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.

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.
