The property has a great location and the hot tub, and pool area are nice to enjoy. The continental breakfast was good, but we wish the bar & grill would have been open also. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. The spiders & bugs on our private patio were awful so we didn't sit outside. The staff were friendly and the rooms are awesome.

This place is probably good for families. Our room setup was weird. The separate room for the shower and toilet was small. My personal preference is to have a sink in with the toilet. This setup did not. We didn't really use the amenities. The breakfast bar was minimal, but they clearly told us it was a Continental Breakfast.

Overall the property is great for families because it has the water park. The outdoor pools need urgent maintenance with concrete areas around the pool with large cracks and chunks of concrete missing. Rooms are spacious and updated recently. Has that Northwoods decor which we were looking for.

Book early for the summer, as they get sold out! Rightly so, as the rooms are clean, recently remodeled, and the water park is fantastic for the kids to run out their energy and adults to relax poolside or in the indoor-outdoor hot tub! The staff is so kind and helpful, they make it easy to relax. The continental breakfast is good - there's a waffle maker, so that's a step-up from most other hotels, and lots of other options, including boiled eggs and yogurt for protein options. Highly recommend staying here!

We had a nice stay at the Waters of Micoqua. Hotel staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The person who checked us in even gave us a few different room options to choose from (different floors, different distances from the pool area, etc).

As we were traveling with kids, we made use of the pool area, which consists of a shallow pool for young kids, a deeper pool for older kids/adults, and a hot tub. Both the hot tub and the deeper pool had indoor and outdoor sections, which was fun. Also, the pool depth was never so deep that I had to worry about my kids who aren't strong swimmers. There was also a lifeguard on duty. We did not make use of the two water slides (kids were too scared to try them), but we managed to have fun for about 3 hours.

Our room was clean; nothing to complain about with that. The only thing that really made our stay \"good\" instead of \"great\" was the hotel breakfast, which was pretty lackluster: cereal, toast, bagels, muffins, waffles. It was disappointing after an otherwise very nice stay. Would still probably stay again if we're in the area.

Clean & updated rooms. We were close to the arcade & water park in room 103. It offered us the convenience we were wanting. I expected some noise because of our location but between 10pm - 8am it was very quiet. The staff was so friendly & helpful! With ease we extended our stay! This is a very family friendly place that also offers fun & relaxation for adults too! The onsite pub & grill had really affordable & delicious food & drinks! The breakfast was decent offering hard boiled eggs, mini chocolate donuts, make your own waffles, cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, and coffee. There is also a shop with a few food items to purchase. Starbucks coffee is offered in the shop too! The water park & arcade were the favorite spots! My 11 and 13 year old kids were happy with all they had to do. We didn’t leave the property at all during our 3 night stay.

We have come for several years. Impressed with the new updates unfortunately they seem to be short on staff. Getting rooms cleaned, new towels, etc... seemed to be an issue and waterslides were closed a couple occasions. Our A/C unit was working but fan wouldn't turn off. made the whole room and beds seem humid/moist. Tried to change setting but then wouldn't turn on. Settled for cold and wet then hot and humid. Front desk people are very friendly and accommodating but just seems to be a serious staffing issue right now. Will definitely return for now.

My daughter accidently left some items in her room, such as diapers and clothes for her little one. She also left her drivers license (2 year old pulled all cards). Called multiple times; my brother asked at the front desk twice and they claim they found nothing so either they do a terrible job of cleaning, they are lazy, or they needed the diapers. would have given them a better review but customer service goes beyond you checking out when you leave items behind.

The only complaint I have is the bathroom in the room, the door was really close to the tub, had to squeeze in around it. I would definitely love to go back in the future, well worth the price!!!

Roxanne at the front desk was top notch and great to work with, Chrissy was also a pleasure as well as very accommodating. With very short notice our company needed a private conference room for training and she wasted no time getting us in one offered any assistance for connecting to the monitor in the room and anything else we may need, she was great.

We had a very enjoyable stay overall. The front desk staff were phenomenal, friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and generally well-maintained.

The water park facilities were lovely and provided a lot of fun for our family, although they are definitely showing some wear in places. For example, the foam insulation on the outside of the waterslide looked quite shabby and detracted a bit from the overall appearance. We also found a couple of ants in our room during our stay.

None of these issues significantly impacted our experience, and we would still happily stay here again. However, addressing some of these maintenance items could make an already good property even better for future guests.

The property has been completely renovated (minus the pool area) since we were last there about 3 years ago, and it’s gorgeous! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The Pub cooked up some wonderful pizza and cheese curds. The arcade room was fun, clean and in working order. The tiny tot area of the pool and the hot tub was nice but still no operating snack bar and the pools (and slide) are definitely in need of a facelift and improved filtration system; we saw quite a bit of debris. Front desk said a remodel is in the works for the pool area, which is awesome! The breakfast area provided so many options which was great!

Waterslides were not open. The back patio area we could not use, chairs and isle set up right outside next to our patio because of a wedding. Never thought this would happen on a Thursday. 4 grand kids during the day 2 stayed with me overnight. Stayed 2 days. Could have sent the kids out during ceremony, but I’m not that person. It’s not their fault the hotel doesn’t have a private separated area to hold events outside.

Overall, it was nice! They’re just doing some remodeling right now so things are a bit all over the place in terms of the check-in desk, breakfast and coffee, but they’re doing a good job with what they’ve got for right now! Once they open everything back up again, it’ll be phenomenal. I’m sure!

Very impressed by how large and clean the rooms are! The pool was a bit underwhelming, but given the time of year, I think that is why the slides were closed. Beautiful hotel!

Waterpark was wonderful for our grandchildren (all 6 and under).
Rooms were very nice.
The Pub, onsite , served delicious sandwiches.
The continental breakfast had many, many choices.
Staff were very friendly.

It was under construction which made getting around challenging. The food options were not great and the water park was chaotic and messy.

In the middle of a remodel. Bar/snack area was closed which was disappointing. Room was nice. Pool area could have been kept cleaner. There was food in the kids pool at one point.

Waterpark was fine but areas were dirty. Concession stand did not open when we went over a 2 day period. Arcade had many broken games. Rooms were okay and much more clean than the public areas.

Breakfast was horrible. Your options were waffles, oranges, bananas, yogurt, biscuits (typically old and mushy) and gravy, donuts (so old and stale), bread (toasting), bagels, mini muffins (old), and cereal. The last day we were there the poor staff member was running around like crazy trying to refresh everything because everything was so empty. The room was okay nothing too bad. The TV was nice and big but kept logging us out of Youtube and bringing us back to the home screen for no reason. The bathroom was so small. I know they are remodeling and i hope they plan to remodel the bathrooms. They were so small you had to shimmy your way in and partly close the door just to get in. The pool area was very nice and everything seemed good. It was a little dirty by the end of the weekend due to all the birthday parties so there was trash in the pool and around the area. At one point there was pizza crust shoved into the air hockey goalso no one could play properly. The staff at the front desk were hit and miss. Out of the 3 I personally interacted with only 1 was a little nasty. I mentioned that we needed 2 kid wrist bands and he didn't bother to ask any questions just told me $40, I thought he was joking and then I mentioned we were told to come down and get them today, he then said oh are you staying here, i said yes and he said well you should have said that. Which yes i should have but still. The prices for the toys were crazy so i would not recommend buying any toys there.

Lobby was closed for renovations.

Great to see that they are making renovations & updates.

The light switch on the wall next to the bed turns off both the lights and the outlet. During my business trip with a fairly new company, I was 2 hours late because my phone wasn't charging. Please just put a big label on the wall!

The room was nice. The hotel is under construction, so it's hard to rate. They are all trying their best during the renovation.
The indoor waterpark needs some updates and maintenance. Still nice, but would love to see it updated. Music and drinks in the waterpark would be a plus.
Breakfast is fine. Nothing special, but it's included.

Generally everything was very good. It was under construction while we were there, which means we didn't get to see the beautiful lobby or order from Starbucks.

Staff were very friendly. Not a fan of the amount of dogs at the property. Dog poop all over outside the patio along with vomit right in front of our patio door. Rooms were nicely redone minus the dog hair all over the couch. Smelled like weed in the hallway. Weed vaping by adults while in a kid filled outdoor hot tub. Not a fan. Likely won’t be back.

We were here two nights and here’s our mixed experience:
- Kids pooped in the pool both days, staff only scooped out the poop and didn’t have kids get out. Kids continued to swim in the pool both days.
- I don’t know why they even pay lifeguards because the lifeguards don’t watch the pools. They sit in the corner with AirPods and eat snacks. A kid walked into the pool that couldn’t swim and the only people who reacted were guests at the pool, not the lifeguard.
- Arcade card machine was down and ended up taking money from numerous people. Instead of offering refunds, they just gave a card worth that balance plus some later in the evening (which we couldn’t use).
- Construction is going on in the lobby area, so that’s closed. There was no noise from the construction though.
- Food at the restaurant is good, although service was slow.
- Rooms were nice, comfortable, and clean. Lots of parking and location was good.
