One of three hotels on the enormous Wilderness Hotel & Golf Resort, the Glacier Canyon Lodge is a 460-room mega-hotel that's popular with families and corporate guests. Rooms range from simple Queen Doubles to huge three-bedrooms with full kitchens, which can accommodate large families and groups. The biggest draw for many guests are the property's numerous theme-park activities, and eight water parks (some of which are indoors), but the possibility of noisy children running around might make it a less-than-ideal choice for those seeking a romantic getaway, or a peaceful respite.

Mt. Olympus Resort is definitely the biggest resort in Wisconsin Dells, complete with sprawling indoor and outdoor water and theme parks, but it's definitely not the best. Discounts to local restaurants, free water park passes, and championship golf lures groups and families, but dirty rooms, crowds, and wristband requirements prevent most of them from booking future visits. For those who care more about roller coasters, a rock wall, game arcade, and waterslides than luxury rooms, the three-pearl Mt. Olympus Resort is still a good family pick. Check rates at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions for nicer rooms and some of the same water park features.

One of three hotels on the enormous Wilderness Resort, the Wilderness Hotel & Golf Resort has 444 rooms, ranging from simple Double Queens to huge rooms with fireplaces, wet bars, and whirlpool tubs in the bathrooms. The resort is hugely popular among families with kids, thanks to its numerous theme-park activities and eight water parks (some of which are indoors). That said, the possibility of lots of noisy kids running around might not make it the best choice for those seeking a romantic getaway or a quiet retreat.

Ambers Hideaway is a 42-room, two-floor motel on the main drag of Wisconsin Dells. It's close to water parks and other attractions in the downtown area, and the grounds are surprisingly quieter than expected (minus the noise from guests.) The property is clean, family-owned, and not fancy, instead it is rather simple and functional with a few add-ons. Tickets to Chula Vista Water Park are included with the stay, and there are an indoor hot tub, a seasonal outdoor pool, barbecue grills, and laundry facilities. Free (spotty) Wi-Fi is also available. Rooms are neither modern nor glamorous, but are functional with generic decor, making it a budget-friendly choice. Try comparing rates at nearby Aloha Beach Resort & Suites for access to Lake Delton and free tickets to Noah's Ark water park.
