A very big Thanks to Andy and Joyce for making our Anniversary so special. You couldn't find 2 better hosts to help you enjoy your getaway or special occasion. I like the fact that they put aside trying to squeeze every dollar they can by dedicating one of their few rooms as a community area with a microwave, a large... More

Had a very nice time at "The View". Andy and Joyce were very welcoming. They contacted our group "leader" and told us to tell them what we would be drinking that evening. Sure enough, we pulled in, and after a quick review from Andy, a speedy check-in, our drinks were waiting in a cooler on ice, just like we had... More

Owners were extremely helpful, warm and hospitable during our stay. There are no negatives about this place. The hotel makes for a great country getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The view all around the hotel was beautiful and the location was great.

I stay at the view two nights. The room was very clean and nice. While not fancy everything right down to the trim and soft towels were very well done. On the day I was leaving the owners even shared their coffee right out of there own coffee pot to save me some time. The View hotel is very friendly... More

We would definitely recommend The View for anyone that wants to stay at a clean motel... More

The owners were very friendly, and we enjoyed our stay there immensely. The only con was no already made coffee available during our stay.(but we were the only ones staying there at... More

The owners are very friendly and helpful. The stay was pleasant and comfortable. The room was quite clean and nicely updated. The location is convenient; close to state parks as well as Galena, and easy to find, right on Highway 20. A good value for the area and a great experience.

The View Motel not only offers great hosts like Andy and Joyce but it also offers a great central location to many local favorite destinations in the region. If you venture to Galena, Savanna, or some of the great state parks in the area, upon return in the eveningto the View Motel, you are greeted with a roaring fire where... More

Andy and Joyce really make this place special. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The shower was awesome. We pulled in and they knew who we were. We had a glass of wine out in the patio area, listened to some music, and got to know each other. We got a tour of their beautiful garden (with tips on... More
