Coupons for Discounted Stays at The Wilderness

Dells Advice — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:46:00 +0000

The MilwaukeeMoms.com website has a coupon available for discounted stays at the Wilderness Hotel in Wisconsin Dells. The coupon is for $20 off a one night stay or $50 off a two night stay. The discount is being offered as a part of their Spring Break Specials promotion, although you can take advantage of the discount long after Spring Break is over. The coupon is valid for stays through June 10, 2009. The coupon doesn’t list any restrictions, other than “the discount is not valid with any other offer”. There are no blackout dates, and you can use the coupon on weekends.

The Wilderness has rooms available this spring for as little as $99 a night. A 2 night stay could end up only costing $75 a night when booked with the coupon. That is an excellent deal considering that $99 a night is as low of a rate as you’ll usually see at the Wilderness.

Kalahari Spring Break Specials

Dells Advice — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:33:31 +0000

Last week I wrote about a great Spring Break special that Hotel Rome at Mt. Olympus is offering over the next month or so, where you pay for two nights and stay for three. Kalahari has responded with their own Spring Break pay for two nights, stay for three promotion. Kalahari’s offer is more restrictive than Hotel Rome’s, with limited dates available. It is being offered for three night stays March 29th – 31st and April 5th – 7th. For Desert, Hut or Lodge styled rooms, the price is $399 for 3 nights. Other larger room styles are also available, at additional cost.

If you think you might want to take advantage of the Kalahari offer, you have until noon on Friday, March 20th to make your reservation. This deal is being offered as a Beat the Clock special. Take a look at the Kalahari specials website for details. The clock will stop counting down at noon tomorrow, and then the deal will be over. Reservations can also be made by calling the Wisconsin Dells Kalahari at 877-525-2427 and referring to promotion code BEATB2G1.

Spring Break in the Dells

Dells Advice — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:33:56 +0000

For families with kids in school, Spring Break is right around the corner. For those who want to save a little money this year, yet still go somewhere during the time off from school, the Wisconsin Dells can be a good fit. Although the prices during the weeks around Easter are a little higher, you’ll still save plenty of money by not going on a “big” vacation to somewhere warm. I have taken a look at what specials the resort hotels are offering during the mid week stays for late March and early April (the weeks surrounding Easter) and have summarized the promotions and packages below.

Chula Vista

Week of 3/29 – standard rooms from $149
Week of 4/5 – standard rooms from $139

Chula Vista also is offering a couple of Spring Break packages that are worth looking into. The Family Fun Package is $159 a night (2 night mid week stay required), and includes a large pizza, $25 dining certificate, and 100 arcade tokens. The Spring Party Package is $199 a night (2 night mid week stay required), and includes a stay in a 2 bedroom condo, large pizza, $30 dining certificate, 2 games of bowling, 2 orders of chicken wings & a 6 pack of soda. Details on these packages can be found on the Chula Vista specials page. Reservations can be made here.

Great Wolf Lodge

Week of 3/29 – standard rooms from $199
