Holiday Inn Express Sheboygan-Kohler / I-43 by IHG
Indoor pool and full breakfast off I-43
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Express Sheboygan-Kohler / I-43 by IHG gives families a genuine second pool with its indoor swimming pool and fitness centre, a useful backup for a Blue Harbor Resort trip when Wisconsin weather turns or the group just wants a quieter swim than the water park allows. The continental buffet breakfast runs to warm dishes, pancakes, juice, and fruit, enough to fuel a family before a full day of toboggans without a food-court stop. Rooms keep things simple with air-conditioning, a private bathroom, and a work desk, and the 24-hour front desk covers a late check-in after a long drive from Milwaukee. The hotel sits about seven kilometres from the Above & Beyond Children's Museum and Sea Dog Sportfishing Charters, giving the group a second Sheboygan stop if the water park crowd runs long on a school-holiday afternoon.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a real second pool without paying resort rates, plus a breakfast substantial enough to skip the water park's food court entirely. The fitness centre is a bonus for a parent trying to counter a day of standing in lines rather than swimming. Families chasing a downtown, walk-to-the-beach address should look at the Sheboygan properties closer to the waterfront instead.
- ✓Arrive for the continental buffet early on a Blue Harbor Resort morning; the warm dishes and pancakes go fastest before a school-holiday rush to the water park.
- ✓Book ahead for Kohler-area weekends, when both the hotel's rooms and its indoor pool see heavier family demand.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the pool deck if a light sleeper in your group needs quiet after a loud day of slides.

Why guests love itFor a family splitting a Blue Harbor Resort trip between the water park and a quieter morning, this hotel's own indoor pool took the pressure off planning every hour around the resort's crowds. Breakfast ran long enough that nobody needed a mid-morning snack stop, and the drive to the Children's Museum filled a slow afternoon when two kids had simply had enough chlorine for one day. It reads as a solid, no-surprises base rather than a destination in itself.
