Indian Trail Motel

This motel was really charming. I felt like I stepped back in time. We booked online and the rate was so cheap, I was a bit worried. Check-​in was at 2:00 but we arrived an hour early and they let us check-​in early. The owner was really nice and they gave us a coupon book and a $ 3 off discount at the restaurant adjacent to the property. They also told us about the nightly bonfire behind the hotel, right at the foot of a wooded nature trail. The motel was one story and you get to park right in front of your door. Each unit has a picture window with porch seating in front. As we walked into the room, it was a bit of a shock to see the wood paneling and décor, including duvet, from another decade (I’m not sure which decade, as I think it was before my time, but perhaps late 1960’s). The bed linens were crisp and fresh. The bathroom was fairly updated and very clean. The room smelled strongly of mildew and the carpeting was damp in several spots. The TV was an older, picture tube model, but there were lots of channels and the free wifi worked great. The microwave and refrigerator were a nice feature. The rooms are divided by cement walls, so sleep was extremely peaceful and quiet. The cost definitely allowed us to overlook the couple of issues we experienced. The location is also, superb.

Great old school motel. Clean and comfortable rooms, Owners where very courteous and friendly. Great place to stay if you’re just looking for a place to sleep.

Great place… really nice owners /​managers… excellent service staff… great location… nice pools and jacuzzi… nature areas… and they include Noah’s Arc Waterpark tickets for 3 days. Also excellent. I will definitely be back.

No complaints at all. Pools are both very nice. Room was very pristine, bathroom was clean.
Appears to be a hotel that is taken of, which is becoming rare to find these days.
Distance to downtown Dells is just right for me, neither to far or to close. We will stay here in the future.

I booked this room very scared because I had never stayed at a motel before. We usually stay at aloha beach resort but that was booked along with all the other hotels in the area. I even thought about canceling but to my surprise this place was nice. They had a nice indoor pool and hot tub which we only used on the first night. they also have an outdoor pool which we never got to use.
The room came with free passes to noahs ark water park. You get free passes for everyday you stay at the hotel including check in date and check out date. The woman who answered the phone kindly informed us that although check in is at 3pm we can come earlier and pick up the waterpark bracelets and just check in later. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. The owner was a very nice man originally from Chicago.
The rooms: bed was a lil stiff, tv only one channel (but I was only there morning and night so meh) they had free WiFi so I just played a movie for kids on three laptop, great working fridge, microwave. The had a washer and dryer in a room near the pool, yes the furniture is old but who cares. I read some reviews that the rooms were small mine was good size. My room was room 16. There was a rollaway bed inside our room we could use. Great place. I would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The buildings are on the older side, washrooms a bit tight. But staff was very friendly, room was very clean, plenty of towels without even asking. It was a real plus to be able to park right outside your room door. Reminded me of nostalgic times in the Dells. If you want deluxe pillows and plush linens, then one of the big $$ hotels would be better, which we are sometimes in the mood for. But for a classic Dells stay, I’d say this is one of the best.

The best feature of Indian Trail Motel is its proximity to the strip in downtown Dells. And there’s a decent size pool, and free wifi. And it was the best deal I could find.
The perks end there. I always wondered what was wrong with people who complained about beds in hotels. Now I understand, because these beds were terrible! Also, there was a very loud, rowdy group in our hotel room next door. I knocked on the wall, they didn’t get it. Finally, I pounded on the wall and yelled «SHUT THE F* UP!» and, around 5:00 a.m., we were able to go to sleep.
Hmm, bathrooms were sort of dirty too. But this is an older motel, so what do you expect, granite countertops aren’t happening here.
So why the three stars? I loved the location, and honestly I would stay here again.

Cheap. Clean. Friendly. Great Location.
Free wifi, fridge, microwave, were three things I was not expecting at a ‘motel’ but all three came with my two night stay at a very reasonable rate in the Wis. Dells. If I’m back in the Dells I’ll be back here. Because it’s so close to downtown (walked there) I didn’t have time to use the indoor or outdoor pool or check out their nature trail. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean — the only thing I asked for was another pillow, and they were more than happy to provide it.
Nice place. And the discount cards for the attractions were great too!

Needed a cheap and clean place to stay during a weekend vaca in the Dells and Indian Trail Motel fit the bill. We knew we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time in the room so as long as it had a clean bathroom and bed we were sold. Indian Trail is right off the downtown area so it isn’t within walking distance to some of the major attractions that are on the parkway. The area was quiet though and was just a quick drive to everything. The room itself was clean although a tad outdated… I think that is expected in the Dells through. I’ve stayed at tons of places in the Dells throughout my life and this was by far one of the cleanest motels. There was an indoor pool/​hot tub, outdoor pool, ping pong tables, game room and walking trail. I also believe they have a bon fire for smores but we had already checked out so we weren’t able to participate. The room rate is also reasonably priced. You won’t get any water park vouchers like some places offer but they did give some sort of fun pass where you received certain discounts at participating restaurants/​shops.
