Self-check-in was a little strange, but it you pay attention to their email instructions you'll be fine. The rooms are lovely, especially the one's over the street. The bar/restaurant in the lobby (not affiliated with the hotel) had amazing food, as did most of the shops we visited. Great, walkable part of town.
Cheese curds of course.

Our room was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was large and had a beautiful shower. Our night was quiet and the breakfast vouchers were great. Parking is a little confusing and a few blocks away.

Cozy stay

We have stayed here several times and there has always been a free breakfast free breakfast is indicated on your website, but there was no free breakfast. A little misleading on that or stay was very good. The rooms are big and they have a great view of the city block. We really love staying at the Clark Hotel very unique and cozy.
