Great place to stay in Wausau, WI.

We had a great time in the kiddie pool with our granddaughter. The room was nice and large and the pillows were so nice. The sheets were very comfortable too. Everything was fresh and clean. Loved that they use refillable bathroom products. We would use this hotel again for sure.

Room was clean and nice. Had an excellent breakfast. The sauna was nice too. Cute little splash pad but definitely made for much younger children and our 6 year old was not interested. Pictures made it look bigger. Hot tub was closed and only got a days notice before our visit so we were very disappointed as we chose this hotel as one of the amenities we wanted.

Great staff and perfect location, the family needed a one day getaway for valentines day and they accommodated us. Definitely going to be staying here again whenever a staycation is needed, also a great place for those that visit from out of town close to shopping roughly 5 to 10 minutes from rib mountain where the shopping district is but yet away from the noise and relaxing for the entire family.
