"Love the location decor and price"

Verified Review, stayed from Fri Apr 17 to Sat Apr 18 2026 at a $256.99 average nightly rate.

"Fantastic"

I love staying at the Oxbow each time I am in Eau Claire. They are pet friendly which is a huge plus and I love that they had treats waiting for my girl when we arrived. There is easy access to several trails which made it easy for planning running routes through downtown. My favorite is the selection of vinyl's that you have to choose from for the record players found in each hotel room. Highly recommend. Pleasant staff and simple yet comfortable rooms. LOVE it!

"Wonderful getaway"

My daughter and I stayed at the Oxbow Hotel for a one night getaway and we loved it. The room (in the main building) was clean and nicely decorated, as well as quiet and accommodating. Plus, dinner at the attached restaurant was delicious. The person at the front desk was very nice and outgoing and made sure we had what we needed.
