Our stay was great! We felt like long lost friends from the moment we pulled in the driveway. Andy & Joyce are so nice & invited us to sit outside with them & visit. The homey atmosphere was just what we were looking for. We were going to Galena & didn't want to pay the high prices in town. The... More

It may see unbelievable, but all those fantastic reviews of this motel are right on the money. While it is "on the beaten path" to Galena, it would be easy to miss. If you're going to Galena and are just a little put off by the prices of the rooms in town, try The View. You'll be glad you did,... More

The View Motel was a wonderful experience. I stayed at The View this weekend when it was cold and rainy outside. After being downtown all day and at my son's campsite until dark, I was a little nervous to go to a Motel by myself, but I had met the owners earlier and they made me feel safe knowing they... More

This was our second stay at The View while visiting the beautiful Galena area. Andy and Joyce are the nicest people you can stay with in the area! Service and hospitality are the best! Thanks to you both for a wonderful weekend away! We can't say enough to our friends and family about what a lovely time we've had when... More

My wife and I stayed here on our little vacation and we both agree that it was just a fabulous time. Great prices and and great service. We are planning on making it an every year trip now. Thank you both for all you did for us, cant wait to see you in the Fall. More

To all of those who wish to visit historic Galena, this little "gem" is a "must stay"! You will come here a stranger, but leave as a friend, thanks to gracious hosts/owners Andy and Joyce. It is very difficult for me to top all of the superior reviews of the View Motel, as everything I read on TripAdvisor beforehand turned... More

I cannot write a review that would do justice to our stay at the view. My boyfriend and I stayed there for 1 night this weekend and had a wonderful stay. Andy and Joyce are the 2 nicest people you will ever meet. All the hotels were booked in the area and we stopped there hoping to get a room... More

Just got back from two nights at The View Motel. Upon arriving we were greeted by Andy and Joyce who treated us like old friends. The rooms were clean and the price was right. They treated my whole group like family and even gave us a free bottle of wine to help us celebrate. We look forward to staying there... More

The View Motel is an excellent place to stay. It is not too expensive -- the service is superb -- in fact the owners pride themselves on the service and they are on-site in case you need anything -- our room was really clean -- there's a refrigerator and microwave available for the guests -- it was too cold for...
