The Ridge Hotel Portage

Very loud all night long. Walls and ceiling very thin could hear things all around.

Pictures are deceiving. No hot water, no dead bolt lock, older hotel. However the food was good in the bar.

The hotel was clean and the front desk staff friendly. The air conditioner in our room was tempremental and we froze a little bit.

Decades ago this may have been the best hotel in the area. They had a good pool area, arcade, and still have a nice gym. Dino's restaurant is attached to the hotel which is a nice feature. Currently, this hotel is old, dirty and outdated. It is affordable and the housekeeping staff did do a good job. Ammenities like the hot tub are out of order. The ripped up carpeting made me hesitant to travel anywhere but the room to the exit. The parking lot is so bad, I worried about getting a flat tire driving in and out. On a positive note, I stayed here for three nights and you could tell they are agressively remodeling. They have alot of work to do but have to the potential to become a decent hotel once again.

Didn't like the hot tub Didn't work

Great ac n comfortable beds.

It is being renovated so there were carpet installing tools on the stairs and rolls of carpet in a couple spots. The hot tub was empty and the water in the pool was cloudy so we could not enjoy these amenities. The room was tidy but the mirror was spattered. The clerk at the desk was having to check people in and try to get a hold of the maintenance person. She did not have a number for him and had to go get a chair for a guest herself. She tried to contact the manager and could not get a hold of him either. I think when the renovations are complete it will be a nice place to stay. The clerk was very friendly even under trying circumstances.

Obviously under remodeling - very messy. No air conditioning in common areas/hallways - very hot. No chair in room. Light over sink worked intermittently. Ice machine not turned on or even plugged in. Vending machine not working. You would be better off staying at the Super 8.

The hotel is doing renovations so the inside is a bit disheveled but, I think it will look great once its done. Our room was beautiful, large, and clean! It's a great place to stay if you want to go to The Dells and not spend a fortune on a hotel. Its just a 20 min drive to The Dells strip and all shopping outlets.There's a Walmart and Goodwill right behind the hotel and a restaurant inside. We did not eat in the restaurant but was told by locals that they have very good food with decent prices.

Hotel currently being upgraded, I needed a place to sleep without breaking the bank. The Lodge fulfilled this void.
