I read some reviews on here and was a little put off, but it was labor day weekend and a lot of the other "value" centered places had a two night minimum, so I thought to give it a try. My sister, two cousins and I were all for adventure, so The Mayflower is where we landed.

Okay people this is NOT the Ritz Carlton. This is outdated and the rooms were definitely worn, but it was for the most part clean and comfy. It IS a kitschy motel on the dells strip. It is a bargain. The staff were top notch, fast, helpful, we needed some extra towels and pillows, no problem for them. It has 2 outdoor and 2 indoor pools, free wifi and was a decent place to stay. The hot tub and sauna were a nice surprise, and like the pool clean and well cared for. A fridge, a microwave, a great location ... we weren't expecting "amazing," but what we got was decent/adequate/cheap and it worked for us and I would stay again.

The location of this hotel was good (near Noah's Ark) and the girls at the front desk were helpful. Our room was dirty and needed to be updated. The bathroom shower had hair in it and all over the floor. The carpet in the room had so many stains you were afraid to walk around barefoot. We started to guess what each stain was and how it got there. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were very flat. We also had a plastic piece over the mattress that made the bed uncomfortable. The refrigerator in the room was also dirty. We paid $150 to stay one night on a Saturday. Wish we would have spent a little more to stay at a better hotel.

We rented a loft room. The second queen bed was in a loft above the main room. Our teenagers loved this. It gave us space to stretch out in, we didn't feel that we were packed into a typical hotel room. This made the stay much more enjoyable. There is also a couch and table. With the fridge and microwave we could keep snacks on hand, which helped some with the cost of eating out. They have two indoor pools and two outdoor pools. They have discounts which we were able to use at Noah's Ark Waterpark (whole family loved this) and Wizards' Quest (also a lot of fun)

The room rates were cheap and located right on the strip close to all of the main attractions, but the motel was old and not modern, but it was clean. I didn't particularly care for the old stale smell of the room or the old bedding. This motel is perfect for a a young party crowd who doesn't care about anything but a place to lay their head after a night of partying. Not for a family who would like to enjoy the room. I won't be revisiting it the next time I'm in the Dells.
