Cool older building in a good location, however..

The hotel was fine, there was only one main reason for my rating, and it was the bathroom door. For some reason unknown to me, hotels like to put barn doors on bathrooms now, but this one in particular was really bad. Not only did it roll open 6” on its own and not say closed (no way to lock it either), but there was. 2” gap around the door to the wall anyway. So not good for sights and worse for sounds…so if you’re staying here be prepared to be very comfortable with the person you’re staying with.

I'd stay here again for sure.

Just a cool place. From the record library to the bar. Walking distance of almost everything. My only complaint which is not huge. Is it can be a tad loud at night.

Quick stop in Eau Claire

Loved the record player and little shop. Loved “The Local Store” and proximity to restaurants. Bathroom needs some storage. Even a couple of hooks and a shelf would help a lot. Nice water pressure, but the shower pressure hurt our faces.

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.
