Very nice place but it was during spring break from schools so there was a lot of young children running around everywhere so it was not very quiet.

Glad to be there off season

Stayed here because of the water “park” - really was just multiple pools with two slides that one could use. We got there and slides closed early, so we couldn’t use them. There were 3-4 pools to use - one was for water volleyball, one for littles and the other was 31/2 ish ft deep. Lots of tables in the pool area. There is a game room across from the pool where you load up a game card to play a variety of games for tickets - skeeball, baskets, Halo, strong man, driving & shooting games - that kept little busy. Hotel was getting a facelift - areas were roped off for work. Which I don’t mind, means the hotel cares. Not sure if I would want to be here in the summer when tourism is in full swing. Didn’t use coffee shop, breakfast or restaurant.

Downstairs neighbors called noise complaints 2 nights in a a row when we walked around after 10. We had 3 young children. There was no party or drinking. We could hear the people above us but never complained. This is not the staff's fault but I will definitely ask for lower level in the future.

Check-In Issue

I reserved two rooms with the option to pay at counter. The staff was not able to change payments during check in. I travel for work alot and have never had this issue before. I don't know why this was such an issue. Hotel was fine for being under construction at the time of stay.

Check in with payment

At Check-in was told that I could not change the method of payment. I did not pre-pay for the room when booking through Hotels.com. I needed two rooms but hotel staff couldn't change the payment on the second room. I travel for work and have never ran into this before. Rooms are fine but not sure why this was too difficult to resolve splitting room costs

The hotel was "fine" but staff was rude

The front desk staff, which were the only people we interacted with were not just unfriendly, but one was full on rude. We were in town for a funeral - we weren't greeted with a hello or a smile or anything, it was "Name?". Later we were going to go out for dinner. My friend went down before me. She forgot her charger. So I went down to meet her, I didn't see her right away. So I decided to ask if they sold chargers. The lady said without looking up - you already asked me that. I said, no I didn't. I saw my friend in the shop behind the desk and added that must have been my friend who asked - different person. She said "No we don't." It was so flat, and curt. I asked if she knew where we could get one in town. She said that Dollar General was on 51 South and Walmart was 51 North. I didn't trust Dollar General would sell chargers so we went North. As we drove North, we passed the Dollar General. We had to question if she gave us bad information on purpose. We passed a Walgreens and stopped there and got what we needed. But even when we checked out. There was no kindness of any fashion. We were surprised. The family we were going to honor speaks so highly of Minocqua. As far as the facility, it was clean. We were near the maintenance room. We heard noises all through the night. The walls are pretty thin. I don't know. Our room was $200. On our drive out of town, my friend pointed out all the other places we should have stayed at instead.
