Stayed in Room 309 while in Waupaca for business. The hotel feels tired from the exterior to common spaces and rooms. The water park was closed for painting and maintenance so no clue how that area is. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom door and shower curtain rod compete for space, and the door doesn't open fully. Shower head has lots of calcium build up and could use a good cleaning. There is a fridge, microwave and ironing board in the room. Breakfast area had lots of carbohydrate options. There were some hard boiled eggs, but if you prefer a heartier breakfast you may want to pick up food and bring it back to your room. This area is popular with out of towners in the summer and I was surprised that there weren't more hotel choices. read more

Since when does a hotel remove the closet (and the hangers) and every dresser drawer? Two 3" hooks now count for a closet. And a few shelf bins for my foldable items. That's it! We had to ask for the two hangers they could muster, and were told at first they didn't hathem anymore. But the owner overheard and dug a few up from the basement. The fridge takes up much of the storage space. This is Waupaca, a big tourist destination for Chicagoans, who stay for weeks! What are these owners thinking? Oh, but they do offer one free dink in the bar each night. read more

Ramada by Wyndham Waupaca - No closet or drawers - Hotels Near Me - Waupaca, Wisconsin

Staff were super kind and quick. The room was really spacious and the mattress was comfortable but this place could use a serious cleaning and remodeling (outside of the rooms). The stairway was really dirty. Our comforter had some dark stains on it that we are gonna call red wine stains. There were multiple strands of someone's hair in the shower which also then proceeded to fill up quickly with standing water while waiting for the shower to warm up making it unavoidable. Free breakfast was eggs, donuts, waffles, Cheerios, but no other protein. So if you're needing a little more sustenance, plan on finding a place in town. read more

The Evergreen Quilt Guild held a retreat at this hotel in February and everyone had a great time. The owner did a wonderful job addressing some issues in the main work room for our 36 quilters. Kartik even went above and beyond by installing new wall sconce lighting to make it brighter. Thanks, Kartik! read more

My four-night stay in Room 222 at the Ramada by Wyndham Waupaca (110 Grand Seasons Dr., Waupaca, WI) was a complete disaster, costing me an outrageous $1,400 (averaging $350/night). The conditions were unsanitary, neglected, and far below what I expect from any hotel, let alone a Ramada. Here's what I endured: Filthy and Hazardous Conditions: The bathroom had bugs, spider webs, a revolting feces-like odor, and a disgusting showerhead. The bedroom smelled musky, making the room nearly unlivable. "Clean" washcloths were covered in hair, and no washcloths were provided with towel service, leaving me without essentials for showering. Non-Functional Amenities: The sink's water pressure was so low it was useless. The shower's diverter required holding for ages to work, and the low flow made showers frustrating and time-consuming. Noisy and Disruptive: The elevator's high-pitched whining and the bathroom fan's grinding noise were audible through Room 222's walls, disrupting sleep. Grossly Neglected Property: The hotel is run-down, outdated, and old in a gross way, with walls desperately needing paint. The exterior is unattractive and poorly maintained. Paint is a cheap fix that shows self-respect, but this place clearly doesn't care. Exorbitant Cost: Charging $1,400 for four nights during a car show is a rip-off for such deplorable conditions. Like any sane person, I wanted to request a new room but didn't for three reasons: (1) The hotel's appalling state made me doubt management would care or might even retaliate; (2) It was obviously full due to a car show in town; (3) After confirming my bed was free of bed bugs the first night, I feared a new room might not be as safe, given the neglect. That's how bad this place was--I stayed in a filthy room to avoid worse. This stay was so horrific that I'll never stay at a Ramada again. The health risks (bugs, spider webs, hairy washcloths, feces-like odor) and systemic neglect are unacceptable, especially for $1,400. I've reported this to the hotel, Wyndham corporate, and the Waupaca County Health Department. Avoid this hotel at all costs! read more

Very dirty hotel, beds uncomfortable, desk staff was cery rude and pool area was also very dirty. Very unfortunate experience would not recommend, very disappointed. read more

If I could select zero stars, I would. We called 2 weeks in advance to rent the "party room" off the pool for our child's birthday party. They confirmed our total attendees of 20 and our room reservation. When we arrived, the front desk employee didn't appear to have been informed of the party. The party room was inside the game room where there was one small round table and three chairs. We asked for more tables and chairs, they not only didn't offer to bring them in but didn't come to check in us. We were forced to find our way to a conference room filled with filth, random furniture covered in dirt and dust, and pulled tables and chairs by ourselves into the party room for the guests. The floor was covered in dirt and bugs, the kiddy pool was completely empty, the water slides are not in working order and were covered with towels adhered with clips. If the "common space" is in such poor repair, I cannot imagine the state of the individual rooms. We will never return, absolutely disgusting. read more

Pretty a-ok. I stayed here for one night with my sister for a large family event in the area. It isn't fancy, it is certainly dated, but it is clean enough and gets the job done. At check in, we each got a ticket for a free drink at the hotel bar later that night. Which was nice to enjoy while watching the Bucks game that night! Continental breakfast in the morning was fine. Overall, aggressively fine. Nothing stood out as exceptionally good or bad. It was alright and got the job done. read more

Love that they have open swim to the public for a small fee. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful. Bummer the slides aren't open due to lack of trained lifeguards in the area. Fun for a rainy day with the kids. We will be back for a weekend! read more

I stayed at this location many times when it was a Best Western, but I won't be staying again now that it's Ramada. During check-in I commented on the water slides, well, they're closed this year due to covid. Ok, understandable. And breakfast is in the checkout desk area. Literally in the cubby desk. It's "not worth it" to offer breakfast on Mondays. So we will get a banana and box of cold cereal. Ok, but I'm still paying the same price as a Saturday...Then the clincher, I asked about the computer/business office, since it was needed on Monday. The computer doesn't work. We could have stayed at the Econo Lodge for less and gotten more (since nothing here is open or working). Boo. I'll say though, the room air conditioner is super cold and quiet. read more

The only reason for a 2 is because the bed was very comfortable. They are doing all kinds of remodeling and changes. And what an inconvenience it is. One of the changes is the TV provider. The TV in the room only received 5 channels and 3 of them were in Spanish. I was told they needed to redo the TV and it never happened. Why would they even give us a room if the room isn't working properly! When we checked out, we make sure to get a copy of the bill. We were charged $15 more than what the bill stated. It is now going through the system to find out what or why, and get our money back. They need to coach the front desk on how to do ALL the work that is needed for their guests. Just don't do anything about a problem. read more

The entire hotel was very dirty. The front desk said it was because it as short staffed. We booked a suite that had. Jacuzzi in it. I had to clean the jacuzzi out before getting in it because it had grime and pubic hair. The second day I used it some kind of squishy yellow stuff came out of the jets. We were going to stay 5 nights but we left the next morning read more

Two of the rooms lights were non functioning, as were network TV cable channels... I didn't go there to watch tv. The room was air conditioned but ... was really dank, humid and dingy. I could see the housekeeper made attempts to vacuum, at check out. Reason I say that is that each time I took off my footwear and walked the 15 feet to the shower, the bottoms of my feet left black footprints on the tub floor! Ecch! I had reserved the room for three nights, left after two and let em have the rooms cost the last night. read more

We stayed at Ramada for the second year in a row while in town for a gymnastics meet. We happened to get snowed in while we were there and they were severely understaffed because of it. The front desk had the same worker working all weekend (Julie?) and she was really great despite being overworked and under-rested. She really went above and beyond helping the families and coaches who had all stayed there. It was a really chaotic situation for a lot of people and probably most chaotic for her having to deal with it all but she handled it like a champ. We will definitely be staying here again next year! read more

bad service, not clean, random marks on wall, bugs, holes in walls, marks on walls. overall just disgusting.

Here for family reunion. Overall had a positive experience. I wanted to make a special effort to compliment BRIAN our waiter at the Hotel's restaurant (Reflections Bar And Grill). We had a group of 20+ and he worked hard all evening - they were short handed and he was the only server on for the night. He also manages the bar in between our food orders. As for the kitchen...The wait for the fish fry was LONG (really long) but the outcome exceeded expectations - everyone had a great meal. Would have got 5 stars but only half of us got food from the kitchen at one time...the other half waited an additional 30 min to get food. Hotel pool got busy Friday night and through weekend but our Thursday night stay had a lot less people. If you are passing thru town it's still worth stopping in for a visit. PS - the hotel allows dogs, another bonus. read more

Needed a place to stay while visiting the lake in Waupaca. Hardly any rooms available, but we did find one here at the Ramada. The service is impeccable, swimming pool with waterslide, hot tub, and bar that's open till 12 AM. Swimming pool stays open till 1:30 AM. Full breakfast for with the room each morning. Free newspaper every morning. Rooms are clean, and bathrooms are spotless. Definitely will stay here each visit to Waupaca. Reasonable rates...military discount. read more

Front desk lady for evening was super rude Threaten to call the police for no apparent reason You're not being loud made my sister cry saying we couldn't swim when we were with a legal guardian after 11 PM threaten to surveillance our room threaten to surveillance room after 11 pm We proceeded to ask other people in the pool room if we were being loud and a nuisance they proceeded to say no we asked for 8 bath towels and gave us 2. Refused to let us speak to manager. read more

Popped tire on the luggage cart, very loud and squeaky air conditioner, no comforter on the bed, towels were not soft, pillows were hard. Not a great experience! read more

Recently stayed here while in town for a family member's service. I thought the hotel was very clean, front desk employees very helpful and friendly. I called to tell them that we would be checking in late due to the circumstances and the woman I spoke with was very understanding and put me down for late check in and told me not to worry. When we arrived around 10:30pm to check in, the woman I spoke with was leaving and a older gentleman was starting and the woman remembered me (wish I could remember her name) and greeted me and was very nice. The older gentleman checked us in and was also very pleasant. We received a complimentary drink ticket to use as the bar/restaurant that's in the hotel. I've never seen that at a hotel before and I was definitely excited about that. The room was just fine, although the fridge was broken. Bed was comfy, water pressure in the shower was perfect. Only thing I thought was a little strange is that instead of bottles of shampoo and lotion and bars of soap, they had dispensers in the shower and next to the sink for soap and lotion and shower gel dispenser in the shower. In theory this is smart because they save $$ on people stealing the little products they leave out, but the only problem was that the soap dispenser was nearly empty. They should make sure that every time the room is cleaned they fill the dispensers as well. Other thing I was impressed with was the pool/hot tub was open until 1:30am (weekend). I wish I brought my suit because after a long day, relaxing in a hot tub always sounds good. The continental breakfast was disgusting. Eggs tasted awful and the corned beef hash tasted and looked like canned dog food. Definitely not impressed with the food selection as there was no bacon or sausage and they had the French toast in the same container as the bread to put in the toaster. That's not how waffles and French toast should be served. All in all not a bad hotel. I would recommend going elsewhere for breakfast though. read more

I was one of the many quilters that stayed at the Ramada this week. The staff was so very gracious and friendly. They would do any thing we requested of them. There wasn't any thing that we asked that they didn't accommodate. Rooms had a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot with daily refills of supplies. Cleaning staff left a nice note wishing us a good day. We were given two meals a day which were included in our retreat fee. Our chef fed us delicious and nutritious meals and did use some of the left overs in a very creative way. Why in the world would you not want him to waste all that food. read more

We stayed at this hotel because it was the only option for the weekend we needed. The price was greatly increased (by $100) because of the lack of options. The room and hotel smells very smoky and gave us a headache. The room is very outdated, light fixtures were dirty, and the room was very dusty. We requested room service and were gone for 8-9 hours and came back with no room service. We were the only room in the entire hotel that didn't get room service that wanted it (hotel was sold out). Housekeeper had already punched out and not happy they had to punch back in to service our room. I would highly recommend not staying at this place. read more

The staff was amazing! They allowed my 8 year old brother to help check people in. The room was nice and clean. My only problem was the pool room not being handicap friendly (lift). Other than that the hotel was completely accommodating and beyond helpful. read more

The whole entire experience was horrific. Our niece had her wedding here. First of all, the first person we talked to said there was no wedding block and then told us that there was a two night minimum! Our niece's wedding was a big deal but not anything like a Packer game! We came to check in and after paying cash for our room prior to the wedding we were told there was no payment for the room! Went to the reception and tried going to the bar afterwards, it was closed at 11:00 pm. Went back to reception and the guests drove to a different place to drink! read more

Pretty standard hotel in terms of quality, but tons of amenities. Massages, awesome weight room, big pool with water slides, bar/restaurant. I wouldn't think twice if I was in bigger city, but for Waupaca, WI, this was great. Best part about it was I couldn't check in until 3, but I asked the manager what she could do and she got me in a room right away. Great service. read more

Hotel was very clean and hotel staff was friendly. I was in town for a car show and had a hard time finding a decent hotel. All the reviews I read of local hotels wasn't very good and I thought I would be staying in a dive. Since there was only one review for this hotel I wasn't sure what to expect. I took a gamble on this hotel for the ramada name itself. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and if I ever come up here again for the car show I will stay here. I hope this helps someone in the future. read more
