Great service! The front desk was very helpful! However the neighborhood wasn't the best and they were lots of creepy people around. The motel was clean however it had lots of garbage stacked up by the garbage area. It didn't come with breakfast but they offered waffles for $1.25, which I think is a good price but I didn't try them so I can't tell more.

This hotel was clearly used for quite a bit of criminal activity. In the time that we were there (less than 24 hours) we witnessed 3 separate arrests. It’s pretty rough there.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I just needed a place to sleep, when I got here no one was at the front desk and people all over the lobby. Dirty, and I did not feel safe. I usually am very tolerant but this was a place I will NEVER stay at. Follow your gut, people.

Staff was excellent, and I understand that this is the cheapest hotel in Wausau. However the people that were staying there were mostly drug addicts, there were a few nights I had watched drunks slouched over by the doors, people talking to themselves and whatnot. One night I had a drunk guy in his 50s knocking on my door multiple times over the span of an hour because he was too drunk to realise he was at the wrong door. If you need a quick stay and you’re low on funds stay here but if you can afford somewhere better go elsewhere.
