This isn't one of those corporate-speak reviews – this is the unfiltered tale of my recent stay, complete with awkward moments, existential dread, and the desperate search for a decent cup of coffee.

- Title: Lake Geneva Getaway: Baymont by Wyndham Delavan's Unbeatable Deals? (My Brutally Honest Review! - With all that, I am already feeling a bit overwhelmed, let's get to the review.
First Impressions & Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Mostly Good!)
Right off the bat, the accessibility thing is a definite plus. They clearly put some thought into it. Wheelchair accessible is a biggie, obviously, and from what I saw, they've followed through. Elevator? Yes! Crucial. The exterior corridor setup is standard for a hotel like this, but at least it's not the kind where you're walking for miles through a maze. Parking: They have free parking and plenty of spots, which is a godsend, especially in a tourist area.
Now, for a personal anecdote. My Aunt Mildred came with us (bless her heart, she’s got mobility issues). Finding a room with a shower instead of a tub was a priority, and they actually had one that was easily accessible. Big win! This made her trip way easier and in turn I got to relax more.
Rooms: Comfy Enough, But…
The room itself was… adequate. Let's just say it wasn’t exactly the Ritz. It was, however, clean, which is more than I can say about some hotels I've stayed in! The daily housekeeping was a welcome touch, especially with a small child running amok. Air conditioning? Praise be! Essential in the Wisconsin summer. Free Wi-Fi in the room (and the whole place, really) was a lifesaver. Internet access – lan wasn't something I really wanted or needed, but I'm sure some business people are happy. The bed was comfortable enough, though it did swallow me up once or twice. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for those early morning wake-up calls from the toddler. And there was a mini-fridge, which is basically a requirement for keeping snacks cold. No proposal spot, darn, I was hoping to pop the question there.
The Pool: Where Memories Are Made (Well…Sort Of)
The indoor swimming pool was definitely the highlight for the kids. It wasn't a pool with a view, but it was warm, clean(ish), and provided hours of entertainment. There's a poolside bar, but, in all honesty, it appeared to be more theoretical than actually serving drinks. The kids loved it, so that's all that matters, right?
Things to Do (Beyond the Pool): Less Than Staggering
Okay, let's be honest. Delavan isn't exactly bursting with excitement. And the hotel itself does have a fitness center, a sauna, and a spa. For those who want to use the sauna, you can, the spa is great for couples, I actually enjoyed it a lot. I saw some people enjoying the steamroom as well. The jacuzzi might be a nice add-on when you want to relax and spend your time with your partner.
Dining: Breakfast – The Great Unknown… and the Bar (or lack thereof)
So, the breakfast [buffet]. Here's where things get a little… dicey. It was the standard continental fare: toast, muffins, sad-looking fruit, and a questionable scrambled egg situation. They also have some Asian breakfast, but I was too afraid to try it. The Breakfast takeaway service is a great option, I got a few stuff and walked outside. I wouldn't say that it's the best experience, especially when you actually compare it to the best restaurants, but, for having an overall bad experience, is good enough to start your day.
Now, about that bar. As mentioned before, the bar seemed more like a ghost of a bar. I think I saw a sign once, but no actual booze. Big letdown. It's nice to have coffee shop and tea, though. The Happy hour is only a dream.
Cleanliness & Safety: Generally Reassuring
With the recent health concerns, cleanliness and safety are paramount. I was relieved to see evidence of precautions. They use anti-viral cleaning products, there's hand sanitizer everywhere, the staff seemed genuinely committed to hygiene certification. They seemed to be doing their best with room sanitization between stays. Daily disinfection in common areas was good to see. I appreciated the safe dining setup and the fact that they were trying to be as careful as possible. They have smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, and security [24-hour], which is always a plus.
Services & Conveniences: The Essentials, Plus Some Extras
They offer the usual laundry service, dry cleaning, and ironing service. The concierge was helpful. However, there are no cash withdrawal options.
For the Kids: A Mixed Bag, Actually
The family/child friendly atmosphere is a clear selling point. The pool is a huge win. However, there are no great babysitting service. There isn't a dedicated kids meal, this is a shame.
The Verdict: Worth the Deals?
So, are the "Unbeatable Deals" actually…deal-worthy? Honestly? Yeah, probably. It’s not a luxury experience, for sure. But if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and accessible hotel in a decent location at a reasonable price, the Baymont Delavan is worth considering. Just don't expect gourmet dining or a wild nightlife. Pack your own booze, lower your expectations for the breakfast, and embrace a good time.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly Instagrammed travel itinerary. This is real life. Get ready for my Delavan, Wisconsin adventure at the Baymont by Wyndham, near Lake Geneva. Hold on tight, because this is gonna be a bumpy ride.
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for the Elusive Pool (and Basic Human Functioning)
- 1:00 PM - Arrive at Baymont, Delavan: Okay, so the drive. Three hours, which, in theory, is fine. In practice, with a toddler who apparently thinks asking "are we there yet?" every 30 seconds qualifies as a legitimate conversation, it felt like three millennia. Found the hotel, which looked… well, it looked like a Baymont. Not the Ritz, you know? But clean enough. And the air conditioning. Sweet, sweet, blessed air conditioning. I swear, I could feel my blood cooling down as I walked through the door.
- 1:30 PM - Check-In and Room Debacle: Check-in itself was a breeze. The lady at the desk was nice, which, in this heat, is a small miracle. The room, however… let’s just say it’s the kind of room that makes you wonder if you’ve accidentally booked a room at a particularly aggressive Motel 6. But hey, it had beds. And I was beyond caring, as long as it was clean. The first order of business? Finding the pool. I'd imagined myself lounging, sipping something fruity, blissfully ignoring the chaos that is my life. Reality? The pool totally looked closed. The kids (I have two!) were already screaming for a swim. "It's probably a maintenance thing," I told myself, forcing a smile that probably looked more like a grimace. "We'll go check it out."
- 2:00 PM - The Pool Saga (Round 1): The pool was VERY much open. My kids were screaming: "We need our swim. Why aren't we in the pool?" So we settled for the kiddie pool, which was, let's be honest, a glorified puddle. The kids were stoked, I was just relieved to sit down.
- 3:30 PM - Snack Time and Regrouping: After the Great Pool Adventure of 2024, and with the kids now smelling like chlorine and despair, a snack was in order. We raided the mini-mart across the road from the hotel – this is what vacations are all about, right? Junk food and high-fructose corn syrup? We're keeping it real.
- 5:00 PM - Dinner at… Somewhere: I wanted fancy, but reality dictated something quick, easy, and with a kid-friendly menu. Ended up at some place that served burgers and fries. Let’s just say it wasn’t Michelin-star quality, but it did the job. The kids ate, I ate, nobody threw food across the table. Victory!
- 7:00 PM - Attempted Evening Relaxation (Spoiler Alert: Failed): The best-laid plans of mice and moms, right? I envisioned a quiet evening with a book, maybe a glass of wine, while the kids were happily occupied. Hah. Instead, it was a constant stream of "Mom, I'm bored!" followed by frantic attempts to keep the peace while simultaneously trying to hide the fact that I was also bored.
- 9:00 PM - Lights Out (Finally!): The holy grail of any parent’s day. Kids, exhausted from the pool and the general absurdity of life, finally crashed. I poured myself a glass of whatever wine was left over, and prayed for a decent night's sleep.
Day 2: Lake Geneva or Bust! (Plus, a Side of Mild Anxiety)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast Buffet or… Avoidance? The hotel had a "complimentary breakfast." I’m not expecting anything amazing, but I'm also not ready to completely avoid food. I steel myself, walk toward the breakfast area. (I got there at 8:30)
- 9:00 AM - Lake Geneva Bound: Okay, this is what I came for! Driving to Lake Geneva was a pretty straightforward trip, beautiful scenery, and all that. Except… I made a wrong turn. Twice. My sense of direction is legendary for its absolute lack of… direction.
- 10:00 AM - Lake Geneva's Charm (and the Price of Said Charm): Lake Geneva IS gorgeous. Seriously, breathtaking. The water's sparkling, the houses are ridiculously huge, and everything feels… expensive. We strolled along the shore path, taking in the views. The kids immediately started asking for ice cream. Of course.
- 11:30 AM - Lunch and Accidental Tourist Trappery: We stumbled upon a restaurant on the lake. Cute place, overpriced tourist fare. I ordered a salad that cost more than my first car. The kids, of course, demolished their meals and then, with the speed of a cheetah on caffeine, turned to: "Mom, can we go to that shop?" That shop? The one with all the things that cost lots of money?
- 1:00 PM - Ice Cream and the Slow Drip of Bank Account Depletion: As if the aforementioned tourist trap wasn't enough, ice cream was a must. It was hot, the kids were whiny, and ice cream was the only thing that could possibly save us from disaster. Okay, two scoops, maybe three… each. At this rate, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a second mortgage.
- 2:00 PM - Lake Geneva Boat Tour (or at least, the idea of a boat tour): Since we’re here, why not? I'd envisioned us, breezy and glamorous, taking in the views on a majestic boat. The reality? Trying to wrangle two children onto a boat while simultaneously keeping them from falling overboard and reminding myself that I can't swim. Mild panic. But the boat tour was… incredible. The houses were even more ridiculous (I swear there was a castle!), the lake was beautiful, and, surprisingly, the kids actually behaved (mostly).
- 4:00 PM - Back to Delavan, and the Pool Fiasco Strikes Again: I thought the pool was closed. A very long day of lake time, and the kids are tired. I'm tired. But, of course, they wanted to take another swim.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and a Deep Dive Into the Hotel's Wifi: The Wi-Fi at the Baymont is… well, let’s just say it's a metaphor for the entire experience: Functional, but not always reliable. Managed to order pizza. Pizza is the ultimate vacation food, right?
- 9:00 PM - Bedtime Blues (Part Two): Another night, another struggle. Finally, merciful sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the Unspoken Promise to Do It All Again (Probably)
- 8:00 AM - The End of the Complimentary Breakfast (Hallelujah): I ate some fruit, some weirdly rubbery eggs, and drank a cup of coffee that tasted suspiciously like brown water.
- 8:30 AM - Packing and Panic: Packing with kids. It's like trying to herd cats while simultaneously defusing a bomb. Clothes everywhere, toys under the beds, and the nagging feeling that you've forgotten something vital.
- 9:30 AM - The Final Check-Out: The lady at the desk was very nice. "Did you enjoy your stay?" she asked. I gave her what I hoped was a believable smile and said, "Yes!"
- 10:00 AM - The Farewell Drive: The drive home. This time, the kids took a nap. That's the dream right.
- 1:00 PM - Home Sweet (and Chaotic) Home: Unpacking, laundry, the general post-vacation mess. And, already, a slight pang of… okay, maybe a lot of nostalgia for the chaos.
- 1:30 PM - The Review (The Raw, Unfiltered Truth): Baymont by Wyndham Delavan: It was okay. Lake Geneva? Stunning. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Because even with the chaos, the questionable food, and the near-constant state of mild panic, it was… an adventure. And sometimes, that's all you need.
