Best Hotels near Island Park, Little Chute

I returned to WI to visit family for the first time since September 2019 and usually stay with my family but because of COVID and vaccine hesitancy (seriously, people) in addition to the fact I was traveling with a friend, opted to stay at a hotel. I chose the Holiday Inn because they had an airport shuttle as well as a fitness room. I could not be more impressed with this hotel. I am an international traveler and have stayed at myriad hotels, usually with Accor or iPrefer and I would say this hotel rivals some of the nicer Novotel places I have stayed at in Europe. The room was well appointed with a relatively generous sized mini fridge and plenty of storage/closet space. The bathroom and shower were a decent size and the amenities (lotion, shower gel, etc.) were nice. As someone else mentioned, the blackout shades were a plus and I actually found the bedding, including the pillows to be comfy. The fitness room is top notch (hope they keep up on the equipment maintenance) and the pool and whirlpool area is nice. My only complaint was that there was a group of kids that treated the whirlpool like a kiddy pool when I wanted to chill after the elliptical. Granted I didn’t say anything to the hotel staff but I can’t imagine they didn’t see it on security monitors. For now, they aren’t doing housekeeping which I know is due to COVID and wasn’t a big deal for a 2 night stay. The hotel bar was only open from 6-8 (I think) but that was fine for our purposes. When we arrived on Friday night, we met with my aunt out on the fantastic patio and had rose from the bar with pizza delivered from Stucs (highly recommend). All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and have recommended it to my mother who will be visiting the area in September.

Check in was easy and smooth process. Solid location. It's about 5miles from all of the restaurants and stores. Room was clean but had the slight odor of a wet dog. Pool was huge and very accessible, as well as the sauna which you could actually throw water on the rocks! Hot tub was out of service, which sucked after hours on the road. The breakfast had limited options of cold and hot, but was still good enough. The downside was the price. At the time of booking, it was $225. They were the lowest in the area with no events going on and not being directly downtown it seemed a bit high. Would definitely stay again with the kids.

Attention to detail lacking Room: shower gel container empty; no info in room regarding local attractions Fitness center: water leakage from ceiling onto exercise machine creating safety issue; water cooler did not appear to be functional Elevator signage stated that room key was required for floors three and four; no room key required

This is our second year choosing the doubletree for a travel tournament. The customer service is fantastic at the front desk and the bar. My only issue with the hotel is they only have one bank of elevators….so around checkout on a Sunday plan for stairs or waiting. The gym is pretty good but the stability ball is deflated and they had a fan in there last year that’s gone now. But good selection of dumbbells and a working cable machine in addition to cardio. The hotel is also very close to several food options and shopping! I’d definitely return
