Pros:

The spacious clean room with high ceilings was great; large tv; good variety of breakfast foods (hot and cold); quiet room; one of the best hotels in the north woods and Minocqua area.

Cons:

Small awkward bathroom was peculiar given the overall size of the room

The Water's is Outstanding Once Again
Pros:

We loved our stay! This is our 2nd year in a row. The rooms are so beautiful and clean, the staff is super friendly, there is a life guard on duty at the waterpark which is an added layer/peace of mind when swimming with our kiddo. This is one of th best hotels in WI that I've stayed at.

Very enjoyable.
Cons:

Had shower within the bath tub so with my mobility issue it was difficult getting out. In was ok with grab rails. Would have been easier with walk in shower & safer.

We had a very nice stay and would stay again at this hotel.
Pros:

Nice hotel and rooms.

Cons:

Hotel was getting new roof during our stay. We could not use balcony due to roof debris and it was a little noisy from roof work going on. Breakfast was the bare necessities, as in make your own waffle, mini donuts, and bagels. There was no free foods like eggs and bacon. No favored coffee creamers. I felt breakfast did not meet the standard of most hotels.

Ruined by unexpected roofing!
Pros:

The property was beautifully newly renovated. The rooms were lovely and well decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable. Had everything you needed. The hotel is in a great location. You are close to the downtown and there are many beautiful forests in the area. The hotel has a waterpark as well. However, we did not partake.

Cons:

Well, without warning, halfway through our stay, a band of roofers moved in with all of their equipment and trucks and started to remove and replace the roof. It was extremely noisy. There was debris all over the parking lot and balcony. They started at sunrise and went until sundown. Although we managed to stay through the first day and night, we couldn't tolerate the noise any longer. We were refunded for our last night. Should have been comped for inconvenience. Some staff did not seem to care. Breakfast very limited. Need to consider other products than styrofoam.
