I have been holding off on writing these words for too long…read more Today I'm breaking that silence. Today I just read the first and only review of this place. That was written by a woman about 4 years ago. During better times. As far as the previous owners better times I concur, a very solid 5 stars as well as glowing kind words. As previously experienced her words were spot on and this little motel was very reasonably priced and a fine place to stay. At least I'm certain they properly reflected this lovely property and spoke very well of Linda the woman I got to know beginning around June 2021. That was before. New ownership means new something new to follow. Change is the only thing that always remains the same. Here's new ownerships benefits: * Increased price! * No WiFi / Internet! * AC promptly broke down, during last heat wave! (STILL DOWN!) * Seven surveillance cameras! * BOX ELDERS! More than you can kill! * On Site septic system, overdue for routine maintenance since AUGUST! * Flies outnumber Boxelders 5:1 on warm days! * Even when the new owner assured me this wasn't going to be affecting myself or any of the current residents. I've been renting a room as an office for my small handyman/electrical service business office June 2021. When the internet/WiFi was removed, and an assured promise it's return in a week came and passed, becoming 6 weeks and instead of the WiFi reappearing, a dozen surveillance cameras sprouted up like mushrooms one night. Some appear to be powered, others not. The AC stopped working just as the final Indian summer resurgence of +80F a week ago. All said, this is not likely to be a thing once new owners. Word in the area of small time remodeling/construction companies such as mine is the slumlord LLC that are Bel Aires proud new owners, are owners of at least 4-5 properties in the Madison area. This is more of a preview. Though my words primarily and accurately review my actual experience as a resident for 5 months.

Nice quaint motel just off the highway. Check in was easy & the lady was friendly and personable…read more The room wasn't very big, but was large enough for a bed, night stand, desk, fridge, coffee maker,and tv. I liked that it had hard floors instead of carpet. The bathroom was clean & had a beautiful shower curtain like one I'd find at home. I will be staying here again next time I'm in town visiting family.

First off, there is no open attractions for like a whole mile. I mean if you looking for a place to…read moresleep for 1 night this place might be O.K. But if your sleeping here longer, this won't do the trick. The rooms were way to small and there was no heater when we needed it. This motel is terrible and I'm glad I found another place to stay than this place. The rooms look nothing like they were on the internet. They should probably close down and think of making the rooms more fancy and less cramped. But the service is pretty good which is why I gave it 2 stars.

I'm rating this entirely based on the cheap rates. I would never plan to stay here and definitely…read morenot plan a vacation here (my friends call me fancy because of my affinity for nice hotels)...BUT, when severe thunderstorms threatened our tents at nearby Mirror Lake State Park and we packed up and fled in the night....this place hit the spot. Close. Cheap and Dogs Allowed! I rolled in around 11:00 on a Saturday night desperate for a place to sleep - a single room was only $60 and a friend joined me so we split a double for $70. You get what you get for that price - bad sheets and the kind of shower you wear your flip flops into. No toiletries provided other than soap. The outdoor pool actually didn't look too bad. So, if you are reading this because you are driving through a rain/snow-storm and are seeking shelter, this will do. If you are online researching a future trip, you can do better (unless you are a total tightwad who won't spend more than $100 on a room)

I booked a reservation to stay here in October 2025. I was traveling with my autistic, nonverbal…read moredaughter. While I was checking in, she sat in a chair in the lobby. She was watching a video and laughing. The older man checking us in had a sour face the entire time. After I paid for the room, he told me that he was not going to allow us to stay there if my daughter was going to bother the other guests. I was aghast. I explained to him that she is autistic. He didn't seem to understand or care. He said to take proper care of her to keep her quiet, or we couldn't stay there. So, we left. So, my advice, especially if you or your children have special needs, stay away. Spend your money and stay someplace else. Avoid this shameful, uncaring place owned by an angry, uncaring man.

I have traveled all my life. However the absolute worse motel I've been to and encourage others to…read moreavoid is the spinning wheel motel in Baraboo, Wisconsin. To start it's run by a senior couple who the husband runs front desk. His unbelievable hateful nature and condescending attitude took me aback. To start. I booked a room which I was quoted 230.00 a week. Upon showing up. He jacked up my room by 50.00 a week to 280.00. Then the most hateful mannerism blew me away. I wanted to rent a month to find a suitable home. Well he scammed me at a price of 1204.00 with the inflated price of 280.00 a week times 4.3 weeks in a month. 50.00 X 4.3 =an additional 215.00 expense. I wanted to hold him to the quote of 230.00 but rudely he told me if I don't like it leave and find another hotel. I went to the room and it was dirty. The microwave was uncleaned and filthy. Also it did NOT work. The toilets were little people size. My testicles literally were in the toilet water. The toilet was very old and primitive It had a nasty tub. Scum ring and the handle in the tub was never ever cleaned. As brown human oils and film coated the shower bar. Who sits in a nasty dirty tub? The amenities were poor. The base of the toilet had brown fecal residue all around it. This isn't the worse yet. I wanted to use my microwave. But it was literally broken besides uncleaned. I went to the front desk to get some assistance. He told me I was Crazy ! And that if I don't like my microwave move out immediately with the most deplorable hate towards my request and myself. I said ,Sir I'm just asking for some help. He refused and told me again it worked and there were NO others to replace it. And again threatened me to evict me out of the room paid for. Because only in hateful spite. I went back to my room unplugged it and carried it to the front desk. He refused to even come to my room. Referring to me as nuts. I set it down on a coffee table. Which he refused me to have any coffee..?? Why only daily people can have coffee. His insane behavior gets worse. So I plug it in and his wife comes upfront. He is swearing in Hindi and telling his wife. I'm a nut. For 15 minutes this front office owner couldn't get it to work. His wife also sees the filthy Interior of the micro and herself appalled. It doesn't work ! Needless to say she says.. go get another in the storage garage. He was a liar he had more. And she embarrassed this insane man. As he went out back .. she says he is a little disturbed. A little ?? This is the owner and works front desk. I carry the replacement back to my room. Service is not to be seen. I go back to my room and left my keycard inside. With total fear I walk back to the office. I politely said, Sir I'll give you $10 to let me into my room. He immediately looked at me with a revenge scorn. Then said move out. I don't want your type here . You go find some other motel. Bewildered but threatened again I went back and started to pack up. He stood about 20 yards away to watch. How Odd he couldn't get off his ass to help except take my money and evict me. I took pics to verify my experience. Please folks sleep under a tree before ever renting here. The place was as old as the couple . Candidly should be torn down and genuine people rebuild a modern building.

Sure the furnishings are very retro, but everything is well maintained. The bathroom in my room even looked as if it had been retiled somewhat recently. I actually sort of prefer the "dated" feel as it's cozy and like home. Some of the ultra modern hotels just aren't comfy and I don't sleep well. The pool and hot tub are great. The breakfast was also surprisingly good with breakfast pizza and biscuits and gravy on top of your typical continental breakfast fare. Overall, I don't think you'll be disappointed, especially for the amazing price. If I find myself in need again, Cedarberry will be on the top of my list.

We definitely will be booking again!

DO NOT BOOK THIS MOTEL. We had a dreadful experience with the owner who we had to call because she…read morenever sent a confirmation email after we tried to book and paid her outrageous fee. Spent a half an hour on the phone with her and she was incomprehensible, couldn't figure out her website (by her admission!)and then insisted we send her a photo of a government issued ID with all identifying info AND a picture of us over our cellphone before she would give us a reservation. (Racism?)We got off the phone and sent an email to cancel our request and refund the fee. She sent back an email that the fee was not refundable! We replied that we expected her to refund it since we never received a confirmation and had no reservation. A credit appeared on our credit card the next day but then was removed and the charge remained. We have filed a dispute with our credit card company and will also be contacting the STate of WIsconsin. DO NOT do business with this woman.

I understand the house is old, but faucets shouldn't leak, and the mattress should not have a big divot. Upon arrival, Julie made somewhat of an effort to interact and showed us to our room. The showerheads and Italian lotion and hand soap are nice. The quality of workmanship on repairs left something to be desired. The dining room and stained glass were very well preserved. The constant pressure to donate, tip, and buy things was distasteful. The breakfast was was okay, but definitely would not define as homemade or gourmet: especially the brown and serve sausage. The French press coffee was nice, until the level got low, and the press and coffee looked greasy: like there was greasy water or dish soap in it. Food and coffee were luke warm the 1st day. A little better after. Fruit was fresh. Saturday night they had a loud fundraiser. I wish they would have done it on a day or time they were closed to the public: but not the end of the world. Doorbell could be heard regularly: including late at night. Walked out of our room to someone listening at our door. Very creepy. We felt like we were intrudingnand heard constant complaints about having to make breakfast. We generally stay in 3 star places, but was the Walmart of our experiences.
