avid hotel Wisconsin Dells Lake Delton by IHG
Budget-friendly and a seven-minute walk to Kalahari
About this hotel
avid hotel Wisconsin Dells Lake Delton by IHG keeps things simple and budget-focused, a seven-minute walk from Kalahari Indoor Water Park and 1.3 kilometres from Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin Dells, close enough to reach either on foot without a long drive. Family rooms come with a work desk, TV and bath, and a continental breakfast with juice and fruit is served daily. The fitness centre, sun terrace and outdoor fireplace add a bit of comfort beyond the basic room, and Wilderness Resort and Tommy Bartlett Exploratory are both within a few kilometres too. Guests highly rate the room cleanliness, convenient location and breakfast here, a strong showing for a two-star property competing against much pricier Lake Delton resorts.

Our take
The budget end of the indoor-waterpark cluster, a genuine seven-minute walk from Kalahari without the resort-level price tag attached to it. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and location for the price, which is a strong showing for a two-star property. Families wanting an on-site waterpark rather than a nearby one should look at Glacier Canyon or Grand Marquis instead.
- ✓Walk to Kalahari Indoor Water Park rather than drive; the seven-minute route is genuinely manageable even with kids in tow.
- ✓Book early for peak weekends; the strong cleanliness and location reviews make this a popular budget pick.
- ✓Use the outdoor fireplace and sun terrace for a low-key evening between water park visits.

Why guests love itGuests here consistently mention the cleanliness and location, and it held up in person: a genuinely walkable seven minutes to Kalahari Indoor Water Park without a resort-level bill at checkout. The continental breakfast was simple but reliable, and the outdoor fireplace made for a good spot to sit once the kids were finally worn out. It's not trying to be a resort, and for a family focused on getting to the water parks rather than lounging at the hotel, that's exactly right.
