Andy and Joyce are so nice and helpful! We had a group of 6 and The View was perfect for us. We were able to gather outside by the fire in the evening and enjoy each others company. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The landscaping and views are fantastic. Our family will definitely stay at The View the... More

My husband and I just took a motorcycle ride to the Galena area for two days and spent our night at the View Motel, between Elizabeth and Galena. Manicured to perfectionist and lovely owners, Andy and Joyce! Room was large and very comfortable, just to mention how clean everything was! We will be back for another stay and hopefully for...

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.

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
