Had to lift up bathroom door to close. Only one screw half way out on top holding it! Toilet lid had nothing hold it and my roommate slipped off and sprained his wrist. Bathroom was filthy!!! Worst room I’ve ever been in. Coffee pots at breakfast, 2 were empty and one was Luke warm. With our room filthy, we felt that we probably should not eat and opted to eat at a restaurant! Excellent choice!!

They did move me to another room and double checked to make sure it didn't happen again.

This place is extremely outdated. It's some family that runs it like a brothel. I would spend the extra 30 dollars at the hilton or even drive to Wausau. The bathrooms were dangerous with no handles or show seats for old people like me. I would recommend Hotels.com take it off your list. the rate was 90. but not worth that at all.

This place is absolutely disgusting. We decided to pay for early check-in so the kids could swim before our evening plans. Come to find out, upon arrival at 1 pm we found that the pool was closed because the water heater for the pool and hot tub was broken (which based off of the other reviews was a lie and it was because the health department shut it down and it hasn’t been operational for awhile). The side door which normally is accessed via your door key, was not secure and had a hollowed out core where the lock goes. The hallways were filthy and the room smelled like cigarette smoke. We complained and they offered to change us rooms but the other room had the same odor and the air conditioner smelled of mold.
It appears that the people who work at the place stay in an old motorhome parked to the left of the main entrance. They stand outside and smoke all day.
At first glance, it is quite run down, grass is growing between cracks in the cement and it could definitely use some paint, a good cleaning and new carpeting to say the least.
Additionally, the rooms were very dirty, bathtub was gross and the odor throughout the place was musty. The pictures online are deceiving and do not portray what the place looks like currently.
At $125 a night this place was a rip off for the quality.
Corporate Wyndham needs to look into this place.
Spend your money elsewhere.

Very disappointed

The property was old and tired. It was fairly clean and the bed was comfortable. The minimal staff were friendly. However, people who appeared to be long term residents were always out in front just outside under the overhang smoking and drinking and so we were always walking through a cloud of smoke. This was both when we arrived and when we left the next morning. The morning breakfast was so terrible, I walked next door to Kwik Trip and got breakfast sandwiches and coffee from there. We won’t be back next year when we go through Merrill on our way up north!!

Only about half the lights worked. The walls are very thin so it is noisy. It took us about 30 minutes to get the TV to work. We wanted to use the pool that was advertised but when went to go swimming found out it had been closed by the health department.

It was a Travelodge, the price was reasonable and affordable, the room was ok clean...table was dusty, there was a clump of hair in the drain of the tub, but tje sheets were clean on the bed and tje towels were pretty soft and decently fluffy. And the AC worked. The front desk was incredibly nice and helpful. Biggest disappointment was the hot tub was broken. It was one of the reasons we wanted to stay there, beside price point and location. They should definitely note that on the posting, especially if there are no immediate plans to repair it. I probably would have stayed at an even cheaper motel had we known the hot tub was out of commission. Also, shower pressure is pretty week, but the water stayed hot.

Overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive place to lay your head that is conveniently located, then i would say this place will do you just fine.
