The wife and I took a chance on Cliffside Inn for an overnight stay after going to Ishnala Supper Club in Lake Delton. We LOVED our room so much, we decided to stay another night! Most of the reviews were good and we ignored the few bad reviews from the complainers who are like kids; you give them chocolate ice cream and the beef about not getting vanilla, you know the type!
So we arrived and were greeted by Angie and wonderful older very polite and very pleasant lady. Check in took only a few minutes and we were off to our King Size Jacuzzi Suite. The room was very clean and very cool with AC running for us before we arrived. Jacuzzi was squeaky clean, white, with no stains, etc., that would have been a turnoff for the wife and I. The balcony overlooked Lake Delton directly across from Tommy Bartlett Water Show which we watched both evenings, two shows one at 4:30 and 8:30pm
The view off the balcony was absolutely wonderful. The balcony is not huge but plenty of room for two chairs and small table to hold your drink. We had Room 107 which put our balcony right on the huge deck and thus was not private. Room 108 is the same room and features but the balcony is a bit more private as it has a wall between the balconies of 107 and 108, however your nosy neighbor could look over the 4 foot wall so even 108 while more private is not enough for you know what on the balcony unless it was late, late night or early morning!
Maid service was great, I asked for all clean bed linens and towels, etc, all which were gladly done and provided for us. FYI I always tip the maid as they work their butts off to keep us comfortable! $5 a night is not a lot and I am certain they appreciate the thought
All the facilities are well-cared for, clean and very nice. There are some places where a little wear and tear are visible but they're minimal and have not affect on your comfort or convenience. The place has an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, small workout room(who cares) and a very spacious deck overlooking Lake Delton with plenty of tables with umbrellas, and lounge chairs. Great for watching water show, playing cards, drinks, etc.
Cliffside is located close by to the attractions in the Dells and Lake Delton. We're older and didn't go there for any of the tourist stuff; honestly if you have a family there's plenty to do right here to keep the kiddos happy for hours and days; fish right off the pier, swim in the lake off the sandy private beach, have a fire in the pit, gas grills with utensils to grill, game room all enough to keep grandkids happy when we bring them up for our next visit. The room had nice sized (not huge) ice cold refrigerator, microwave oven and 4 cup coffeemaker; get the coffee, cups, sugar, half and half at the office which is gladly provided, just for the asking.
Plenty of paved parking with an array of security cameras facility wide for your safety. I would highly recommend Cliffside for a private getaway or family vacation; well worth the drive from Chicago and our new favorite getaway. For $185 a night in high season I think it's a good value given all the amenities Cliffside has to offer. I'm very glad the wife found it and I am already looking forward to my next stay, try it and you will too! read more
