Meh
Not terrible, but not good either. Tired flat pillows, bed sheets smelled a little old, almost no options in continental breakfast for those that cannot eat wheat, flat coffee ran out quickly, and the smoke detector in our room was removed.

Hotel.com is a scam
Hotels.com screwed us over. Hey didn’t actually make a reservation. AmeriVu in shell lake does not have a contract with hotel.com so even though we had paperwork for our reservation, there was no room booked for us. What a scam. Luckily the hotel could squeeze us in otherwise we were sleeping out in the cold.

We booked this room for the amenities included however to pool and hot tub were closed, lounge is closed and no continental breakfast. Should've done my research better as it seems the pool has been closed since 2019 and they keep telling people its "closed for maintenance". Could've stayed somewhere else for 1/2 the cost if we had known, but it wasn't advertised anywhere. Expedia was helpful when I called for a refund - they called the hotel and were denied a refund stating they "upgraded our room for the inconvenience" which is not true at all. After reading more reviews it looks like many people have had similar experiences.

Ehh
The person checking us in was professional and upped us from a queen to king sized bed, which was a kind gesture. The room was generally clean, though there was a stain of unknown origin on the shower curtain and some seemingly post-wash stains on the sheets. The matress and pillows were not the most comfortable, but adequate for the night. The included breakfast was minimal. While we did not go for the pool for this stay as our kids were not with, it should be noted that neither the pool or hot tub were in working order despite it being promoted on this site as having those ammenities. I believe we were the only ones staying in the hotel. We paid $120 for one winter night, and it did feel overpriced for what the facilities were.

Left after four hours.
The hotel was freezing and it smelled so strong of curry that it made me nauseous. They lady tried to switch me to a different room but I told her that I wanted the one I reserved online. The pool and hot tub were drained and out of order. The temp couldn’t have been above 50 degrees and the heater in my room wad on high for four hours and couldn’t heat up my room. I gave up and left.

Disliked: Amenities
When we arrived there was nobody at the front desk. Had to get a second room. First room had a broken toilet seat and the smoke detector kept chirping. When we got in the second room, there were no towels or pillows. The wallpaper border was ripped and windows were very dirty. Neither the swimming pool or the bar were open. Breakfast was very poor. Would not recommend the hotel.

We were very disappointed that the hot tub was “broken” it was one of the reasons we stayed there.. I personally think he just shut the pool are down because it was the off season.. The ice machine was unplugged as well..Staff was nice enough but overall the hotel could use some love!
