Holiday Inn Express Wisconsin Dells

We stayed here with a group of kids for a hockey tournament. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. I appreciated the hotel’s willingness to accommodate our group, and that they were upfront with us about their expectations for our kids (quiet hours, no rough play in halls, etc).
The rooms were definitely on the smaller side (bathroom was TINY).
I would stay there again, and with a sports team I definitely would choose this hotel.

Let me start by saying I love IHG/​holiday inn brand hotels. I have been traveling for 10 years now and each year I’m on the road at least 80%. It’s the only place I will stay. I’m one of the spire members which is their top earning points status. Once you get 75,000 points you become spire. I made more then 10x that much last year alone. I live in this brand of hotel. This is my second time at this holiday and I’m not sure I would come back. It needs to be updated in a bad way. The bathrooms need updating. They are small and the sink is in the bed room area. The TV’s are slow and shut down because of their cable system. I have gnats in my room. Every time I turn on the sink they start flying around. The A/​C heater doesn’t really work. I’m here in November so there has been a few nights that I needed the heater. I turn it up to 68 and it come on. Once it comes hits 68 it turns off but it will not come back on again. Temp in rooms drops to 60 and I got to turn it up to 73 to get it to come back on again. I now have it set on 80 and it’s still not on. The breakfast is cold and the food is dry. Every IHG I have ever stayed at starts putting the breakfast out 30 minutes to an hour before the time they say breakfast starts. This hotel brings it out 10 minutes before. And if they catch you in the breakfast room trying to get a plate they will stop you and say it’s not time yet. This doesn’t work for me when I got to be up at 4am and there isn’t food or coffee out.
Washer and dryer are one of the better ones at this hotel. And the front desk staff is great. They are very helpful. I did not use the pool area but it looks like fun.

We stayed here with our family of 5 (mom/​dad/​9 yr old/​2 yr old/​6 months) and really enjoyed it. The pools — 2 indoor and 2 outdoor kept the kids plenty busy when we wanted a relaxing day away from the hussle and bussle of the water park Meccas, but they still have several slides to keep the kiddos amused. The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean. I stay at a lot of IHG hotels with work and this one was in line with what you would expect of a HDI express. The only downside for me was the «workout room» which only has Cardio equipment and no weights or weight machines.

Loved this area the air was fresh and the room was clean the young man that checked us in was so nice and understanding to our needs on our cross country military move that he made this stay very comfortable the downfall was there was no pet store nearby and the vending machines had popcorn that cost $ 150 a pack and must have been super old bc the popcorn didn’t completely pop and there was an animal that was in the field next to the Hotel That scared the poop outta me but if u are not afraid of things like that you have no worries but I would recommend this establishment to any family that travels with pets

They gave us 2 bottles of cold water! I used one of the bottles, for my last rinse after I washed my hair!
So far: Our shower is good, bathroom too small, the sink is outside of that room, next to the tiny closet, next to the small fridge/​microwave and next to that is our full-​length mirror! Our room is dark. As I type for Unilocal,I’m sitting on a soft chair, as my desk chair, yes there is a desk, in the corner of the room! When you park, you enter door 2, however, door 2 is actually on the 1^st floor, so when you go back to your car, remember to press floor 1 on the elevator, not floor 2. Back to the sink, when someone is sleeping, the running water and lack of door for privacy, disturbs your roommate!
As I sit here, talking with my husband, who was sitting on another soft chair by the window, I noticed the bed skirt was done so tacky! My almost 7 years old grand daughter can do her bed, nicer than that! The housekeeper might think, ‘no one’s gonna see this, the heck with it, I’m moving on to the next room!’, but if someone is sitting by the window, YES they will see how tacky the bed on that side by the window looks! What she doesn’t know, is the worst Unilocal criticizer will be spending the night in this room!

Stayed here for a weekend snowboarding trip and was not disappointed. The service was great, and the management was awesome. Nice pool for a Holiday Inn, and you can’t beat the price for a room in the Dells. The free breakfast was more than we expected, and it was offered until 10, so we got a chance to sleep in!

Currently staying here as our family needed to get out of the house as the Wisconsin weather has had us cooped up! We really weren’t up for busy waterpark stress so we chose this place. Not the most fancy place, but the pool area was nice, had a slide and we enjoyed ourselves. The lobby area looks updated. The rooms are a little dated but not too bad. The bathrooms really need some work. A little pricey for «off season» Anyhow — probably wouldn’t stay again but it was a overall good experience.

Not bad for the price, traveling with the wife and two kids, I didn’t want to pay the Kalahari room price so we stayed here. The room was nice, bed soft clean. The bath room could use some up grading. Flat screen tv, coffee make, microwave and fridge. Also the continental breakfast wasn’t to bad either. It’s a nice stay if you don’t want to pay water park price.

Looks shiny and new from the outside, the lobby is new and the pool area looks very nice. Unfortunately, the rooms are not as nice. They are outdated a bit and need some freshening up. It seemed clean enough and for a cheap night in the Dells, it’s not so bad. For a Saturday night stay we paid $ 120 a night. Not great, not horrible.

Not the nicest and most modern Holiday Inn I’ve stayed at but it’s nice. The front desk staff is friendly, breakfast buffet until 10am is amazing for the people getting up to hit the slopes, and rooms are clean and spacious. The beds are super comfortable and the pillows are perfect. Usually Holiday Inns have shitty pillows but these are nice. Gym is a little weak, 3 machines in a room. A treadmill, a bike, and an elliptical. Pool has a few slides, a castle, and a hot tub. Towels are tough and small though, boo. Overall, a good stay.

The staff here is extremely friendly. We arrived much earlier than expected and front desk allowed us to use the pool until our room was ready.
We stayed in a 3^rd floor Executive King room which was nice as there was no over head noise. The room was clean and also had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
All in all it was a very pleasant stay.

We had a really nice stay here last week. Great service, nice breakfast, and quiet location. The lady who ran the breakfast was incredibly patient and professional. The room was clean and in good shape.
I didn’t swim there but my family did swim in the indoor pool. Other than being crowded it was standard. It really isn’t a waterpark per se… sorry, a slide doesn’t make it a park. Otherwise it was fine.

Awful
Kids got ringworm from the pool area, and looking back the rash they got after the Irish night was bed bugs. Complained when we realized what the rashes were and the manager referred me to fill out a claim report? What ever happened to we will look into this issue and we would love a second chance to show you what we can do… so here is a night on the house. What did I get? I got a denial that the kids for have gotten rashes at their place (and there is doubt they did) and a referral to submit a claim, as in a legal claim. Crazy! Try someplace else

Not sure where the other reviewers normally stay but their standards appear very high. I’m a platinum club member and stay in Holiday Inn’s (Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza, HIE, Holiday Inn, etc) monthly. This was on par with all others. Very decent (FREE) breakfast and not just crappy fruit but eggs, sausage, biscuits/​gravy, pancakes, etc. The indoor pool was HUGE with a slide and large hot tub. There was a huge kiddie pool in the same area. Perfect for families on Spring Break. The rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers. Large LCD TV with 5 or so HBO channels.
We checked out of Mt Olympus because it was a DUMP and very much liked the HIE. Consistent with all others I’ve stayed in.

Spent one night here before our all inclusive package at one of the big resorts. The hotel was adequate. Breakfast and rooms similar to other Holiday Inn Expresses. Service was slightly worse than other Holiday Inn Expresses. The indoor «waterpark» was a wading pool, a regular pool with one slide, and a hot tub. The biggest issue (which is not the hotel’s fault) were the large groups of children running around unsupervised (while parents drank and played cards). There was a lifeguard present, but he seemed to do very little to stop the children from running down the waterslide and playing in the water at the bottom (even after a child got a bloody nose from being kicked by someone going down the slide). Definitely more geared towards families and not couples.

When I went, I thought I was so unlucky to be here. Murky pool that I was scared to go in. breakfast was a joke. Service was bad. Tiny bathroom. However, when I left I went on Unilocal and it turns out I was lucky compared to other visitors here… BED BUGS??? gross.

It’s so-​so. The HVAC equipment needs updating in the rooms as my room was really damp.

Before coming to this hotel we had stayed at Holiday Inns for the previous 3 nights. This was by far the worst of all the places we visited.
First, the layout of the room (2-​queen suite) is ridiculous. There is a large wall/​room divider between the beds and the sofa, which doesn’t allow you to watch TV or visit with others while sitting. The bathroom is also very small.
Second, we stayed here for 2 nights and if it weren’t for the garbage taken out we wouldn’t have even noticed that housekeeping came. It was pathetic! We were only given 3 towels for a 2-​queen suite!
Third, the breakfast is very sad. Not only is the food barely edible, it is located in a little side room off the large breakfast area. So, 40 people trying to get into a 8×8 room is not going to be very efficient. The second day we didn’t even bother and went to Cracker Barrel instead.
The indoor pool looked very large and had a slide, but we went to Kalahari instead.
When I come back to Wisconsin Dells I’ll be staying elsewhere.
… the map seems to be either out of date or incorrect. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express located off I-​90/​94.

This hotel was definetly not a very great stay for me and my family and friends. The rooms were very small and did not look like anything like they did on the internet. Also, the game room was small as well as the pool. If your planning on going to the dells, stay at a resort or somewhere that looks as nice on the internet as it looks in person.
