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.

Room was clean and comfortable. My husband didn’t like the heavy fragrance from the plug in air freshener so we unplugged it.

Friendly staff. The room needed refreshing. The bathroom door didn’t close, the sink and Kleenex holder were cracked, the shower floor tile needed bleaching. But the bed was comfortable and the location was good.

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.
