More Like a Motel than a Hotel

Not good or bad; it's a pretty average hotel bordering on motel in terms of condition. There are some updates needed like removing the asbestos popcorn ceiling, enlarging the bathroom so there is room to put a sink in the actual bathroom, and a TV service that actually shows you what is on the channels. The shower pressure needs to be greatly improved, and the shower head should be adjustable. The shower seems to be built for someone who is 8' tall. The room's mini fridge and microwave should be better maintained and/or replaced with newer models. The pool/whirlpool/sauna room is odd - it's very dark inside like a dimly lit lodge, which gave it a creepy vibe. There is only one elevator to accommodate 5 floors, so that wait can be long depending on the time of day. The wristlet with room key must be worn at all times while on the property and is uncomfortable and must be cut off for removal. There seemed to be so many rules on what to do/what not to do; it was overwhelming. For the price and comfort, I'd likely stay elsewhere when visiting the Dells again.

Wisconsin Dells getaway

Relaxing getaway in The Dells. The unit was comfortable but could use some upgrades. We had a beautiful view of the Wisconsin River but it was spoiled by all the cobwebs and bugs on the picture window. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was very clean. Staff was friendly. Bathroom was tiny, though. And walls were thin so we could clearly hear our neighbors chatting early in the morning. Check in had too many steps. They needed me to show that I had signed their waiver to use water attractions etc. This step should be automated in their system somehow so I’m not digging through my emails holding up the line to prove it was done. That’s my biggest recommendation. One minor complaint and not a big deal in the large scheme of things but I had to choose between $2 off a drink or 10% off our family meal within the hotel restaurant. Didn’t realize at the time. A waitress with excellent customer service would have informed me of it and suggested the latter. I was mildly annoyed at the end of the meal to be told too bad. I hope that waitress also learned something about anticipating and informing clients.

In the positive column, the view was amazing and the fridge worked. In the negative column, the room was run down and smelled funny. It needed a good paint job. The sink was stained. The mattresses way too soft. There was no plug for the tub, so you couldn't take a bath. The carpet looked ancient and not very clean. There is no way I would recommend the place and I will not be going back.
