Disappointing experience. Was put in the motel section of the property and room was very stale smelling. We were shown another room two doors down and it was just as bad. Walls are very thin so tvs, music, voices, laughter all heard very easily. Rooms are pretty plain, shower is “tired” looking. Wouldn’t come again.

A cute boutique hotel that fits our millennial esthetic with fun novelties such as board games and vinyls for each room.

This is a very cute boutique hotel. The record players are a fun touch. We enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable. Although the restaurant wasn’t open on a Monday there were still walkable options close to the hotel.

Second time staying at The Oxbow. I love his location. Only few minutes away from Downtown. Near to park and trails.I appreciate the atmosphere, different than corporate hotels.

Stay was great! All the staff was really friendly, bartenders on New Year’s Eve were excellent. Smashburger was delicious. Only issue would be the showerhead in room 21 does have buildup on it. So while taking a shower, it shoots out a bunch of tiny streams, which are slightly painful.

100% Yes!!

We had a reason to be in Eau claire for the night. We picked this hotel and I’m so glad we did. There are plenty of other places all around to explore. Many restaurants and bars, etc. Once we arrived at The Oxbow we found no reason to leave. The hotel itself is so comfortable and welcoming. All the little details that make you feel at home. They had a collection of records with record player in each room so that we could enjoy some music. Once we freshened up, we came downstairs in the hunt for dinner and found The Lakely is right on property and had live music and wonderful food. As far as the service the people there were so kind. It was just a fantastic experience to be there. We can’t wait to go back.
So many records to choose from!
