The Best Cheap Hotels to Book in Wisconsin Dells

Pet-friendly, with an indoor pool, kids’ pool, BBQ facilities and RV parking space, AmericInn is ideal for road tripping families stopping at Wisconsin Dells. Less than a mile’s walk from the river and the southern end of the Dells of the Wisconsin River State Natural Area, it’s a great base to see the sights. Decked out in homely timber and stone, with burgundy and cream decor in the rooms, it’s also friendly and relaxing. Extras include balconies, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs.

One of our more upscale choices, this hotel offers generously-sized guest rooms, suites and a range of accessible accommodations, all decked out in neutral shades and with the amenities you’ve come to expect from Hilton. The indoor pool, surrounded by brick pillars and picture windows, is a highlight, as is the state-of-the-art fitness center. All rooms come with black-out curtains, high-quality beds, Keurig coffee-makers and non-allergenic down pillows. Extras available in some suites include fireplaces and balconies, and while there’s no on-site dining, the locally-acclaimed Del-Bar steakhouse is a 2-minute walk away.

Closer to Lake Delton and Mirror Lake Pine Oak Forest State Natural Area than the Wisconsin River, the Staybridge is a fine choice. You’re never too far from the Dells or the waterparks, and there’s plenty to recommend this well-priced IHG hotel. All rooms are suites, including fully equipped kitchens, and there’s a real sense of welcome, demonstrated on Monday to Wednesday evenings through ‘the Social”, where you can meet fellow guests. Seven of the 122 suites are accessible.

Waterparks, trampoline parks and other kid-friendly diversions are the nearest attractions to this sprawling, three-story, gable-roofed hotel. The active focus of Wisconsin Dells is appreciated here, with two pools, both equipped with waterslides, and a fitness center. Each room contains a microwave, while the grander suites have room for deep sofa beds and plenty of niches to stretch out. Those with accessibility needs haven’t been forgotten: specially appointed rooms feature accessible tubs, handrails and easy access for those in wheelchairs.

A classy, inexpensive Marriott hotel east of Lake Delton and a 5-minute drive from Delton public beach, Fairfield Inn offers a broad range of guest rooms and suites. The decor is vibrantly modern, with electric-blue patterned carpets in the rooms and a broad range of bold colours in the common areas. There’s a small but lovely indoor pool, a gym, and in the rooms, mini-fridges and microwaves. Upgrade to a double-queen suite and the family can enjoy separate living areas and a comfortable sofa bed.

This pet-friendly option just south of Lake Delton is within easy reach of the Wild West Waterpark and Wild Rock Golf Club. Conceivably, the kids could be having a ball on the waterslides while you sneak in a couple of rounds on a fine day. Expect the standard amenities – a fitness center, indoor pool and generous complimentary breakfast buffet – but look further, and you’ll see Wyndham has taken a few design risks with its cube-esque profile and vividly-patterned rugs in the rooms.

Springhill Suites are a swirl of clashing colors and contemporary design within, but they’re not all style and no substance. Rooms deploy luxurious touches like marble bathrooms, and partitioned living spaces for privacy. For the active, there’s a fitness center equipped with the latest machines, an indoor pool surrounded by reclining chairs, and proximity to several waterparks. A complimentary hot buffet breakfast seals the deal, and you’re less than 10 minutes’ stroll from the Moosejaw Pizza & Dells Brewing Co., among other dining options.

Behind an imposing, porticoed facade lies a hotel of great value and generous hospitality. South of Lake Delton, it has a great choice of theme- and adventure-parks a short drive away. All rooms and suites include the signature Hampton Bed, made by Serta, while ergonomic desk chairs and bathroom nightlights are examples of the little touches that make your stay just that bit more comfortable. Kids will love the water jets in the indoor pool, while the gym allows you to keep in shape.
