Hotels near Old Abe's Old Time Portraits, Wisconsin Dells

This Place Is So Kid Friendly And My Children Have Fun Every Summer Here 🫶🏻

We had a room on the first floor with 2 beds and a sofa. The person who slept on the sofa said it was the most comfortable sofa in a hotel that he's slept on and he's stayed a few in the last couple of years. The beds were too firm for me so I did not sleep well. Shower water pressure was decent, which is something that is important to me. The room was a good size for 4 people. The bathroom was quite large. The closet was huge, you could easily stand in there and get changed. You could see that the room had some use, as there were dings in the walls here and there. We did hear a bit of noise from the people above us. At the time I appreciated being checked in early, but if I had to do it over, I would have requested the top floor or at least a higher floor and waited for a later check-in if necessary so we didn't have the sound of people above us. We did not use the pool, but there were plenty of people using it and it seemed adequate. The fitness room was nice, they had 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals and free weights and there was plenty of room to stretch. It was walking distance to a Subway, which worked out for a quick dinner for the kids after a long waterpark day. The breakfast was decent. It is always nice to have the option of eggs and breakfast meats, and cook your own waffles. It was very busy in the mornings though, so plan on needed extra time if you want a waffle for sure. I would have liked to see more options for the breads and muffins; there was only 1 type of bread and 1 type of muffin. I did enjoy seeing the scones as a choice, but would have liked another type other than chocolate chip, but that's just my preference. Overall, I would probably try somewhere else next time due to the hard mattress issue, but if you like a firm mattress this might be the place for you.

All aspects are better than the average car hotel. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large. Coffee water ice cube microwave oven is provided in the hall.

This hotel is brand new and very pleasant. The pool and gym were nice. I REALLY appreciated the breakfast because it was gluten free and catered to me. I enjoyed the egg white fritatas and chicken sausage. There were also other options such as pancakes, yogurt, fruit and oatmeal. The room was lovely. Not a big deal but the shampoo was empty. Since I just stayed one night, I used my own but I have this issue with Hilton hotels where the amenities are not refilled. We would definitely stay here again.

We just spent the weekend at this hotel and I'm shocked that Choice Hotels even has their brand on it. Our room was beyond repair in some areas --- banged up furniture, disgusting grout in the bathroom, bathroom wallpaper that has to be over 20 years old all peeling off, a toilet that was just barely hanging on. The tv in the room is one of the tiniest things I've seen and most of the regular channels didn't even work. The beds were comfortable. Lighting in the room was minimal and our desk lamp had two burned out bulbs. We called about them, but they never showed up to fix. The room was clean if you didn't look at the corners or beyond surface areas. The outdoor pool area is great for little kids. Easy to see them, great seating areas with plenty of space and on a busy weekend it was half full at the most. Had the service in this hotel been better, I would have seen past their dingy and old rooms, but only one person we encountered even cracked a smile. Everyone else was emotionless, didn't make eye contact or stared right past. It was the strangest thing. They are charging Wisconsin Dells resort prices and not providing even a quarter of the service.

We stayed overnight during our recent trip to WisDells. This is our second time staying at this property. The first time was the same time in 2023( Labor Day weekend). The hotel was only 4 days old that time and the property was not even listed on TripAdvisor. Highlights: -Nice choice if you are visiting Dells. I know the hotel is 15mins.drive from Dells and other attractions(waterparks etc.) but still a great choice if you want a quiet location. -New property(peaceful, fresh air, country vibe). -Walking distance to many fast food restaurants and even a Walmart. -Rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. -Small pool and is perfect for kids. -Free car parking. -Front desk staff were very friendly. Thanks to Devon at the front desk for taking care of our requests at the time of check-in. If you like running/walking outdoors, there are long stretches of sidewalks on South Blvd. going toward Baraboo downtown. You will pass through the National Army Guard tanker, art work, some historical buildings etc. Giving 4Stars only because of the breakfast experience. They seem to run out of basic supplies such as milk, yogurt etc. and are not prepared for managing the crowd spikes properly. The hotel should be prepared and ready when they are anticipating to get sold out. Some of the guests waited a long time for coffee that never came and they simply left. We had experienced the same issue last year as well and I recall having detailed conversations with Sharon, Duty Manager. Breakfast options can also be improved(based on our experiences with other Fairfield properties). Luggage carts will be a great addition in the front desk area for your guests to use. Overall comfortable stay(except for the breakfast experience). We will certainly return next time we are in WisDells. Thanks Fairfield team!
