Waters of Minoqua is a little overrated, the rooms are ok. Our beds were so soft to the point it was hard to sleep, time for new mattresses and not just toppers. The most disappointing area was the pool area, it was so hot with little ventilation that the chlorine made your eyes burn and got a massive headache, something isn’t right and we couldn’t open any doors or windows to help. We ordered food from the restaurant which was less than desirable. I wouldn’t really recommend the Waters to anyone honestly.

This facility is odd. No phones in the rooms, very short handed, almost like a self service facility. The staff was very nice, just very few of them. NO daily service to your room, its walk to the front desk and ask. Rooms are beautiful but it seems like ownership has no interest in running the place like a real hotel of this caliber should be. The pool(s) are huge, but run down. The whole place has a niceness about it with no direction. Needs new management.

Some very dirty parts of the room, like a goopy black substance around the top of the ice bucket, some brown, dried liquid that was spilled down the wall, right next to the sink where the towels were hung (so, hard to believe that it wasn't seen), the area around the kiddie pool was very dirty. It's a smaller "ledge" that's probably hard to clean but a lot of the kids wanted to jump in from that side since it was a deeper part of the pool. The shower head made an awful, high pitched sound. I couldn't do anything to make it stop, besides shut the water off. Other than that, a great place! We had so much fun.

Nice place. More staff needed for gift shop n coffee bar. To many people checking in for one person to make the Starbucks coffee. Kind of a bummer had to go somewhere else for the coffee. Place was nice kid had a blast in water park. Pizza in bar restaurant was good. Third time staying here will come again was worth the money. Hot tub is cool in winter months being outside in a hot tub is cool .
