I’ve stayed at the Oxbow many times, great facility with unique room amenities - record player in each room, albums at front desk. While I prefer a room inside the main building, the rooms in the annex are good just maybe not the same overall experience. Great restaurant on-site. Will stay again.

Eh, it was ok
Everything seemed pretty worn out in the room. I wouldn't describe a record player and some local artwork as "boutique". The resort fees are a ridiculous tack on...

Great staff, good location for being Eau Claire. Walkable. Property has some really great decorations/ ideas like vinyl record library for the in every room record player- but we tried 6 different ones and they all skipped to much to be played. Great art work. We’re not fans of carpeted rooms because you never know what hides in there- but it’s an American thing and hard to find rooms without it in the US- Slightly worn out at this hotel but we’ve seen worse. Overall, this is not a $200 (what we paid) hotel for a town like Eau Claire. But nicer hotels are limited in this town so we would probably stay here again next time. Attached restaurant and all the staff we ran into were great. FYI- no breakfast or breakfast option on site. Free tea and coffee whoc I was nice.

This hotel is so cute!! The restaurant/bar had fantastic cocktails and food and there was even drag bingo the night we were there!! Everyone was so nice, the room was very modern, clean, and comfy. Close to several bars, I recommend the Sports Page, it has bonus holes! Overall a great first time in Eau Claire!!
