My husband and I stayed at the Black Hawk for 2 nights while in the Dells. We booked hotel based on tripadvisor reviews and were a bit disappointed. This motel does not reflect the #1 or #2 ranking out of all of the places in the Dells. It is a basic motel that is outdated. We would not stay here again and would pay a bit more for a nicer room.

Pros- Cheap rate. Quiet room.

Cons- Strong musty smell. Damp, dirty carpet.

This hotel is ok in terms of location, cleanliness and value. The people who work at the front desk are very nice and helpful. I'd think twice about going to the Dells in the first place, though. It's hayday was clearly 1978, and there hasn't been one upgrade in the whole town since. You can easily tell each establishment is desperate for your money, and customer service is not valued. If you're looking for a quality family destination, keep looking. The Dells is not going to give you a decent getaway with quality people.

Was not able to get a room at the Chula Vista, so did some research,,,, BH did not disappoint,, we just stayed one night,,, it was exceptionally clean,, nice fluffy towels,, TV with DVD player (bring your kid's movies),, indoor and outdoor pool ,, very clean,,, small play area for the kiddies,, plentiful ice
For this class motel,, excellent,, we paid about $60 for room with two queen beds.

Stay here then get some discount coupons for the big resorts, come back here at the end of the day,, chill out by the pool,, the kids can keep going,going,,

I booked 3 nights at this motel after reading the reviews on this site.

All the positive comments I read were true-- clean room, safe, and it has a great pool with a diving board and slide.

We purchased 3 tickets for Mt. Olympus from the front desk for $22 each and then bought an observer's pass for my wife who doesn't go on any rides for $8 at the park.
