Grand Marquis Waterpark Hotel & Suites
A kids' pool, two hot tubs, budget-hotel prices
About this hotel
Grand Marquis Waterpark Hotel & Suites structures its indoor pool complex around a dedicated kids' pool separate from the main pool, plus two hot tubs, a layout that lets younger children splash safely while older kids and adults use the bigger pool space nearby. Because the whole complex is indoor, it stays open regardless of the Wisconsin weather outside, whether that's a summer thunderstorm or a shoulder-season visit when Mt. Olympus's outdoor sections have already closed. Rooms stay simple and budget-focused, with free Wi-Fi and free parking, so the value here concentrates almost entirely in the pool complex rather than a long list of extra amenities, making this a smart, weather-proof pairing with a day or two spent at Mt. Olympus itself.

Our take
This hotel suits families wanting real indoor pool variety, a dedicated kids' pool and two hot tubs, without paying resort rates near Mt. Olympus. It suits less well families expecting the scale of a full water park resort, since this is one indoor complex within a budget hotel rather than a multi-acre facility.
- ✓Check both hot tubs' hours before you arrive, since one occasionally closes for maintenance during busier weeks.
- ✓Use the dedicated kids' pool for younger children while older kids use the main pool at the same time.
- ✓Book this property specifically as a rain-day backup if your trip includes outdoor time planned at Mt. Olympus.
Why we love it
- Dedicated kids' pool separate from main pool
- Two hot tubs on the same deck
- Indoor complex open regardless of weather
- Genuinely budget-tier room rate
Why guests love itWe booked this for a rainy forecast weekend and the separate kids' pool kept our four-year-old happily occupied for hours while our older son claimed one of the two hot tubs was the best part of the whole trip. It ended up covering an entire wet afternoon that would have otherwise cut our Mt. Olympus time short. We would book this again without a second thought.
