Beautiful newer hotel close to the river, Pablo Center and numerous restaurants and bars. Being a Hilton Honors member I prefer to stay at their properties and this one was very nice. I was disappointed, however, that I was unable to select my room. We ended up with a smaller one and the bed was only a queen and sagged in the middle. Overall it was a nice room. The attached parking garage was older but functional. We went to the restaurant but upon review of the menu and pricing we chose to eat elsewhere. They specialized in pizza and we were not on the mood for that.
We were visiting for a university event but it was also a very busy with the Eau Claire marathon in the city. The hotel stay (1 night Saturday night) was great! We had a King Room with a sofa and there was still plenty of space. The bathroom was also large and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great with plenty of variety and the whole breakfast area was very, very clean. They could use more table seating in the breakfast area particularly for groups. My only complaint is there was no parking available in the lot when we returned to the hotel at 10:30. We ended up parking on the street as we weren't comfortable parking in the handicapped or electric charging spots as the front desk person suggested.
The location of this BW is great. The UWEC campus is only a few blocks away. The Chippewa River Bike Trail is one block away. You can take the trail into the city along the Chippewa River or head out into the countryside. The BW was quiet, beds very comfortable and staff friendly and pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.
We were here for fewer than 12 hours and it was adequate for a quick shower, a night's sleep and a quick breakfast. Upon first glance it seemed OK, but my husband dropped the TV remote and when he looked under the bed to get it there were a bunch of grape stems from who knows when...? Also the in room phone was really dirty especially beneath the receiver. Quite disgusting. The bathroom and bed linens were clean which is most important. The location was adequate and the price was pretty good especially since we had points to spend. Not sure we'd stay here again unless it was for another quick stop.
