay. I found a motel near the Madison area called Americas Best Value Inn. The next day, I checked out the place and immediately to my astonishment on how clean that place was compared to the Spinning Wheel Motel, and I reserved a room. I drove back to the Spinning Wheel Motel to check-out. When the husband of the couple found out that I was checking-out, he was furious. I thought I was going to have to use my martial arts skills to defend myself. He said he gave me the cleanest room available and where else can I get a room for only $184 per week. I told him that Americas Best Value Inn only charges me $700 per month, and it is a great deal cleaner, practically odor-free. Talk about customer service. He by far is the absolute worst manager I have ever dealt with. I initially paid $184.00 for an entire week. They refund $84.00 only even though I only stayed for one night. When I checked out, I did not care if they refund me or not. I just wanted to let them know that I was leaving. I am not sure why the husband was enraged at me. Luckily, over the years as I aged and become wiser, I have learned to suppress my anger. If this was one decade ago, I would probably get arrested because I probably would have kicked the living shit out of the husband, possibly hospitalize him. PLEASE do not stay there. You will be disappointed.

i loved staying atthe spinning wheel motel! it was nice and quiet. the management helped me very much and was very friendly. i will definitley be coming back. Whatever reviews were already written are wrong because ive stayed and i know how the managment acts.

I liked this motel very very musch. The prices were reasonable, and it was in a very nice location.

This was a very nice motel and i dont see why most of you are complaining. If you think its so bad then why dont you purchase a motel and try to take care of it yourself? The management made me feel as if i was home. And obviously if you come to check out at 8:30 in the morning you're going to have to wake someone up! I mean they live there for god sakes! Just because you have to wake up early doesnt mean everyone else has to! Their check out time is 10 o clock NOT 8:30. And if you wanted to leave, you could've left the key in the room. You really shouldnt complain because i bet none of you people have ever tried to work in a motel, if you want something fancy then go to a five star hotel!

I loved this place. I would come here every summer. I like a lot of things for this motel. I liked my room and it was really clean. We stayed in 35 and it was a nice room.

A $40.00 per night rate is exorbitant for this hole. Where does one even start? The filthy bathroom counter was about to come loose from the wall. There weren't enough elctrical outlets to accomodate the tv, fridge and lamp, so you had to take a disgusting journey BEHIND the dresser to plug/unplug stuff as you needed it. We foresaw that it might be a dive and brought our own sheets and pillows, but I felt like I had to fumigate THOSE after a night's contact with that nightmare of a bed. I agree - the only positve comments posted here are from the owners. It was probably a clean, quaint motel at one time. They probably bought as a condemned property, got it barely up to code and turned the lights on.

It is so obvious the owners are writing the good reviews!! Check out the reviews that give 5 stars. ALL of them have the same poor syntax and are written in the same broken English! Sad. Just clean the sheets and carpets (or replace them and raise the rates slightly) and you wouldn't have to write your own reviews to make up for the dirty conditions legitimate travelers complain of.
