Although it’s a bit expensive, Grand Marquis has an amazing water park and pool. The room was spotless, no bugs or anything. I would recommend for children. I did get several minor scrapes from the slides, but nothing major. I would come again if I could. There’s also a lot of restaurants nearby the hotel, such as Ponderosa, Moosejaw, etc.

The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 is because the beds are atrocious. If you have young kids I HIGHLY recommend going here! The watermark is designed for smaller children in mind and we didn't have to worry at all with our littles! Staff were friendly and accommodating! Keep in mind it is a hotel designed for young kids so if you're looking for quiet it won't be here. But if you come in with the expectation of kids running around then you will have a lot of fun! The location is great for doing other things if you want to get out of the hotel as well. We stayed 2 nights and the price was well within reasonable. It was off season so probably cheaper than summer pricing but still much cheaper than a lot of places around the dells. We will return for a few years to come until our littles grow up!

We've stayed here twice now and enjoyed our visits both times. I see lots of complaints about the beds but I don't remember noting them being terrible...but I have young kids and I sleep horribly at hotels regardless of the bed so take that as you will. The small waterpark is fun but the floor is a little rough. If you kid falls there's a good chance they may scrape their knees and elbows. I like that there's a hot tub in the kid area for parents to sit in and still be able to see their kids playing. My kids however are just pool people and really enjoyed just the regular indoor pool. The kiddie pool was fun for my toddler. The rooms could use a little updating as far as decor but we would definitely come back again.

This place is exactly what you are looking for if you are a family with young children looking for the Waterpark experience but as adults are trying to relax as well. Someone did some serious thinking when they designed the Waterpark! The rooms are pretty standard hotel rooms. Nothing over the tip amazing but that's honestly great as a parent. They were clean and there were no surprises. Lobby was very helpful and clean. Coffee machine was simple and exactly what I needed. There are 2 main indoor pool areas on either side of the hotel. One was a Waterpark, made for younger kids but we had fun as adults going on the slides. It's best compared to a play ground but with a long hot tub that only seats on one side of the tub so all the adults have a view of the play ground and you can watch your kiddos as you relax. The other pool area has a very shallow pool for little kids and a large pool with slides more for swimming. It additionally has 2 hot tubs. We found this area had the perfect opportunity for the older kids and doing a little swimming. We visited in the winter so we didn't get to the outside pool area but it looked similar to the bigger kid/pool area. Overall wonderful time. Our kids are 3 and 5, it's hard to find something in the dells or elsewhere that caters so perfectly to this age group of independence and yet as a parent making sure that your child is safe and using equipment for their age. This was such a pleasant experience and we can't wait to make the trip back!

This hotel is just what we were looking for. Close to all the water parks. They have two pools, multiple hot tubs and a splash pad area. The pools have slides as well. We really enjoyed the pools with my teenagers.The workers are chill and super nice. Parking was close to the door by our room. Easy check in. Again, staff were very nice and helpful. The free noahs ark pass with stay was a great deal as well as the mt olympus 1 day pass. Great deal. Bedding was clean but the room overall could have used a little more cleaning. Nothing super disgusting, just dirty walls and such. The mini fridge and microwave made making meals easy. Quiet nights made for restful sleep. Beds weren't as bad as other reviews said. We will plan to be back next summer. Thanks again!

Beds and pillows were uncomfortable but overall we had a good experience here and would come back again! Only complaint is they don’t offer clean towels in the toddler pool area, you have to walk across the hotel to the other pool for a towel.

First time planning a trip as a first time mommy and Grand Marquis hotel did not disappoint. The indoor and outdoor pool choices are perfect. Also, a kids indoor water park for no sun exposure is amazing. My son and nephew had a blast. No complaints especially having the Waterpark in the same place you’re spending the night. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and guest rooms have 2 beds
