Advertised hot tub which is why we went. Got a message at 3:15 the day of check in that hot tub was no longer there. Room had exposed electrical and no smoke alarm. Remote did not work the best.

The pool area needs attention. The water is cold, and there is a lot of loose debris on the floor of the pool—I am assuming from the construction. I was also sad to see photos of a hot tub online but to get here and see that it has been taken out

The cleaning crew and the breakfast lady were TOP NOTCH. All staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean. The will clean daily unless you have DND. Breakfast was always hot and full. Also some cereal options. Downside was the hot tub wasn't working and pool room was very chilly. The sauna was nice.

The property and rooms were quite dated and were in need of repair. The hot tub was broken with no estimate when it would be fixed. The television in my room wasn't working correctly. Maid service did not occur for the four nights I stayed. Carpet in the hallways were stained and dirty. I will not be staying there again!

Rooms were nice and clean, well kept. However, both hot tub and sauna not working at the same time, and pool room was frigid. Not what I wanted after a day of skiing.

Pool and hot tub need updating. There were only 2 working jets in the hot tub, which were located on the steps. The other holes had no jets to them.

Filthy bathroom. Shower head was caked with black mold, and there was black mold all around the drain opening and side of the tub. Housekeeping staff cursing loudly in the hallway early in the morning. Hotel is generally shabby and not particularly well maintained.

Was very disappointed in the room. I used to stay here a while back and it was great now its horrible. Bed was very uncomfortable, hole in the ceiling above the couch, walls had crackers and paint missing. The floors look like they have never been cleaned properly. It was just bad.

We asked for a different room, and she denied that there were any other available rooms. She was not very helpful. Otherwise the place was clean, quiet, comfortable bed, & the free breakfast was great. Just need more knowledgeable clerk working the night shift.

We really enjoyed the king suite with our toddler. It’s great to have the extra space when they were asleep. There was only an extra blanket for the pull out sofa and no pillows. When I asked about getting pillows only 1 was found/available. Otherwise a great stay!

The receptionist who "welcomed" us had a brash personality and lacked hospitality skills. All other staff, including the housekeepers, were polite, courteous, and helpful. There was a hot breakfast every day with regular options of eggs, sausage, pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, pastries, toast, yogurt, and fresh fruit. The hotel was clean and well up kept. The pool area was very nice and included a hot tub, sauna, shower, and rest rooms. Our bed was a pillow top and very comfortable. We stayed in a suite that featured a jacuzzi. The jacuzzi had a broken knob but functioned well. The location was about a 30 minute drive from the Dells - a bit further than we'd prefer but away from the hustle and bustle. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would stay at this hotel again.
