Our stay had its ups and downs. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the surrounding area had some lovely natural beauty for outdoor activities. However, the water park's additional charge was inconvenient, and the rooms felt outdated and not entirely clean. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects, the experience didn't quite meet our expectations.

The Holiday Inn Club Vacations Fox River Resort offers a unique experience with its spacious accommodations and a variety of activities for families, like mini-golf and a nice pool area. However, the location is quite secluded, making it a challenge to access city attractions and dining options. The service encounters can be hit or miss, and some amenities weren't as expected, which detracted from the experience.

The facilities include a lovely indoor water park and clean pools, but the closed water park was a disappointment. The mini-golf and outdoor activities were enjoyable, though.

This resort offers a range of enjoyable activities and spacious accommodations, perfect for family getaways. While the indoor water park is a fantastic feature, my stay was marred by cleanliness issues in the room and a somewhat aggressive timeshare sales pitch. Overall, the value for the cost was decent, but the room conditions could use improvement.
