    The only thing was they put us in what they referred to as a new room. No problem but you kind of need to pack a lunch to get there. Up to floor 4 change elevators and the access your floor but the new elevator was a walk from the original elevator. It was a Tuesday night had to believe they didn’t have a more accessible room.

    I love the staff very accommodating

    They have three elevators, but only one goes to the lobby, so you had to wait awhile given how many rooms and floor there were. While stairs would be fine, staying at the upper level and, arriving and leaving with luggage and pet, you need the elevator.

    Really good location for checking out downtown, with lots of eateries and the river park nearby. Free parking in their lot. Relatively late checkout (12 PM). Friendly staff. Extra level of security in that you needed your room key to take the elevator to your floor.

    Everything in the hotel is a little bit too used, although clean, no any bad smell. Toilette didn't work well, clogged in the morning, I need to ask for a plumber (in fairness, the front desk immediately reacted, the plumber came in 5 minutes, all the process took less than 15 min). Breakfast was great and hot BUT it should be included, according to Booking.com reservation, and we were asked to pay additionally for it.

    Spacy suit, very well equiped, perfect for 3 adults and 3yo child. Comfortable sofa with all the additional bedding and warm blanket in the living room and king-size bed, whirpool and shower in the bedroom. Fireplace for both rooms. Mini-kitchen is enough for short journey with a kid. Pool is really a great fun after skiing day.

    Beds were too firm. People need to show up on time. Showed to 7 am breakfast but food was not ready. Then booking over charged me. If I would have called directionly to Jefferson I would have gotten room for $139 a night. I expect refund or better deal from booking

    The pillows were the hardest things we’ve ever experienced. The room also seemed a bit dated. Not horrible, but for the price, I would expect a little better.

    Somewhat dated rooms. Pillows very hard. We had a boring view ( room 405) of construction site. Breakfast just ok. Could use better breads, pastries.

    Great location and wonderful staff. Easy parking. Good size room. Clean. Hot water pressure wonderful. Will stay again.

    The view from our window was toward the back of the hotel toward the old mall. Wausau is so beautiful it would have been nice to have had a better view of the city.

    Our stay was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good but was not hot. I realize it's difficult to keep eggs and pancakes hot in the food warmers. The Char restaurant is beautifully appointed.

    Excited to try out the pool. However, the pool was too cold to go in and the Jacuzzi was too cool as well to enjoy.

    There are comfortable. We requested a crib and it was there without us having to ask for it on check in.

    I was disappointed that you did not offer daily room cleaning or at least every other day. I tried to schedule it when I needed it and I was put off for one more day. The bathroom area really needs a little clean up daily as well as the kitchen (we used dishes and glasses). This is the reason I only have the hotel an 8. The overall hotel is a bit tired. Could use a facelift and updates. Still feels like the 1990s or early 2000s.

    The location was very convenient. Char is a really fantastic restaurant. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and it was great. Anaka out dinner server was exceptional. Jerry and Brigette helped us one evening with cocktails and appetizers and there were very good too. I did not get the lady’s name who worked breakfast Monday thru Friday. She was fantastic. She gave us a great start to our days while we were there.

    Had to walk quite a bit down the long hallways to get back and forth from my vehicle. The bed was not very comfortable in room 443, I could feel the metal coils as I was trying to sleep on it. I have stayed here before and the beds in most other rooms are fine.

    I appreciate the hospital rate, it helped with the financial stress during my treatments
