Review of Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin...

Once again, wish a 1/2 star could be an option, as I feel 1-1/2 star is closer to my experience was with this lodge. This review is from 2015 so is a little dated.

The one thing that I can't get over, with water resorts, is if they're filthy. Went to two (2) different water parks within this resort and both were completely filthy. I don't think these resorts do an effective job cycling/filtering the human skin and other things that accumulate in a large pool area and the Wilderness is no exception...no in fact I'd have to say it was exceptionally worse than most.

If you're staying at a resort for an overnight or a non-pool related event, I can offer up some decent things to say about this resort: The resorts hotel rooms are spacious and nice. The extra's are average for a resort this size and the staff was helpful. I just can't give anything more than 1-1/2 stars for a pool related hotel-resort when the pools were as filthy as they were.

One other downside to this place was the food. I know it's a waterpark, however as another commenter said "the pizza tasted like cardboard". And I might add the chick strips tasted like rubber with sawdust breaded on it. My kids (who eat almost anything pizza and chicken related) couldn't eat more than a couple of bites after playing in the pool for hours and starving.
