“You get what you pay for.”

You get what you pay for. Motel's/Hotels on a Summer Weekend in June will normally cost $129 - $139 per night. Star Motel's cost was $49.00. I've been to worse motels and I've been to much better.

The Room had a musty smell. The smell went away after I turned on the air conditioner. Room was OK, Fridge was in working condition. Microwave worked. It wasn't the cleanest place. Bedding was washed but old and full of stains. I am afraid to ask where the stains came from. It also looked like someone blew their nose on the shower curtain. I didn't need to use the showers because we used the showers at the water parks.

They did have a nice playground and plenty of grills for outside cooking. I used a couple of the pools, they seemed OK.

Employees were OK.

It is too bad the place is so run down. The place could be thriving with a little bit of TLC.

I would give the Star Motel a Terrible Rating had I paid a higher price for my room. You can't really expect High Class amenities
for $49.00 a night.

If you plan on staying here. Bring your own bedding, extra pillows and a can of Lysol.

  • Liked — Location. Place is centrally located to several popular Waterparks and tourist attractions.
  • Disliked — Room was not clean. Some problems with old bedding, and old pillows. Bathroom was not clean.

“i was impressed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2007

I read the first review and I was scared! That is, until i went to the motel this weekend. It's not the worst hotel i've ever stayed in, and I encountered NO problems with cleanliness or the decor. (But quite honestly, I dont care too much about a hotel's decor anyway)

When you're in Wisconsin Dells, you shouldnt really be spending a lot of time in your room.

The times that i was in the room, i found it to be comfortable and clean. While the hot tub near the office did not work during the 2nd night, they had a whole other pool area that did have a functioning hot tub. they have 6 pools, the staff is polite, friendly, and accommodating, and i found that i would go back to this property for future reservations.

Additionally, they included a deal to get Mt Olympus waterpark tickets for $14 with a room reservartion, normally those tickets are $34. It was a great deal, at a good hotel.

  • Liked — the location and proximity to theme parks, as well as the $14 mt olympus tickets
  • Disliked — n/a

“Worst hotel I've ever been to hands down”

WOW. You really get what you pay for. I booked a one-night hotel stay here because it was one of the cheapest motels in the Dells.

The room smelled musty and had not been updated for years. Now I am not one to care particularly if the decor is the latest and greatest, but never before have I stayed somewhere that had such outdated decor. The TV, curtains, lighting, bedsheets, old, old, OLD as in 1970's old.

The bathroom was tiny and did not contain any soap, shampoo, lotions, etc. The refrigerator did not work. On a big sign out front it listed all the amenities including phones in the room. Well, there was no phone in our room, and when I went to the front desk to inquire I was told there were no phones in any rooms!

Also both the whirlpools and the sauna was out of order! TERRIBLE!!!!! Not worth the $65 I paid. I wouldn't pay $20 to stay here.

0 stars!
