Escape to Paradise: Waupaca's Premier Comfort Suites at Par 4 Resort!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Escape to Paradise: Waupaca's Premier Comfort Suites at Par 4 Resort! and trust me, after this, you'll feel like you've already checked in! (And maybe you will, hint hint). This ain't your cookie-cutter hotel review; this is the raw, unfiltered truth, seasoned with a healthy dose of sarcasm and a sprinkle of genuine awe. Let's DO this!
First Impressions: The (Mostly) Smooth Landing
Okay, so I'm a sucker for a good escape. And "Escape to Paradise" already sounds promising, right? The accessibility at Par 4 Resort is clearly trying. They've got elevator access (thank GOD, I'd be huffing and puffing), and seem genuinely committed to facilities for disabled guests. I didn't need any, thanks to my perfectly functioning (mostly) legs, but seeing that they're trying is always a win in my book. No one wants to feel like an afterthought, you know? Check-in was remarkably… contactless. Which, frankly, is awesome. No waiting in line, no awkward small talk, just wham bam, key card in hand! The 24-hour front desk gives you that comfy security blanket feeling.
The Rooms: A Sanctuary… With (Minor) Quirks
Alright, let's talk about the heart of the matter: the room. My eyes practically bulged when I saw the extra-long bed . I’m a tall person, so finally, a bed that actually fits the bill! It was spacious, comfortable and made me want to fall out immediately. Speaking of comfy, hello bathrobes and slippers! It’s the little things, people, it’s the little things. The air conditioning blasted beautifully, as it should. I cranked it up because, why not? It was a total bliss.
Now, a few minor speed bumps. I'm not a huge fan of carpeting, it does sometimes feel a bit… icky. It's probably fine, but I just have the mental image of all the previous guests' footfalls and, shudder. And the window that opens? Fantastic. The blackout curtains? Also fantastic. They had a laptop workspace, but the lighting was dodgy. And, let's be honest, the coffee/tea maker? It did its job, but let's just say starbucks is still safe.
But hey, the high floor views were pretty sweet, and I didn't have any problems with noise – the soundproofing was surprisingly effective. The Wi-Fi [free]? Worked like a charm, even in my dungeon! The Internet access – wireless was also seamless. Overall, thumbs up for the rooms—a comfortable basecamp for escaping.
Amenities & Activities: Paradise Found? (Mostly)
This is where Par 4 Resort REALLY tries to shine. Let's start with the good stuff. They've clearly invested in a fitness center. I did manage to drag my lazy behind down there a couple of times. It had the basics, and more importantly, the equipment seemed clean! Major win. But the true star of the show? The swimming pool [outdoor] with that pool with view. Stunning. I’m not a pool person, but even I was tempted. And the jacuzzi? Even better.
Now, about the Spa. They advertise a spa, sauna, and steamroom. They have a fitness center and massage on offer. So, on paper, this place should be a relaxing paradise, right? Okay, so they have a massage on offer. I didn't get one. (I'm too cheap, and, let's be real, I'm probably too awkward to truly relax during a massage). Maybe next time, I'll try it out and write a separate review. The possibilities they offered were impressive!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Escape
Okay, food. This is a BIG deal, people. The hotel has restaurants, a poolside bar, and the inevitable snack bar. They offer breakfast [buffet], Western breakfast, Asian breakfast, and the option of room service [24-hour]. A decent spread, but I wasn't blown away. The coffee/tea in restaurant was actually pretty good.
The Happy hour, though, was a total win! Drinks were reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was lively. I can't remember what I drank, but I remember it was a delight. And let's be honest, aren’t cocktails on vacation essential?
I didn’t try the Asian cuisine in restaurant. Next time, I will!. I also noticed the alternative meal arrangement, and vegetarian restaurant, which is great to have options. Having things like a bottle of water and a coffee shop are good too. However, there was no desserts in restaurant.
Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitize Me, Please!
Let's be honest, in this day and age, clean is king. Par 4 does a pretty fantastic job. They're clearly taking things seriously. The Daily disinfection in common areas, Anti-viral cleaning products, Hand sanitizer, and Staff trained in safety protocol are all reassuring. I didn't see any Rooms sanitized between stays, but I did see a doctor/nurse on call sign, which is good. They had First aid kit, and CCTV in common areas. They didn't take any chances.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They offer tons of things. From Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Car park [free of charge], and the Concierge. They seem to have thought of everything. They also have a Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, and Elevator. They offer all sorts of things in the name of convenience. As a bonus, they also had Facilities for disabled guests.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun?
They have a Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal. Not my scene, but it's good to know they're catering to families.
Getting Around: Wheels, Wings, and Everything In Between
They have Airport transfer and Car park [free of charge], which is always a plus!
The Verdict: Worth the Escape?
Listen, "Escape to Paradise: Waupaca's Premier Comfort Suites at Par 4 Resort!" isn't perfect. No place is. But it's a solid choice. The rooms are comfortable, the amenities are plentiful, the staff is friendly, and, most importantly, they seem to be making a genuine effort to ensure your stay is enjoyable and, in these uncertain times, safe.
My recommendation? Absolutely. Especially if you're looking for a getaway that balances relaxation with a bit of excitement.

Escape to Lake Michigan: Your Perfect Stay at Quality Inn Michigan City!
Alright, buckled in? Because this isn't your grandma's pristine itinerary. This is…well, this is my attempt at a weekend in Waupaca, at the Comfort Suites at Par 4 Resort. Expect chaos, okay? And maybe a little bit of existential dread sprinkled with a surprising amount of cheese curds. Let's do this.
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and the Quest for Decent Coffee
1:00 PM - Arrival & Internal Monologue: Okay, deep breaths. Pulling up to the Comfort Suites. Looks…adequate. Not exactly the Ritz, but hey, free breakfast is a win, right? I swear, every time I book a hotel, I get this wave of "Did I make the right choice?" imposter syndrome. Is the bed going to feel like a concrete slab? Am I going to be the only person NOT on their honeymoon? Gotta shake it off. Gotta.
1:15 PM - The Room - A Room with a View… of a Parking Lot: Key card swiped! Room check. Yup, it's…a room. The TV's big, which is nice. Bed looks…okay-ish? And the view? Well, let's just say the parking lot has a certain…industrial charm. I am not a nature person, but the sound of the AC is already annoying me.
1:30 PM - The Coffee Crisis: Okay, REAL crisis. The in-room coffee situation looks…grim. Weakest, most anemic coffee imaginable. This is a problem. A major problem. (Okay, maybe I'm overreacting. But caffeine is vital to my survival.) Urgent need for decent coffee. Google search: finding a good coffee place in a small town is like finding gold!
2:00 PM - Mission: Coffee Accomplished (and a Slight Detour): Thank god for Google. Found a little coffeeshop downtown (The Coffee Collective - shoutout!). Coffee was amazing. And I'm now holding a beautiful latte and a blueberry scone of exceptional fluffiness. It was a bit further than I expected, but the short walk through Waupaca's main street gave me a whole new feeling.
3:00 PM - Settling In & Existential Dread (Round 2): Back in the room. Surfing channels. Staring at the ceiling. Starting to feel that familiar, looming sensation: What am I doing with my life? Is it too early for a nap? Yep, totally is. Need to rally. Need to…do something.
4:00 PM - Mini-Golf Mania & The Unexpected Rivalry: Par 4 Resort has mini-golf! Okay, so I'm a sucker for mini-golf. I am a total chump when I play. It's fun! I can't help but giggle when it goes wrong. I'm playing with a couple of kids ahead of me and a grouchy old man, who is silently judging everyone's every move. Oh god, what if they judge me? Oh god! But yeah, that was a blast. Definitely a little hot out there, got distracted looking at a lot of the trees, but that was also a welcome sight.
6:00 PM - Dinner & The Great Cheese Curd Experiment: Dinner time! Found a place called "Riverview" in the city. Was hoping for a real experience and some Wisconsin vibe. The place itself wasn't that special, but the Wisconsin vibe? Oh yeah, it was all there. And the cheese curds. OMG, the cheese curds. I ordered two baskets. One to try and one to take back (because these things are gold). They were hot, salty, squeaky, and perfect. I'm not even ashamed to say I almost cried a little from the sheer pleasure. This is what life is about!
8:00 PM - Poolside Philosophizing (and Questionable Swimming): The indoor pool at the Comfort Suites. Well…it's a pool. The water is…lukewarm. I swear, I can hear the chlorine screaming. But, I'm a sucker for pools. I can enjoy it. There are a bunch of kids, all splashing and screaming. I'm here, just floating and silently judging them. I had that feeling again there, like, "What are you doing?" and "are you sure this is life?"
9:00 PM - Room Service & the TV's Embrace: Back in the room. Room service is limited, but cheeseburgers are an easy choice. TV is on. I'm kind of glued to the screen. I'm kind of scared to go to sleep in case the room is cold, but I am now sure I'll wake up in the middle of the night. It happens all the time.
Day 2: Wandering, Wondering and a Second Helping of Curds
7:00 AM - Breakfast Bonanza (and Hope for Better Coffee): The blessed hour has arrived. Free breakfast time! I am trying to get an empty stomach to enjoy it, but the fear is there. The coffee situation is better than yesterday but, still not exactly life-changing. I go for pancakes, they are ok. Nothing to write home about. Overall, it's…serviceable, I guess.
8:00 AM - A Stroll Through Nature (and a Near Disaster): I decide to take a walk along the Chain O' Lakes. Trying to embrace my inner nature buff. The trails were pretty good. So it was amazing, I walked for about an hour. So peaceful, and even better, it was not hot. Then BAM, something bit me! I think it was a mosquito, but I'm not sure.
10:00 AM - Antique Shopping…and the Ghosts of Things Past: Found a cute antique store in town. I love the thrill of the hunt! Finding a treasure at a good price is the highest of highs! But then I start to wonder about the people who owned these things, where they were, and what their lives were like. I start imagining their lives. Are they watching me from beyond?
12:00 PM - Lunch & The Quest for the Perfect Sandwich: Okay, I'm on a mission. I NEED a good sandwich. Found a local deli. Ordered (a turkey and swiss on sourdough for me). It was good, but was it amazing? Sadly, no. A decent, respectable sandwich, though.
1:00 PM - The Great Cheese Curd Re-Up: Did I mention the cheese curds? I am now on a mission to buy more. Again. Seriously, those things are addictive. I'm stopping at the same place.
2:00 PM - Relaxation (Attempted) & the Art of Doing Nothing: Back at the hotel. I try to relax, at the pool, but I am not sure I am capable of doing this. The pool is warm, and a few more kids are here. This is a hard life, as I am a person who always needs to be doing something.
5:00 PM - Packing & the Bitter-Sweet Goodbye: Okay, time to pack. Time to accept that this mini-vacation is ending. I really don't want to leave the cheese curds, or the peace I found on the walk I had. I have some left in the fridge, but I cannot take them, which hurts.
6:00 PM - The Drive Home & the Post-Vacation Blues: The drive home. Reflecting on the weekend. I had some nice moments. Some not-so-nice. But, overall, it's a win. Even got some amazing cheese curds! I loved it!
Okay, so that's it. My messy, imperfect, and utterly human weekend in Waupaca. Hopefully, you had a few laughs. I know I did (even at my own expense). And if you end up in Waupaca? Please, for the love of cheese, get the curds. You won't regret it.
Pierre's BEST Kept Secret: Quality Inn Fort Pierre Review! ✨
Escape to Paradise: Waupaca's Premier Comfort Suites at Par 4 Resort! - Yeah, Right... A Very Unofficial FAQ
So, "Premier Comfort Suites"? Is it *really* paradise? Because my idea of paradise involves a bottomless margarita and a beach, not... Waupaca.
Okay, "paradise" is a strong word, let's be honest. It's Waupaca. Think rolling Wisconsin hills, maybe a lake if you're lucky. *I* imagined a glistening pool and a poolside bar serving... wait, is there even a poolside bar at Par 4? (Spoiler alert: There isn't. I checked. Repeatedly. For research purposes, you understand.) But, look, it *is* a Comfort Suites. Which, you know, means free breakfast (important), and generally clean rooms. Don't expect the Four Seasons, but don't expect a roach motel either. It's...practical paradise. Think of it as, like, *budget* paradise. Emphasis on the budget.
What's the deal with the Par 4 part? Do I need to know how to golf? Because my swing is more of a "flail and curse" situation.
Nope! Thank heavens! While the Par 4 resort *does* have a golf course, you absolutely do *not* need to be a golfer. You're free to, of course! My husband is a golf addict. He was *thrilled* when I booked this place. Me? I was thinking pool, relaxation, reading a trashy novel. He vanished for hours, grumbling about sand traps and birdies. I, meanwhile, was trying to figure out how to get more than *one* waffle at the breakfast buffet. Spoiler: you can only get one. It's a conspiracy, I swear. Anyway, feel free to ignore the golfing aspect entirely. Embrace the *non*-golfer life. It's the best life.
The free breakfast... is it actually *good*? Because free hotel breakfasts can be a gamble.
Okay, look, it's a Comfort Suites breakfast. Temper expectations accordingly. Think pre-packaged muffins that have seen better days. Think watery scrambled eggs (but hey, protein!). Think the aforementioned waffle situation. The coffee... well, the coffee is coffee. It'll wake you up. And honestly? After a night's sleep in a strange bed, sometimes *any* breakfast, even the slightly sad Comfort Suites breakfast, hits the spot. Plus, it's free! And hey, maybe you'll get lucky and they'll have fresh fruit. Maybe. Don't get your hopes up too high. Seriously.
What are the rooms like? Are they clean? (Because *that's* important.)
Generally, yes, they're clean. *Mostly.* I mean, you might find a stray hair or two in the bathroom (I'm shedding constantly, so I empathize), but overall, the rooms are pretty well-maintained. The beds are comfortable enough, the sheets are... sheets. The bathrooms are functional. I *did* have a slightly concerning moment involving a suspicious stain on the carpet (I chose to ignore it, probably because it was late and I was exhausted), but, you know, it was probably fine. Don't inspect *too* closely. Just settle in, relax, and try not to think about the previous occupants. (Easier said than done, I know.)
Is there a pool? And more importantly, is it *heated*?
Yes! There is a pool! And yes, it *is* heated! Huge win! It's indoors, so the weather doesn't matter. And after a long day of... well, whatever you do in Waupaca (hiking? Shopping? Contemplating the meaning of life?) a swim is just the ticket. The pool area can get a little... boisterous, depending on the crowd. Lots of kids splashing. Lots of parents yelling. But hey, it's *life*. And the hot tub is wonderful. Just, um, bring your own towel. The hotel towels are a little... thin. And sometimes, you'll get *the* towel: a relic of the 80's with a faint smell of chlorine and regret.
What's there to *do* in Waupaca, besides, you know, existing?
Okay, this is where things get interesting. Waupaca isn't exactly a bustling metropolis. But it has its charm! It revolves around the lake. Water sports are obviously a big deal, and you may indulge in the lake's siren call. There are cute little shops. There are some good restaurants. You can hike. You can bike. You can... well, you can relax! I did a lot of relaxing. I found a nice bench by the lake and read a whole book, uninterrupted. Bliss. My husband, of course, was off golfing. He *loved* it. I love reading. See? We're both happy. Think of it as a chance to... unplug. From *life.*
Is it family-friendly? Because I'm traveling with a small army of tiny humans (and the potential to start World War III).
Oh, absolutely. Comfort Suites are *built* for families. There are suites with separate living areas. The pool is a major draw. The breakfast buffet is a kid-magnet (all that sugar!). Be warned: you *will* be surrounded by other families. Expect noise. Expect chaos. Embrace the madness. You're all in the same boat, after all. And those kids *will* make friends with yours. It's inevitable. Just try not to judge the other parents' questionable choices (or their kids' questionable behaviors). We've all been there. *Especially* me.
Okay, the breakfast buffet... tell me *everything*. Really. Because my life depends on it.
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because this is a *serious* topic. The breakfast buffet is a critical factor in any Comfort Suites experience. First, the waffle maker. It's the star attraction, right? You get to squirt that batter in yourself and then the satisfaction of golden-brown waffles awaits. The issue? The line. It can be long. People guard those waffle makers like precious jewels. Some folks take *forever* to fill their plates. It's a waiting game. Then, the syrup. Standard issue, sugary stuff. But good enough.
The scrambled eggs? Well, if you’re lucky they're not too dry. Sometimes they look a little... pale. The sausage? A little flavorless, but hey, protein. The fruit?Trip Stay Finder
