Best Western Premier Bridgewood Resort Hotel

There’s something deeply welcoming about the Best Western Premier Bridgewood Resort Hotel, tucked on the edge of Neenah, just far enough from the Fox Cities’ bustle to feel like a retreat for both locals and out-of-towners. It’s a place where Midwest hospitality isn’t just a slogan—every encounter with staff feels genuine, from the housekeeper who’ll come up to help with your TV remote, to the front desk team who’ll remember your kids’ names after an afternoon at the aquatic fun center. The resort’s layout encourages people to linger and roam: families drift from their rooms down to the pool with its playful water features, then out again for rounds of mini-golf or pickleball under a canopy of trees by Neenah Creek. Evenings bring couples and business travelers alike to Batley’s Bar & Grill, where the menu leans hearty and local. It’s not uncommon to see wedding parties spill onto outdoor patios or friends gathered around fire pits after dark. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and reliably clean. Some offer whirlpool tubs for those seeking an escape; others open onto views of lush greenery or—less romantically—the parking lot. While most nights settle into a peaceful quiet, weekend gatherings can lend a cheerful hum throughout the halls. A handful of rooms have awkward layouts or pick up a bit too much hallway noise, but staff are quick to smooth over rough edges wherever possible. Bridgewood isn’t aiming for hip minimalism or urban cool; it wears its small-city roots with pride. Here, locals celebrate milestones and visiting families make traditions that last years. The hotel has become a bridge between communities—wedding guests from Milwaukee mingle with Appleton retirees, all drawn by the promise of comfort and a dash of resort-style playfulness in Wisconsin’s heartland.
