Top Downtown Eau Claire Hotel Reviews

Staybridge Suites Eau Claire - Altoona by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean. Quiet area, courtyard was inviting."

The Lismore Eau Claire - a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at The Lismore multiple times. Each time the rooms have been incredibly comfortable, the staff has been warm and helpful, and the hotel has in general been wonderful. I'll add that ECDC and The Informalist (respectively the coffee shop and restaurant in the hotel) are both excellent."

Metropolis Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for families, not much more cost than other local hotels with rooms that could actually fit our family of 5 and even more than that. The waterpark was fun and the life guards were vigilant and great. Only complaint was the add on of resort fees when we got there but still liked it. Bonus was that the Mexican restaurant in the adjacent parking lot was fantastic. Would recommend"
