Clean rooms. Wonderful staff. Great location and area by lake is an added bonus. Beds were a bit hard for us and a few things a bit run down in our room but nothing glaringly bad. Would def stay here again. Eric is a great down to earth guy.

Peaceful get away
This is my go to hotel in the Dells. Owners are super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Pool area is always clean and comfortable. No big frills, but quiet and affordable. Everything you need or want to do in Wi Dell’s is less than 10 minutes away.

The motel has some great amenities and was well suited for our little family with play areas for the kids and a well kept pool. Unfortunately, I think we stayed in one of the rooms that has yet to be refinished and it was not in the best condition. The tub was cracked, drain wouldn't stay open, and small toilet. The overall room was clean, but the carpets left our feet visibly dirty when walking barefoot.
All that said, we would stay again.

Lakeside in the WisDells.
It’s an older motel and it’s kept up as best as you could do it. Lake side and although the steps are steep the paddle boats and kayaks are available for use. Fish and fowl are around. Saw a bald eagle fly over head and fish were jumping early in the morning. The swimming pool was clean kept up. Quiet and family friendly-close to all the hot spots without the intensity.
