This is a hipster boutique hotel. They have done a really nice job with the outside, transforming an old motor lodge into an esthetically pleasing place. It’s a fun place to stay. The rooms are 50´s mod meets dorm room chic. They scrimped on the room details in this boutique lodge…. The white walls are bare and show any imperfections and looks a bit sterile. The wood trim, esp in the bathrooms, looks like the cabinets fell off and they went to the local lumber yard for a piece of wood to cover it. A nice high shine glaze would make quite a difference. I especially didn’t like the dirty bathroom tile floors. As much as was spent on the outside…. You cheaped out on the rooms. Some attention to a better detail would totally turn this place into something memorable

The staff get high marks for being incredibly hospitable. I believe our room is the last to be rented out, so I can’t speak for the other rooms. As soon as we walked in it smelled freshly cleaned, which I do appreciate. The room is way overpriced in my opinion as it’s dated, small and dark. Some toiletries were not restocked and there were only two bath towels available. I would suggest asking for another set as one set does not dry in time to be ruses the next day. Door to bathroom does not latch. Decor is a few inexpensive items hung on the wall (not a deal breaker). We did love the location of the hotel and having The Lakely steps away with great entertainment saved our stay. Parking is also convenient.

Oxbow was great! We enjoyed live music and great drinks and apps at the Lakely. Riley and Jason were fun to talk to and gave us great drinks! Major bonus is that Oxbow let's you use bikes, helmets, locks for free. We toured around Eau Claire for a couple hours Saturday morning. Great fun!!! Their fun gimmick is you can listen to records in the room. We enjoyed some throw back Led Zepplin as we packed up. Ended our visit w a trip to Lazy Monk. Great visit all around.

Hotel and adjoining restaurant are both great. The rooms have stylish charm. The working record players in each room were a fun touch. Every trip down to the lobby I’d grab another record and take it up to my room play it while I was doing miscellaneous things in the room. It was fun to relive the 80s vibe that way!
The Chippewa River Valley bike trails are what brought me to Eau Claire and the hotel was perfectly situated for those. There was also great bars, restaurants and shops walking distance from the hotel. I parked my car Friday morning and didn’t touch it until Sunday when I checked out.

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The bar and patio were nice. The room decor was whimsical and you can check out records to play in your room. The bed was very comfortable.

I would have given it 4 stars is not for the bathroom design. The toilet and shower are in one room with a barn door and right off the bedroom. If you don't close the door, you are staring at the toilet from bed. The sink is around the corner from the bed, between the bedroom and the sitting area. So, there is no privacy will using the sink and you must walk through the bedroom to get to the sink. Not a good design choice.

Gosh, we LOVED our stay. Took last minute trip to Eau Claire-remembering it fondly from year before-the art sculptures, the bike trails, breweries. The Oxbow was terrific, had bike for us to use, our dog stayed with us, checked out vinyl-Bon Iver(of course) and some Led Zeppelin:). The use of bikes was such a treat, we took them out day we arrived and day of departure. So much to see and do in this cool town(and we are coming from the amazing city of Minneapolis). Every person we encountered that worked at the Oxbow were friendly, helpful and efficient. We will be back on a day when restaurant is open Can't wait to hear some live music and eat there. Thanks for a delightful, quick stay

The room was good. The bed was very comfortable. The vanity could use brighter lights. The room has a noticable musty smell when you first walk in. Might need new carpet and a new corner chair that looked dirty. The location is great with walking distance close to all bars and restaurants downtown Eau Clair

Location was perfect! Staff was amazing. Record selection crazy awesome! The Lakely restaurant that is attached is definitely a must do even if you’re not staying here. We usually stay closer to the highway but so glad we made this choice. Our new favorite place to stay!!

We were delighted to be upgraded to a king suite in the main building for the first time ever in many years of staying at the Oxbow. The king suite was immaculate and very comfortable - and much more spacious than the king rooms in the side building. Our only regret was that the Lakely closed at 10 p.m. so that we could not use our drink tokens by the time we returned to the hotel.

The hotel just didn't live up to my expectations. I checked in late while there was live music and there was no parking and the only option is to park on the street temporarily until a spot opens. The website says coffee 24 hours a day but when I went to the front desk at 5:30 am it wasn't available.

The room was spacious but the bed was not comfortable (not soft enough for me).

Our first room was not cleaned. They moved us to an upgraded room which was a futon that was as hard as a rock, A bed that was very low to the floor and no TV in the bedroom. Customer service was ok. They offered us a few drink from the cooler for our room not being cleaned. Food tasted like it was the leftovers.

This was hands-down the best hotel experience I've had in an extremely long time. The service from the entire Oxbow Hotel staff was 2nd to none. We were blown away by the first person who checked us in with a delightful attitude and over-the-top customer service. Later I asked another staff member a simple question and was met with a jovial response and, again, next-level, unexpected service. The next 2 employee experiences were equally as delightful. I will never consider staying anywhere else next time I'm in Eau Claire. Well done, staff. Well done.

The room was musty. It looked better online than it did in person. We were moved from a King room to a Flat...which caused us to have to pay for extra for a pull out bed instead of one in the king room we reserved. It felt cheay renovated and the shower grout was gross. Very noisy. The front desk person during the first evening was wonderful, the one when we checked out...not so much. Some fees that were added to the bill sounded like BS.

Good location and walkable to various places. This is not a resort, so ditch the “resort fee”. Just be truthful and increase the base rate, if you need to charge more.

Oxbow, No go

We were given a room in the motel building. The room smelled of mold. Very unpleasant. Parking was not available because they allow the restaurant visitors to park in the lot for those rooms. It is next to a busy highway and is very noisy. The restaurant is excellent and we loved the live music - but ughhh! The motel rooms leave much to be desired. The main building may be better but I won’t be back to find out.

We had a great experience at this hotel. We borrowed the bikes and enjoyed the trails that are very nearby. The location of the hotel is excellent for walking to restaurants and venues. We.would definitely stay here again. Minor, minor complaints would be there is no free water in the lobby, and the free coffee is terrible. But there is a really good coffee shop nearby!
