I cannot rate this property since I did not actually stay there. I was under the impression it was "on the river", when actually it is "overlooking the river". The person who called me about my "no show" rated the property quite highly and said it is a "must see to appreciate". Maybe next time?!

Nice place but a few issues.
This is a nice little motel, with great views of the river. Grounds were nice, with amenities for guests to use. It's a nice quiet area and has great "curb appeal". No, there is no ice or soda machine, as some complained about. Not a huge deal, plan ahead or run down the hill to the station or store. The room was small but clean, yet had some issues & was not quite finished. The corner cabinet was kind of a make shift cabinet/counter top. Counter top was not finished/correct size for the cabinet it was sitting on. So looked a little "off". There was also a carpet patch right in front of the bathroom, which didn't look right & was hard not to stumble/trip on it, when using the bathroom. There were stains all over the carpet as well, so that looked unappealing. Bed was okay, but not very comfortable to me. It was rather hard in my opinion. I realize it's not a big chain motel/hotel, but just feel for price paid, the room should have been more finished & carpet could have been cleaner. I tried to attach photos, but for some reason the app won't let me attach any. ☹️ Google review has some though.

We loved our stay at this hidden gem. Tucked away but close to everything. The view outside our door was stunning. Host and Hostess were the most friendly folks! We had a very nice chat sitting around the fire. Well maintained property and the price can’t be beat! Going for second visit this weekend.

We stayed in room 9. It is very small and has no view of the river, which all other rooms do. Check in is easy, with a room and door code sent prior to check in. Parking is close. You can hear the road from the rooms. The grassy area and fire pit are nice and offer a great view of the river.

Loved the view of the Mississippi River from high on a bluff. Plenty of birds, greenery, and tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy it all.

Great boutique motel
Motel easy to find and ample parking. Was concerned initially that room did not face the river but even better I had a great grassy area outside my room for my dog. Staff was available for anything you needed. The property is well taken care of and room was extremely clean. Was excited to see that they had ice available. I didn’t participate in the bonfires every night, but it was great to be invited.

Stayed here 6 times now. Panoramic View is unbeatable. No Management or staff on site, never been a problem. Code for door. If U are a light sleeper beware busy train line right beneath the Motel,, It is on a bluff, train blows its horn all the way thru Guttenberg, There are lots of crossings without gates. I am light sleeper also. Just go back to sleep,

Heaven on earth
This place is truly a hidden gem I am an Iraq Combat Veteran who served in the Army with the 4th Infantry Division and 101st Airborne Division & all my PTSD went bye bye just being at this place. I didn’t want to leave. What a blessing it was to have found this little hidden spot. I highly recommend anyone & everyone come stay here awhile.

Great location
The motel is sparkling clean and situated on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. It is basic and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is right on the Great River Road and Guttenberg is quaint and worth an overnight visit. Great to get away from the larger cities and enjoy this delightful little burg.
