No daily housekeeping service. Understaffed restaurant.
When requested replacement of towels after 2nd night, they did not even pick up used linens. Instead new towels were simply left in a bag inside room door!
Bathroom tissue box ran out of tissues. Minimal bath supplies. No shower cap for example.
Not what one expects from resort such as this.

Advice: bring cash to pay for extras because every card transaction had a very low % fee to process it. Atm is avail on-site.
Warning: 20% tip added to nearly EVERY bill, every restaurant! this 20%tip warning is literally posted everywhere, so don't succumb to sticker shock when you get bill. I will tip more for exceptional service!
The very friendly staff will show you the itemized bill if you ask, in case you need one.
Good stuff: You can get a decent cup of coffee or even fancy coffee at main bar.
Breakfast buffet was nice with lots of options.
Beach area food stand had good food, bar had excellent service and the drinks were worth the price!
The Osthoff landscape was really beautiful, lending to a very relaxing atmosphere, including friendly greetings and smiles from staff all over.
Pricing for room was average for a busy resort, but kinda weird the way everyone attempted to charge to room (even after flashing the old plastic or cash).
The resort settled bill and extras efficiently by providing easy to understand report via email.
Bad stuff:
Staff, during buffet breakfast, handled food without gloves and practically had to beg for salt/pepper and silverware after being seated and drinks delivered to our table.
If you are not part of a large group (wedding, convention, etc), then be prepared to dine-out for dinner on weekends! we spent 1hr Saturday 6-7pm looking for nice restaurant, on and off resort, only to be turned away due to group/event reservation.

Park your vehicle and unload your items, and no need to drive until it's time to leave. Dining options on the property as well as many options within walking distance. Great to have swimming pools and a beach.

We love the Osthoff! This was our 4th stay. Excellent choice for calm, pleasant family time on a beautiful lakefront, with friendly people, in a really cute & walkable town without feeling crowded. Staff is excellent. Kids club huge perk. Live music is fun in the evenings.

The Osthoff is an amazing getaway from the city. Located on Elkhart Lake an hour outside of Milwaukee the resort is perfect for family trips or business events.

The weekend crew was way better at service. During the week we requested turn down service and extra towels and it required several texts and phone calls and we did not always get the service. The weekend crew was better. The resort is beautiful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I wish our neighbor didn't bring his ukulele and sing terribly on his balcony every night, but that's not the hotel's fault. Charging a $13 delivery fee for room service, plus expecting a tip, was a bit extravagant when the restaurant was right below us. The Osthoff Hotel app never worked right and wouldn't let us order room service or virtually check out. On Monday morning when we were trying to sleep in, the fire alarm went off for 10 minutes at 7:30 am due to some maintenance the hotel was doing. I've had much better stays at this hotel the last 5 years and I'm sad this experience was not one of the best.

Amazing resort with plenty of amenities and comforts. Surprised but happy to see the kitchenette, nice balcony, jacuzzi tub plus walk in shower and fireplace. Very close to Road America for race fans and lots of racers hanging out in Elkhart Lake.

Beautiful hotel and property with excellent customer service except for my checkout experience. Lisa at the front desk was very rude and condescending to me and needs to be reminded by management on what good customer service means.

My reservation clearly stated a two bedroom with balcony but I was given was a two bedroom of the backside of the hotel with a view of another building hardly a balcony it was overpriced the unit was old the carpeting was worn the kitchen had no drawers believe it or not and all in all I think it was a complete waste of money.

Beautiful setting, historic, walking distance to dining. Close to Roadamerica track. Courteous , friendly staff. King suite was much larger than expected. Only complaint was we put some trash outside the door thinking it would be emptied but it wasn’t so maybe have to request that? Plan to stay here again.

First time there went with another couple. We attended the Christmas show with Wendy Newcomer and Doug Allen Nash. Enjoyed, will probably be back next year. Nice to stay right at resort, show, restaurants and places to get a drink under one roof. Have to stay longer next time. Very comfortable rooms.

This is a beautiful resort in a beautiful location! I especially enjoy the entertainment they bring to the resort. Highly looking foward to seeing Ikons of Rock again there!

A lot of young and inexperienced staff that are in need of better training. If Sergio, chef, had not intervened, the birthday dinner would have been an absolute disaster. Kudo's to Sergio, demerits to the rest of the waitstaff.
Not worth the rate being charged. Feels like they are living off of a reputation, not quality of operations.

We enjoyed our first stay at the at Osthoff Resort. Bar staff at the Elk Room was very nice and drinks were delicious. The hot tub and sauna were very clean. We ordered take out from Ollie’s that was very good as well. Our room was very spacious we enjoyed the fireplace. We will be back.

Expectation we’re over hype from the reviews. 1-10 it’s a 6 asking for 10 $. Not even coffee is offered at the front desk. Pay to play only!

The lakefront was beautiful the common areas were uniuqe the photos on the wall were quite fascinating, will be coming back for holiday festivities. Been hard to walk as I am on the mend from hip surgery, a maintenance man carried my bags as we missed an elevator. Hard to navigate as it is an older property but that is also the charm.

The landscaping, the property was amazing. The opportunity to do a lot or sit and rest at watch the water. The room service was awesome. Playing a few video games, the horror VR game was so fun as an adult, I never did that. Making a trip to candy was cute, even thou only 4 M&M’s came out for .50 cents. The actual room had a great whirlpool tub, so relaxing. I think they could put a better coffee maker in the room, coffee pot and coffee with plastic packets of dried powder creamer was awful. I also didn’t like the carpet stains everywhere in 214B. The balcony was awesome and we slept with door open and screen door closed, so refreshing. Waking up to sun peaking thru made the things that I didn’t like okay.
6.0
I was disappointed in my stay largely because my room while large was dated and in need of multiple repairs. The staff was lovely and very accommodating but from the minute I walked in until the morning that I left, I had to have them fix things in order to be able to use them. For instance, my bathtub did not drain when I went to use the television the remote needed new batteries, when I went to turn on the fireplace, it was not operational. Additionally, there were virtually no food options and unfortunately the wing I was in just smelled stale and dirty.
