Detailed Reviews: 5 Tomah Hotels with Indoor Pools
1. Cranberry Country Lodge
The Vibe
This lodge is a repeat-guest magnet — the data shows more return visitors than most properties in Tomah. With an 8.4 overall and a 9.1 location score, it’s the solid all-rounder. Guests call the pool “awesome” and the breakfast “delicious,” which is exactly what you want after a soggy swim.
What You Actually Get
The indoor pool is exclusive to in-house guests — no outside swimmers crowding the water. Free private parking and strong WiFi (9.0) make check-in stress-free. The on-site restaurant serves American and buffet options, so you don’t need to drive for dinner. Kids 18+ are charged as adults, so families with teenagers should double-check pricing. No pets allowed here. The bar and BBQ area add social value that standalone hotels often miss.
Choose this if: You want a full-service stay with pool, bar, and breakfast under one roof without leaving the property.
2. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Sparta, WI
The Vibe
The most affordable pick on this list — and the only one where the pool stays open from 6 AM to midnight. The 7.2 overall rating is modest, but the indoor pool is confirmed operational for hotel guests. Location scores at 8.3, making it a strategic stop for Sparta access.
What You Actually Get
WiFi here scores just 5.8 — noticeably lower than the rest, so plan for iffy streaming. The hotel accepts pets (charges apply), which sets it apart from Cranberry and Holiday Inn. Note: there’s no elevator, so request a ground-floor room if stairs are an issue. The continental breakfast is included, and free parking keeps costs low. Adjoining rooms are available if you need more space — the front desk confirmed suites can’t fit 4 adults and a child together.
Choose this if: You’re on a tight budget and need pet-friendly indoor pool access in the Sparta area.

3. Best Western Tomah Hotel
The Vibe
Staff scores at 8.9 — the highest of any property here — with guests describing them as “excellent, very understanding, and very respectful.” The indoor pool and BBQ facilities make it a solid mid-range pick. Cleanliness sits at 8.5, and comfort at 8.6, so you’re getting a consistently good stay without the premium price.
What You Actually Get
Pets are allowed on request with a $30 fee covering up to two dogs, and there’s a dedicated enclosed pet run — a rare amenity for hotels with indoor pool in Wisconsin Dells that also take animals. Breakfast costs $11 extra (optional), and the on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner too. Every room comes with a bathtub except the roll-in shower accessible room — so if you want a soak, you’re covered. Groups booking 9+ rooms face different policies, so call ahead.
Choose this if: You’re traveling with dogs and want an indoor pool plus staff who actually go above and beyond.
4. Holiday Inn Express & Suites – Tomah by IHG
The Vibe
This is the crown jewel of the Tomah pool scene — 9.3 overall, 9.6 for both facilities and cleanliness, and 9.6 for comfort. Guests rave about the pool and hot tub combo after long travel days, calling the breakfast “one of the best” they’ve had. It’s the highest-rated property in this guide for a reason.
What You Actually Get
The indoor swimming pool is backed by a kitchen in your room — making this the only property with in-suite cooking capability. Free on-site parking and very good breakfast (served 6:30-9:30 AM daily) are included. The cleanliness score of 9.6 is matched only by the comfort score at 9.6, meaning the rooms are both spotless and cozy. No pets allowed. Check-in starts at 4 PM, an hour later than the others, so plan arrival accordingly. Non-smoking throughout.
Choose this if: You want the absolute highest-rated indoor pool hotel with kitchen access for extended stays.

5. Hampton Inn Tomah
The Vibe
With a 9.8 comfort score — the highest single category score in this entire guide — and a 9.7 cleanliness rating, the Hampton Inn is the place for a pristine, pet-friendly pool stay. Guests describe the rooms as “perfect” and staff as “exceptionally helpful.” It’s a quieter, 50-review sample, but every metric screams quality.
What You Actually Get
The indoor pool is available to all guests, and free breakfast is included. Pets are allowed (charges apply), and the hotel has no age restriction for check-in — rare for this area. WiFi hits 9.2, so remote workers can actually connect. Location at 9.7 puts you right near the interstate and local dining. Note: booking through third-party sites forfeits Hilton Honors points, so book direct if loyalty matters. Military and healthcare worker discounts are available (5% off military rate).
Choose this if: Comfort and cleanliness are your top priorities, and you need pet-friendly indoor pool access.
