I didn't get to spend much time on the property or in my room, but I could tell they spent a lot of time caring for the property thinking about who would use their rooms and the quality that guests received.

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.

Amazing hotel and better than any chain hotels. Close to all the biking trails and downtown! They had bikes on site so we were able to ride 20 miles when we were there. Lakely restaurant was also amazing - great food, drinks, and live music!

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.

We stayed at The Oxbow and has a really great time! The hotel was very nice, and it was fun to be able to grab a drink (very reasonably priced) in the bar after seeing a show at the Pablo Center. We are looking forward to coming back!
