I've stayed at most of the Minocqua motels over the years, and I think, for a basic room, this is probably the nicest and best value in town. Rooms are large, modern, and comfortable. It is nice to have the pub and food available onsite, though the selection is pretty limited. Two quibbles: (1) the breakfast offering is pretty basic, though typical for motels, and (2) I wish the rooms had carpet. My room had bare vinyl plank flooring throughout, which seems a bit cold.

I came in for a funeral and we stayed at the waters. It was a nice reprieve for my grandsons from a hard loss. Thank you so much, very courteous front desk and staff.

The best facility for a family reunion. We have made life long memories for our children, and now grandchildren, over the last 4 decades.

Rambunctious and out of control children running up and down the halls and knocking on doors. Parents are MIA at all times even when kids are in the hot tub. Staff is unhelpful, unprofessional, and unfit to run a hotel/resort. Didn’t/couldn’t stay all night which sucked because we had 1 good night months ago. Food DOES suck. Pump for hot tub outside was not working. Sydney needs some training on how to deal with guests. “You still have to pay” she says as I left early on my own before midnight. Seriously.

My room was spacious and clean. It was comfortable with a couch, new fixtures, and large screen tv. The lobby is large an pleasant with central fireplace. The onsite pub has a limited menu but was good and convenient. The free breakfast on the other hand was disappointing. Very limited selection. No hot food, a few small oranges. Instant oatmeal, off- brand dry cereal.
