Cleanliness
7.4
Many guests noted generally clean rooms, but several reports of mold in showers, black gunk in corners, a bug sighting, and a damp/wet-towel smell lowered confidence in consistent housekeeping.

Multiple mentions of helpful, friendly and professional staff; service-related comments are uniformly positive aside from isolated operational issues (e.g., elevator/icemaker outages).
Location
9.2
Repeatedly described as a perfect/convenient location for the downtown Dells and activities; location is a strong positive across reviews.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are often described as comfortable, spacious with good shower pressure, but issues include stuffy rooms, worn sofa beds, poor pillows and occasionally small bathrooms.
Amenities
9
Pools (indoor and outdoor), hot tub and parking are frequently praised and considered a highlight, though some noted maintenance issues (rusted lift chairs, paint chips) and occasional cold pool.
Value for Money
8
Several guests mentioned good pricing and deals and felt the price was fair; a few negatives (being charged for cleaning, needed updates) tempered the score slightly.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast is repeatedly praised as good to exceptional by many guests, but there are some complaints about the assortment/quality in a few reviews.
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall stays were positive for families and road-trippers (great pools, breakfast, location), but noise, intermittent cleanliness and some maintenance issues produced mixed experiences for some guests.

Decent but your average hotel
Pros:

They have an amazing breakfast setup. The staff was helpful and friendly. The indoor pool area was great for the kids.

Cons:

In our room, it was very stuffy when we first got here. The curtain for our only window was off the track, and we could not raise it the whole stay. So we stayed in the dark. They had some people coming in at 11 p.m., and they were so loud. They were allowing them to run up and down the halls yelling. I woke up a couple of times by this. The bathroom had black gunk in the corners. Like they mop, but they don't get the crevices. I'm a clean freak so it bothered me.

Disappointed
Pros:

It was a great location!

Cons:

The sofa bed in our room was showing its age, the foam for the cushions was so worn there was a huge indentation on both cushions. I would not have wanted to sleep on the sofa with the cushions being so worn.
There was mold in the shower stall, in my
opinion is not a clean shower.
The mattress was great but the pillows a were awful!
There were lots of deals on hotels rooms in this tourist town, I chose Holidayy Inn express over the resorts
