Staff was waiting for me when I arrived super late and greeted me happily. They were so friendly and took the time to help me with a car rental issue I’d encountered. Ahead of my arrival, they had also planned to place me in a quieter area of the hotel to avoid any noise issues from a couple groups of teens that were also staying. My room was very clean and felt a little like I was at summer camp with all the lodge decor. Hot hot hot shower water. The pool was also pretty clean, I used the hot tub and it looked like one of the workers was testing the pool water to keep it nice.

Everything throughout the hotel, including our room, was spotless. They have a beautiful pool and hot tub, also sparkling clean, plus a small but very adequate workout room and a fire pit in the evenings. The bed was extremely comfortable and the staff were super friendly and helpful. An all-around warm and inviting environment with a North Woods vibe.

Checking in was a breeze. Renee, the Chief Operating Executive, was friendly and gave me local recommendations for meals. The lobby and rooms were definitely lodge themed, which gives a welcomed break from all the "modern" hotels that lack novelty. Overall, a really nice place to stay. I will stay here again if business brings me back to the area.

This motel ranks among the very top motels we have ever stayed at. Staff at check-in was efficient and very friendly. The room was clean, well-designed and attractively decorated, as was the entire building. The breakfast was ample, biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, bagels, doughnuts, yogurt, you name it. Also a nice variety of beverages. The great room with cozy fireplace and computer access for guests was wonderful. Will be looking forward to staying at the Wildwood Lodge again!

Everything stood out! Staff was awesome. Clean room, just really cool atmosphere/decor. Outdoor fireplace was nice. Close to restaurants, hot breakfast. Pool available if you like that. I would recommend this place to anyone. Can’t forget being able to bring my beautiful pup is non-negotiable! Price was same as other places I’ve stayed, that did not even compare. Definitely 5⭐️
