I stayed here three nights due to a family commitment in town. Thought I'd save a few bucks and went for the low rates. Unfortunately you get what you pay for. The continental breakfast was sadly lacking - cold cereal, toast, and day old danish. The bagels were dried out and sorry looking. The room was all right, but the... More

This is my second time staying at this property and it's the rate that brought me back. We try to make a weekend visit to some of our favorite Northern Wisconsin bike trails every summer and it's worth it for me to stay away from the tourist areas, drive in for the day to hike, bike, mini-golf or whatever, and...

Just like all others I thought the staff was very helpful and nice. The rooms were clean and the beds were great. However, our room was not "furnished" with a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, or hair dryer. With three kids the fridge was needed during the 90 degree day. The pool and hot tub were dirty, could not let the... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for his 3-day work engagement. I was happily surprised to find the staff to be so friendly and helpful in spite of the very late check-in (it was nearly 2:30 am). The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and had a comfortable bed. I don't really sleep well in hotels (who... More

We had stayed at a horrible hotel the night before. The owner was able to squeeze our family into a room that he usually keeps open. They were very clean and quiet. We had a great nights sleep. Very accomodating. Also had a breakfast in the am! I would recommend this hotel to others!

Like lots of Econo Lodges, this is an older hotel that shows quite a bit of wear. The location is very handy being right off of highway 51, just north of Wausau, WI. This was a busy weekend at the hotel, it was almost full. The first room we were given was very smokey smelling, even though all rooms are... More
