This hotel has a fun, retro decor and ambiance. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable. Lobby has an art gallery and vinyl record library guests can check out and play on the record players in every room. Located in downtown Eau Claire and close to entertainment.

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.

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.
