Most of the rooms have a small balcony that in the summer would be perfect for cocktails overlooking the beautiful tree line lake in your backyard. In the winter time, there's a whirlpool tub in the bedroom to look out over the snow, covered trees and beautiful winter wonderland while you soak the stress away. Because it's condos almost all the rooms have a small full kitchen, though it's not well stocked. Small conveniences like a vase for flowers would be helpful.

Hilltop is the backdrop to many an annual family vacation...35 years and counting for us!…read more Many of us remember the day when you could completely disconnect, enjoying nothing (and everything) but your screened porch, the dock, the lake, fishing, swimming, hiking, a night cap at the Rathskeller. These days, cell phones and wifi exist; will power is difficult but worth it here! Hilltop is close to many area activities: restaurants and bars, golf, mini-golf, horseback riding, go-carts, shopping and antiquing, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, waterski team shows, the casino, and so much more. The cottages are quaint, rustic, but have just enough. Bedrooms, a small bathroom/shower, dining area, a basic (but full) kitchen, and a screened porch (grab a lakeside cottage!). What you get far exceeds stuffing a family in a hotel room (except for making your own bed)! So, the bad: If living the sandy lake-life isn't your thing you might reconsider. Especially if you have kids in and out of the cottage; I haven been or met one yet that knows how to stomp their feet! You might still have to cook or grill your meals. Rainy days are a bummer but great days for boardgames or books! There are mosquitos the size of airplanes. A rogue raccoon might (rarely) audition for the trash screen in The Great Outdoors! You're surrounded by a dark forest. You forgot to upgrade your complimentary row boat to one with a motor. It's mid-summer, there's no a/c, and you refuse to swim. The Rathskeller runs out of (root)beer or ice cream. Again, the experience of the Northwoods is what you make of it. We go for the things we enjoy, our family, and the friends we've made over decades. Hilltop is our perfect backdrop.

It is an okay place to stay for a night passing through on a snowmobile, but not for long durations. The bar offers pizzas and air-fryer frozen chicken tenders (nothing to write home about), and you see the pool/jacuzzi from the entry. With that in mind, I will say that the breakfast in the morning is good with eggs, sausages, and waffles you can make yourself.

There was a snow storm on March 13th. I noticed the sidewalks or walkways were not shoveled. I…read morewent to the main desk around 7:30am to ask when would they be cleared so I could make my way to my car. The lady with the shoulder length hair ( not the one with the short hair who worked overnight, she was really nice) stated someone should be in around 9am. By noon, I noticed nothing was cleared so I went back up to the desk. She stated they had no one to remove the snow from the sidewalks. There was at least a foot of snow and to drag luggage through it would have been a nightmare. So I asked if they had a shovel that I could borrow as my car was backed up to the patio to my room. She stated she did not have a shovel I could borrow, however, I could purchase a shovel and pointed to some shovels for sale near the door. Why would a water park sell shovels to people that rent their hotel suites? Anyway, I smiled and went back to my room. I ended up using the microwave plate to remove as much snow as I could.In order to get to my trunk and get the heck out of there. It took me a couple of weeks to write this review, as i've been staying at other hotels in the area, and i've explained the situation and the other area hotels have looked at me like I was crazy. Never again will I stay here. I come here weekly for work and our business pays for our travel expenses. Would love to know from the management why should we purchase shovels from you in order to clean the sidewalks to access our vehicles?

I wish I could give this place a better review. But I woke up one morning with bug bites all over…read moremy arms and legs. I had to go to the Save-A-Lot nearby to buy Benadryl and steroid cream just to keep the itching at bay. I have never experienced bed bugs.... But pretty sure this was it. I will NEVER be back. I was offered by the management to have a discount on my bill for this occurrence, but they never did give me the discount. Shame on them. Please do not visit this property unless you plan on burning everything you have.

Stayed at the Pointe for 3 nights. The room originally assigned to us was too close to traffic, so…read morewe were given a different, and much nicer room as far from traffic as you can get. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our unit faced the lake and all we heard were the rustling of the leaves. Peaceful and quiet. Just what we wanted! The furniture including mattress was very comfortable. Everything was clean. The breakfast was a very nice amenity. This resort is also very convenient for visiting other towns nearby. Over all, we really liked this place. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful place to stay during the summer if you want to spend time boating and shopping…read more Conveniently located within walking distance to downtown Minocqua yet quiet enough to enjoy the view from the rooms looking out over Minocqua Lake. Receptionist and staff were very welcoming. Continental Breakfast was ok for those liking the convenience. Indoor pool and hot tub are shared with the condo owners. All in all 4 stars.

As retirees, we want to travel a bit more. I was satisfied that I could find a room in a motel that…read morewas rated well among customers. I thought it was pretty nice that, on the day before the stay, they sent me several text messages about how to get to our room: directions from the main desk, the combinations to the digital locks and how to use them, and they even sent me a picture of the room's door. The outside of the hotel looked clean and might have had a recent remodel. There was no professional landscaping, but I didn't expect to see any, either. It became clear immediately that those text messages were worth saving. There is a digital combination lock for the main door and the same combination for the door leading up to our room. There was no one at the main desk, which I thought was odd. Our room's door was missing the trim around it (I was told via text that the digital lock is new, so I assume that the whole door is new, too?). Our room was located on the second floor - the only room on the second floor. The only way to get there was to navigate the narrow hallway then climb some stairs that were slightly steeper than standard. Because we are retirees and my wife's knees have been surgically replaced, the steepness made it difficult to get to our room. When I got to the top of the stairs I could see that there is a non-zero probability of accidentally falling down the stairs as there is no door or gate at the top. Nevertheless, the room looked spacious and cozy. The bedroom was comfortable and well set up. It was roomy, had comfy chairs, a day beef in addition to the king bed, a coffee bar, and a TV which we didn't use. It looks like they spent most of their remodeling money on the bathroom. It's very nice and big (see pics). The bedroom's and hallway's carpeted areas don't feel like they're well-padded. Our picture window looks out over a lake with loads of lilypads and a deck. We got lucky and saw three deer (a doe and two fawns). If you don't like interacting with humans, you don't have to. We did online booking, got our keys (digital combinations) via text message, and left without seeing anyone. I wonder how long it would have taken to get assistance if we needed it. In sum, we would not stay at this motel in the future. For younger persons with good knees, this would be a good choice.

We were driving through Minocqua on our way to the Apostle Islands and decided to spend the…read moreday/night at AmericInn Minocqua. We had our dog with us, so we needed dog-friendly lodging. We stayed at the AmericInn because of the convenience to the downtown area and they accept dogs in certain rooms. The reason for the one-star rating is: our hotel room carpet was stained, damp feeling, and smelled bad. Our room #116 smelled like Fritos and dirty feet. The carpet throughout the entire hotel, especially on the stairs in the common areas, was dirt colored. We wore our shoes the entire time we were in our room, unless we were in the bed or showering. The whirlpool in our room was unsatisfactory. It looked old and creepy and was in the living room area. The reason we wanted the hotel room with the whirlpool is because we thought the bathroom would be larger, but it was so small that when my husband wanted to close the door to use the bathroom, he had to step into the tub to close the door. The view from our room was the parking lot. When I woke up, I had multiple bites on my legs and waist area. Lastly, the receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and personable, and that was the only good part about my overall experience.

There was old food still in the garbage cans. I went to the front desk and they said they only clean upon request, so I requested they clean. They said "every day?" like it was unusual to expect my garbage taken out or towels replaced. I said, okay, every other day is fine. They cleaned only once in the five nights and six days I was there. I had to take my own garbage out, so my room didn't stink of old food. I won't stay here again, and probably never at another AmericInn, either.
