Dated, needs updates, but clean and quiet.

The place is a little dated and dark, but the rooms were clean and it was quiet. The hot tub was closed for maintenance which was disappointing since there's no other pool or anything. Also, the cable wouldn't come in so we were unable to watch anything on tv. Also, the desk/lobby area closes in the evening so you can't access the vending machine even. Most fascinating, they still have physical keys to get in the door! You never had to worry about the key card not working. 😆 It would be perfect for skiers at granite peak or golfers at the course right there. El Tequila Salsa is right down the road and was fabulous!

Unusual place but good enough considering price.

Quiet room. Very happy with the soft bed and variety of pillows. Didn't use the shower, so can't comment on that. For some reason, the laminate-wood flooring was slightly sticky to both shoes and socks. The entire interior of the building, even the room, was weirdly dark. Still a fair experience for a fair price.

Slightly disappointed

The setting is wonderful. Quiet, in a residential neighborhood. I chose it because of 10 ratings. Not a 10. I'm attaching a picture of the note about the bathroom door. While securely closing the bathroom door isn't a big deal, for Pete's sake if you know it's a problem replace the door! The door was cracked and nasty at the bottom anyway. Stingy with towels and we had no washcloths. I would have liked a blanket option other than the thick, super warm comforter or just the sheet, it was summer. Taylor at the desk was sweet, and did call us to explain that they had a staffing emergency and she was closing check in at 3:45. It fit our schedule fine to check in before she left. But it meant that we had no access to the lovely lobby, ice or vending in the evening. The outdoor hot tub was closed for repairs. We wouldn't have used the sauna, but it was also not available because of no staff.

The facility is in a lovely wooded area. It was likely highly desirable in its prime but it appeared tired and dated with buckets scattered about about to catch leaks, had a weather checked exterior, and hallway carpeting in need of cleaning. We passed on breakfast as cold cereal and waffles did not strike our fancy. Our room itself was fairly well kept but overall we will not consider staying again.

The property is off the beaten path which made it quieter and more personal. The room was clean and comfortable and the other guests were considerate, the staff was helpful and kind. Being on the first floor I could hear waling from the room above me but the other noises were minimal. The lobby was not open until 8 am which was a little inconvenient, but just plan for it and its fine. Close to shopping and to Wausau without being in the middle of things. Very convenient to Rib Mountain. Very reasonably priced, I would recommend the hotel to other travelers.

Great place to stay if your goal is to get close to Granite Peak ski area. It was cost effective and is the closest property to the resort. It was clean and has recently been updated. But it’s still an older hotel. There is no elevator. Overall we had a good stay and we would stay there again.
