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.

The hotel is in a great area for exploring downtown. Clean room and friendly staff. We were surprised that there was a $10 “experience” fee added on for each night, not sure what that would be for as you don’t getting special perks… That gave us a negative feeling as it felt like a hidden fee.

We stayed in an outer room right off the parking lot and next to the outdoor patio. It was raining the night we were there so nothing was going on on the patio, yet the outdoor music was on and it was loud. We could hear it clearly enough in our room that I could make out the lyrics. Finally at 10:00 my husband called the desk and asked them to turn off the music, which they did. The room was also noisy because of street traffic. The room was adequate but nothing special. The window only had a blackout curtain so it was dark when that was down but if you want to let daylight in, there is no covering on the window to hide the view into your room. We were supposed to stay a second night but decided not to see how noisy it would be on a Friday night with good weather and went home early.

We had stayed at The Oxbow a few years ago, and things have gone down hill a bit since then. The carpet on the 2nd floor was in really bad shape, and the Lakely restaurant that had been open for breakfast, lunch & dinner is now only open from 5-10p.

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.
