Nice hotel with personal charm. Nice staff. There is a bar. The restaurant really only serves bar food and even then not everything was available.

Wonderful boutique hotel in downtown Eau Claire. Restaurants and pubs were within walking distance. River walk was relaxing. One concern: I was charged a $20 “Adventure Fee” for use of bikes, or records, etc. Did not expect that fee nor did I have use for it.

I felt bad for walking downstairs speaking loudly on the phone when I know people in the bar got distracted along with the cute, sweet singer on stage. If there were a door to compartmentalize the rooms in order for folks like myself to NOT interrupt the talent.... I know it's nothing innovative but I just wanted to say sorry! I had no idea there was live music,

Stay would have been much better if there wasn’t a fire alarm both of the nights we stayed. Showers could use some updating, but every else was good.

The hotel consists of two buildings. The one we were placed in had no elevator to our second story room. At our ages (70s) we did not appreciate having to lug bags up a flight of stairs. Also hotel charges a $10 fee that was not described in Expedia listing.

Neat little hotel, just may not really be for us
Rooms were small and gave that efficiency apartment vibe.The futon was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable to sit and sleep in, our child let us know that the next day. No TV in the bedroom, and the bed was not comfortable either. The room's AC was underpowered and no matter how you changed the settings, the fan speed and cooling never changed. The outdoor patio was nice, with lots of seating and fire pits.The staff were very friendly and helpful. Neat pocket hotel design, but there were rooms with parking lot facing doors, so it's more of a motel/hotel depending on what room you get.

Bed is low to the ground so if you have bad knees i would not recommend. Had a lock for the bathroom but no way to actually lock it.

Good overall
More unique decor than most hotels, including record player. Nice employees. Cool bar with a couple unique drinks. Small room on first floor had a tiny patio, slight scent of a basement, and ear plugs if you might be bothered by minor road noise. Coffee and instant oatmeal for breakfast; a couple coffee shops within 4 blocks. Glad I tried it.
