The best available hotels & places to stay near Wisconsin

June 22, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks. Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings. Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells! Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Wonderful downtown hotel

Reviewed By lttfp7y0xl

Lovely hotel with generous breakfast and evening happy hour. Hotel is connected via skywalks to 3rd Street Market House! Do beware that paying extra for an upper floor may not warrant a view. Our window gave us a view of the adjacent building and let in next to no ambient light. The room was very clean and the beds extremely comfortable.

Unfortunate start turned great!

We booked a spontaneous trip to Grand Geneva for Memorial Day weekend to get away from home for a couple days. We booked a suite to accomodate our family of four. Prior to departing for our trip, we received a call from Caitlyn telling us that the air-conditioing in our room was broken and that no other suites were available. She offered to put us in a 3-bedroom villa for the inconvenience with no change in price. We really wanted to be in the main lodge for the convenience and access to the pool, restaurants, and other activiites. However, the stay in the Villa was exceptional, and surprisngly very convenient and accessible. Caitlyn also provided some additional indulgences to make our stay very memorable. Highly recommend the Grand Geneva for standing behind their satisfaction guarantee. Caitlyn also deserves a huge thank you!

Find someplace else

Reviewed By en653

Got kicked out of the lobby bathroom, because apparently it was closed. There was no sign, and the man who did it was probably a supervisor and he treated me like I was a child and was very angry and rude. Room could be better. Stain on bed. Dust in some places. Location is decent, but I would definitely find somewhere else to stay in next time.

Worst night ever

Reviewed By huber21ross2

Terrible management. One of the worst nights I have ever had in a hotel. The smoke alarm battery was not changed so the smoke alarm kept beeping the whole night. I complain to the front desk the following morning and they told me to call the manager. I called the manager and he said there was nothing they could do he said it was my fault that i didn’t Call during the night. I would never recommend this hotel to anybody.
