Awesome location and service!

Three of my friends and I planned a road trip to the Dells. We're all college students so we didn't have much money. We wanted to go Noah's Ark for sure and found the Flamingo Motel, but reviews on it were kind of bad, so we kept looking and found Monaco! We got a special ($99 for a 2 double and 4 Mt. Olympus passes) and bought Noah's Ark passes at a Kwik Trip ($25!! get them there!) and it only cost each of us $13 more than if we had stayed at the Flamingo without passes to Mt. Olympus.
MONACO IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO NOAH'S ARK!
It's between Flamingo and Noah's ark (so it's closer to Noah's Ark than Flamingo), so we just walked on over in our swim suits after we checked in. We only had to rent the $1 locker for a couple of hours while we waited for our room to be ready - then we didn't even need a locker. Also before we checked in, one of my friends forgot a towel, so we asked the guy at the desk if we could borrow one even though we hadn't checked in yet and no problem!
They were very friendly, and the girl who worked the desk even knew how to speak Polish!!
The pools (both indoor and outdoor) were fun. They have a hot tub and a sauna too! Everything was the right temperature - we could just jump into the outdoor pool and not have the chills.
We went right in the middle of July so it was busy season, but the pool wasn't crowded.
They also had a little playground for little kids, kiddy slides for the pools, and diving boards for anyone older.
The room itself was very clean, and the beds comfortable. We were also on the first floor so we could open our patio window and just walk outside, which was kind of creepy at first, but it locks and there are thick curtains over it. Just remember to lock it when you are leaving the room!
The only semi-bad things? The indoor pool/hottub/sauna/gameroom closes around 10 or 11pm, and the cleaning maids came to our room before check out time (but of course, we told them of our check out time and they left us so we could finish packing). Also, I didn't think Mt. Olympus was really worth the $13 extra I paid, but the room definitely was!
Overall, I absolutely loved Monaco, and I will DEFINITELY stay there again when I go back to the Dells!
