Detailed Reviews
The room and the whole hotel were clean and very well kept. Our view was delightful and sunrises are beautiful. The air conditioning unit is in the living room and doesn't really get around the corner to the bedroom. Fortunately, the Pointe provides a fan and we had a long extension cord with us to move the cool air to the bedroom. The location is great as it is about as close to everything that you would want and do not hear traffic noise or see any traffic at all. The grab-n-go breakfast had waffles and juice and encouraged you to take the food to your room (post covid) and provided trays to carry that back to your room. The room and kitchen had everything we needed for a long weekend of relaxation.

First time staying here during our annual Minocqua family get-away and we will definitely be staying here in future years. Airbnb rentals have gotten stupid expensive so we have gone back to hotel stays and this place is reasonably priced for the size, comfort, and convenient location. We didn't have time to enjoy the amenities like outdoor grills or fire pit, but appreciate they have them and the views over the lake were all excellent. Thanks again for a great stay!

Sally, Jen, and the desk team treated us like we were their only customer, even during the phone reservation process. The breakfast setup was designed to be as contact free as possible. Overall the sanitation and attention to safety was excellent, and made us, as cautious travelers, feel much safer. Location is great, grounds well kept, and the rooms were stocked so that we wouldn't need daily cleaning. Very well thought out safety plan. We are repeat visitors and will return again. The only tiny suggestion: Provide wipes near the waffle area, as that is just about the only shared contact area in the breakfast setup.

Dear Dave, Thank you for the nice review. I am happy to know that your stay met your needs and you did feel safe in our environment. COVID-19 sure has changed up the way all businesses addres the safety and health of the consumer and we took this very seriously in March 2020 and have not let our guard down ever since. As for the sanitary wipes in the breakfast are, we do have them on a separate table where people can sanitize their hands upon entering and exiting the breakfast area. Thanks again for being our guest. we look forward to hosting your future stays in Minocqua.

We make a trip up to stay her a few times every year. While we enjoy the location and some of the amenities the service has completely gone down hill our last two stays. We were the only people in the hotel and were told we couldn’t get a late checkout for even an hour, even though we offered to pay extra. I would completely understand during busy season but being that we were the only ones in the hotel it didn’t make much sense to me. There also aren’t any do not disturb signs so we were awaken by housekeeping before 9 am and checkout wasn’t for another two hours. The women at the front desk was completely rude and with the lack of updates, for example the shower floor peeling in our room, to the overall hotel, I would think they would treat their customers with more dignity since there are other hotels on the area.

Thank you for visiting the Pointe in Minocqua. We apologize that we were unable to accommodate your request for a late check out. We had quite a few rooms coming in that evening and that specific room type was booked as we only have four of that room type. Our housekeeping standard is that we do not knock on doors prior to the check out time, unfortunately another guest could have knocked on your door. We will keep your comments regarding upgrades in mind for future consideration.

Basic but good location. Walkable to town and restaurants. View of the lake. Basic hotel but clean and suite-like rooms. ‘Breakfast included’ was prepackaged muffins and waffle maker (if I remember correctly). No place to sit for breakfast so each room has a tray to enable you to bring your breakfast back to your room.

We spent 3 nights at The Pointe in early May 2021 and stayed in a 1 bedroom suite on the lower level (#1006). When I opened the door the first time the only word that came to mind was WOW! The view of the lake was beautiful. The unit was tastefully decorated; furniture was not worn at all; sofa and wing chairs were comfortable. Everything worked in the kitchen and bath. There are 2 bathroom sinks which is nice for a couple accustomed to his/her own sink. The bed was comfortable with an awesome view of the lake through a sliding glass door. Adirondack chairs outside along with a BBQ grill and picnic table complete the experience nicely. And yes, everything was impeccably clean. Staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. A great deal of care and careful planning is evident throughout. We've stayed in other awesome accommodations over the years but this is one of the most memorable.

The people running this hotel are some of the friendliest, most considerate, hard-working people I've ever had the pleasure of staying with. Our stay was excellent, and they are the reason why.
Three examples:
1) COVID has made hotel breakfasts hard. Many hotels just gave up, breakfast is a loss leader and COVID is easy to blame. Not The Pointe. They redid their breakfast policy, focusing on single-serve everything, and they do their best to keep it stocked and ready for guests.
2) We rented a boat from an online agency that "cannot provide life jackets". With three young kids, jackets are a must. I knew The Pointe rents kayaks, so I asked pretty-please if we could borrow a few, and the answer was "yes, of course, we want you to be safe".
3) Our room overlooked the hotel grills. Every day, I saw one of the staff members head out there with a brush, a bucket, and a rag, and totally disassemble, clean, and rebuild any grill that had been used. The grills were spotless.
My only drawback to this hotel : US51 is a very busy street, and the walk over the bridge is kind of long and stressful as a result. Maybe someone should start a water taxi business :)

The staff was phenomenal! The room was very clean, and the layout was outstanding. The view from the deck and the windows overlooked Lake Minocqua and trees brilliantly glowing with fall color. What a lovely "home base" for our adventuring to waterfalls and hiking trails! In the interest of keeping up with maintenance, the parking lot was being torn up and redone. The staff totally stepped up and took extra care so the guests had minimal inconvenience, which we found very comforting. Our two-night fall getaway was absolutely five-star perfect!

I spent hours researching places to stay in the Minocqua area, and we were not disappointed with our choice to stay here. The property was meticulously cared for, the staff was professional and pleasant, and the room was clean and nicer than we expected. When our a/c unit didn’t turn on, the staff immediately found us a different room and they were apologetic even though it was not their fault. The next day the general manager “Buck” also apologized for our inconvenience, and we found him to be one of those rare genuinely nice people who are extremely good at their job and really care about others. He’s been in the business for over 30 years, and it shows.
Most places that I stay at don’t blow my socks off and most get a “meh” reaction from me. This place is nice, clean, quiet, the location is perfect, the pool and whirlpool are epic, there’s a great view of the sunset from the balconies, the rates are more than fair, and it’s run by one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met in this industry. Just do it, you won’t regret staying here. I’ll certainly be back!

We stayed here twice during Covid 2020 and felt safe as staff and guests wore masks. The hotel is layed out well
with many exits so you do not congregate with many people even when the facility is full. Cleaning staff were busy cleaning common surfaces such as doors, elevators etc. The place was extremely well maintained and
we have stayed there many times over the years. It was a large plus to have cooking facilities and dining table
In our room with Covid. We had a great vacation and booked again for next year.

The rooms have 10 cup drip coffee makers.
My husband and I have had no issues with the wifi on multiple trips to the Pointe.
Unfortunately, they do not accept pets.
I don't know. But I would think if you contact them directly that they'd be able to tell you.
The workout room is dismal. I don't know if the pool has a lifeguard.
The breakfast looked nice and if I were with a family I would have had it but I like a made to order breakfast and not a buffet so we went out to eat. However, they had waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, burritos and all sorts of other good looking items.
