Cute, Clean, Craft Cocktails
This hotel is so cute!! The restaurant/bar had fantastic cocktails and food and there was even drag bingo the night we were there!! Everyone was so nice, the room was very modern, clean, and comfy. Close to several bars, I recommend the Sports Page, it has bonus holes! Overall a great first time in Eau Claire!!

A Great Place to Spend the Night
Nice accommodations, great location, good parking. Not a typical hotel, more people oriented than a chain. Accomodations kind a cross between mid-century modern and European gasthaust but spacious. Newly remodeled, great shower, record player in room, records at desk to check out . Good food & draft beer but limited selection on food. Close to downtown and probably Mayo Clinic. October seems to be “off season” but there were some runners and cyclists.

We really enjoyed staying in beautiful downtown Eau Claire, and there were a number of great places to eat and visit within short walking distance. The Lakely bar and grill, on the same property, is a great spot to unwind and enjoy live music with friends. The record player in the room and album lending library were great additions. Nice clean room, comfy bed, great shower and climate control.

would be happy to stay here again. Our room this time was one of those with an outside door. We were concerned there might be excess traffic and other noise, but there wasn't.

Futon couch very uncomfortable. Need tv in bedroom also. Dinner menu needs an upgrade - more selections other than burger and sandwiches. Some staff could improve their dress. Should be better than a grubby t-shirt and sweat pants. Otherwise a cool place. Dig the record player!

Just OK
Sink was cracked and did not drain well. Lightbulb was burned out. Towel rack fell off the wall and floor was dirty under the bed. Check went well and location is excellent. Staff was pleasant, and it was nice they offered oatmeal in the morning, but coffee was so so.
