Perfect for a stay in downtown EC~ close to everything & lots of outdoor activities available.
Pros:

Unique, restaurant & bar on site, location

Cons:

No coffee/ breakfast available on property!!!! Staff weren’t able to help with questions or requests. Double bed in a queen room ???? It was an ADA room so that may be why. Headboard was oversized & bed wasn’t centered ~ just odd! Records to use a nice touch as well as games etc though we didn’t use any.

Fun hotel with an awesome location!
Pros:

Loved the charm of the place and the cocktails and live music next door are awesome. Record players and library in the rooms are great too! Blizzard was coming and staff was so helpful for the entire situation. Great find for EC!

Cons:

Maybe just the sliding wooden door for the bathroom but that's just a preference!

Great location, amenities, and cocktails
Pros:

The hotel has a great location, vibe, and fun amenities like a record player. The Lakely bar is also fantastic, we greatly enjoyed our cocktails and the service from Addison was great.

Cons:

Our room (#16) had a slightly unpleasant smell (sort of mildly sour/damp?) when we checked in. Everything looked perfectly clean so I couldn't determine what was causing it, except the chair had a largeish stain on it, so maybe that was it? It faded eventually, and wasn't a huge deal. Everything else was great and we will stay again if we come back to Eau Claire!
