Area Hotel Tips

We've included this section, because there are a ton of motel/hotel options to choose from when going to the Wisconsin Dells.  Almost every place has a swimming pool of some kind, while some have full-fledged water parks.  There are very fancy hotels and many budget motels.  There is an incredible number of options within 5-10 miles of each other in this small town where tourists probably outnumber the residents during the summer season.  Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton have over 90 hotels and motels, which means there is a pretty good chance you can get a room anytime, but it might not be the room you want.  Here are some general tips.

  • Decide what type of hotel or motel you want to stay at and make reservations ahead of time.  Some places are more popular than others, so it is best to decide where you may want to stay so you do not have to settle for something else.  
  • Visit our Area Information page for some excellent links on lodging options.
  • If you want a water park hotel, it is especially important to do your research.  Some have very small water parks, while others have very elaborate water parks. 
  • This shouldn't be a surprise, but the water park hotels are going to be much more expensive and will probably run over $100 a night.  We stopped in the Great Wolf Lodge and the Kalahari Resort, both of which were full for the night, and both were very impressive.    
  • Everything is going to be a little more expensive here during tourist season.  Even the Motel 6 was around $50-$60.  Some of the best deals are on the edge of town.  Look for small outdoor pools for cheaper places.  
  • There are numerous camping opportunities in the area if you are really cost conscious.
