Hi J.
I was at the Dells once and stayed at a resort called Meadowbrook. Their website is www.meadowbrookresort.com , at the time my son was 3 or 4 years old. There are several choices for accomodations, we stayed in the lodge in a bunk house suite that included a kiddie cabin, an area blocked off for the kids that resembled a cabin. It had a kitchenette. The room was large, I had a patio and out my patio was a pool.
This particular location is off the beaten path, not in the downtown area. It isn't very fancy, and I am going to guess it is on the lower end of the spectrum for price. What I liked about at the time is that their pool was a good choice for the little ones, no big water slide, larger sized wading pool for the kids. I didn't mind being away from the hub bub. I think the Dells are rather touristy, I guess it depends on what you prefer.
In essence I think this location is an economical choice and good for little kids. If you prefer something more showy I wouldn't go here.
