Bed was very comfy and vibe overall was good! Staff were wonderful. However, the room was very outdated and smelled of mildew and urine heavily during the stay. I also felt uncomfortable closing the bathroom door the entire way because there was a dark liquid stain that began at the top of the door and ran to the floor. I wanted to love this place because it was so cute, the staff were absolutely wonderful, and the location was great. But I was very worried about the overall cleanliness.

Cute, artsy hotel, in the heart of Eau Claire’s downtown. Right across the street from the best ice cream in town, and walking distance to beautiful Phoenix Park, bars, and dining options.

The entire hotel has a wonderful warm and friendly vibe. I felt like I was old friends with all of the staff members. They were very helpful prepping their tandem bicycle for my wife me to take a long ride. We had a blast at The Oxbow and will happily stay there again on our next visit to Eau Claire.
