Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin Dells
The pools were nice and the waterslides were all open during our stay. During a prior stay some of the waterslides were not working. Also the gym is extremely outdated.

Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark
Pool and slides were fun for children and adults. Rooms need to be updated. Although clean, signs of wear and tear were apparent in the bathroom.

The Dylin
Rooms are a lot bigger than you think! Everything you need for your stay in Madison. Not sure if you could park in the street, but be warned that if you park in the the garage there is an extra fee per day. Very convenient and worth it as it’s covered and warm in there. Close to everything. Great ...
