Avalon hotel 1009 West Park Avenue, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729

"Worst dump I’ve seen and I’ve been to many places you’d not want to lay your head. Horrible service, mold in room, and blocked plumbing. Police onsite all the time. I wouldn’t send my enemy to stay a night here."

"We were in town for a wedding, and the wife booked this hotel through Expedia. The people working there were nice enough, but we ordered a room with two queen beds, and got a single bed with a pull out couch. I wasn't a big fan of walking into the lobby at night and being smacked in the face with the overwhelming odor of marijuana coming from somewhere close to the lobby, definitely inside. The bed blanket, if you can call it that, was hilariously thin. Thank goodness the weather this weekend warmed up, I can't imagine trying to get warm if it was freezing outside. It wasn't the worst I've stayed in, but if i ever come back out this way, I won't be staying there."

"They say they have Continental breakfast and they don't have it. The restaurant is not open. The room I got has an exit to the outside but the key don't work to go back into the room through the outside door we have to walk around the hotel to get in to the room. They didn't tell me that so I locked the door the to the hallway with the clasp and when out the outside door so I was locked out of my room from 4 PM till 2 AM. There is no communication between staff. I am so exhausted. I will never stay here again."

"This place is a complete dump!!! Out dated, dirty, the stench of mildew is overwhelming as soon as you walk through the front door! The staff at the front desk, or the lack there of, is ridiculous! I checked in, and checked out an hour later! It's one of the cheapest places to stay in Chippewa Falls for a reason!!! Spend the extra $20.00 a night and stay at Americinn by Wyndham just down the road, you'll be glad you did, I was!!!"

"I am not one to leave negative reviews if I’ve had a bad experience but this one I feel needs to be shared. I was simply trying to rent a conference room for my daughter‘s third birthday party that would have about 20 guests. I did not think that would be a daunting task considering the Avalon hosts larger, more upscale events like weddings and banquets. When I initially tried to call I selected the option off their phone tree to talk to the event coordinator however each time I tried calling it rang to her voicemail and her voicemail is full. So I tried the front desk and I talked to a helpful lady who said I would have to come in and meet with them which I thought was interesting considering it would be a small party And I only need a small conference room. I agreed to come in the following Tuesday, however I was sick that Tuesday. I called to explain why I won’t be there and I then asked the man at the front desk to have the manager call me back with information on the room rental. He said the manager would and they never did. I called back the following Thursday and I spoke to the same lady at the front desk she said oh I’m so sorry I’ll have her call you. No call. I called again today, Friday, three separate times throughout the day and I spoke to the same lady at the front desk each time she apologized and said I’m so sorry The manager will call you. Apparently the manager was never in the hotel throughout the day for the past two weeks? The last time I called I could even hear the lady at the front desk trying to dial the manager on her cell phone.It is now almost 7 o’clock and she has not called me. All I wanted to know is how much it would cost to rent a conference room for a small party! I do not understand how this venue can host events when this is how the business is run. The front desk people seemed to be helpful but apparently your manager needs some training. I understand short staffing however it has been two weeks since the first time I contacted the hotel, this is just negligence. Would not recommend hosting events at this location."
