I had a fine stay here. The comforters were a bit stained but seemed laundered. It was pretty cold…read more(42 degrees) when we got there and they wouldn't turn the heat on in the rooms until the second night, but they did give us a powerful little space heater for the room. The fixtures and curtains were original circa 1960s. There was a nice flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge, a coffee maker with coffee, and a microwave. The locals we'd come to visit laughed at us for staying here, but I have a fondness for little old bungalow-style motels with original elements. I had a non-smoking room that smelled just lovely. You should know from looking that it ain't the Ritz, but it was a perfectly decent, quiet place to stay for a couple of nights with a bit of quaint, if slightly squalid, charm.

So, the running joke through my whole trip to Waupun, WI, is that I am a city girl that hasn't had…read moremuch exposure to "country living". I cannot disagree with that. I mean, up until four days ago, I had only heard of "Piggly Wiggly" in movies and even then, I thought it was a bbq restaurant! (*cough* it's a grocery store?....ok) However, city or country living, I do believe that if you exchange money for certain amenities, they should be in place. To start off, I cannot say enough good things about the couple running this place. They were incredibly welcoming and chipper. If there was anything we needed - irons, restaurant recommendations, directions - whatever, they were there to help. That being said, the friendly couple bumped my review up to two stars instead of one. We had booked a non smoking room. We were handed a key once we arrived that lead us to room #11. Now, being a former smoker, I'm not too sensitive to the smell of smoke. I know when it's present, but it doesn't bother me. We entered a room that had to have been smoked in (with windows shut) for years and years. This could be seen by the dripping nicotine stains that ran down the walls and the yellow tinted windows. Before puking, we returned to the office and asked for another room. We were given another room but were told that we would have to switch rooms halfway through our stay. What? Moving on.. We did not have hot water for the entire stay. Every morning for four days consisted of a 2 min shower underneath ICE COLD water. The other seven people we knew in other rooms did not have hot or even warm water either. Again, city or country living, when you pay for a motel room, hot water should be high on the list of things that need to be included. Beyond those reasons for my rating, it was a compilation of other tiny things. Things that may not matter to others, but for me, lead to a fairly dissatisfied experience.

Adorable Inn close to Devil's lake, a few minutes from Downtown Baraboo, and less than 20 minutes…read moreto all that the Wisconsin Dells has to offer. We stayed for a long weekend, and and it was the perfect location to get away. The rooms are all themed so when you call to reserve you can pick from the rooms they have available. We stayed in Unit 2, the Devil's Lake room which had photos of Devil's lake. The room included a mini refrigerator, coffee and tea, and alarm clock if needed. Right outside your door they have chairs and tables for enjoying the beautiful weather. They also have grills and an area for bonfires. I was only able to go to the communal area/lobby for the first morning as it was soon closed as they were started to do contactless check in/out. But it seems as though in less COVID-y times they have some coffee or tea there, light breakfast items like mini muffins or breakfast bars and fruit. They also had a communal puzzle and board games. Overall the place is super cozy, perfectly situated for a relaxing vacation with a number of restaurants and small shops to visit in Baraboo.

Loved everything about this place- the breakfast nook and lounge area where everything was right…read moreout of the 50's. The rooms all have different names & themes which are lovingly and impressively done. It's a great place for a family gathering as there's loads of outdoor space: 1) large Fire pit in back, 2) Gazebo with lawn games, 3) picnic tables. Then, in front are the BBQ grills and several different-styled patio tables, as well as, 2 colorful nostalgic metal chairs directly outside each room. Lovely landscaping & flowers everywhere. Don't miss the bubbling brook just alongside the South side of the lounge and a peaceful spot to read. We visited Devils Lake Park, a diner in Baraboo, and an escape room in the Dells area. It's nearby lots of attractions. Oh yeah, the family that owns the joint are really nice

We stayed here for two nights because of a local conference. From what I experienced, this place…read morecould have been better, especially paying $160 ($180 when you add taxes) a night. That would be more inline with a moderate Hilton property which this was not. The rooms and cleanliness of the hotel were adequate but you can tell this place has aged quite a bit. Judging from the architecture, this used to be the old Americinn but now the new Americinn is down the street and the existing building was sold off. This location is now considered a Baymont Inn & Suites. It looks like they didn't do too much to update or change it for the better, basically kept it as is. There is no more exercise room or dry sauna, both have been turned into storage. The hot tub was also closed down while we were visiting. Not sure if that was temporary or if it has been out for some time. The pool wasn't that warm so not having a hot tub was a huge miss for us. Breakfast was not bad. Standard hot continental options - make your own waffles, sausage, breakfast potatoes, and microwaved omelets. There was also plenty of cold breakfast options as well. Location was pretty good, you are within walking distance/short drive to many different fast food options and gas stations, right across the street from a grocery store (Piggly Wiggly), and around the corner from a local coffee shop. You are also right off the highway (for better and for worse). If I would have paid in the $80-110 range I would have been OK with this place but I overpaid for what I got in terms of experience.

This place has been so amazing. The hot tub is huge, the maid service is extremely pleasent and…read morethorough. The ladies at the front desk have been very polite, respectful, and courteous. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone whose not to high and mighty for a quaint little place with respectful friendly staff.
