The Oxbow Hotel

"Nice place, but missing some things that would make it great. Parking was difficult to figure out. There was one small lot immeidately after a turn that was hard to notice, and I had to call the hotel to find out they have parking across the street. My room was in a seperate building that I had to go outside and climb some stairs for. Room itself was comfortable, but as others stated the walls are thin and the road noise can be a problem. Heard one guy randomly yelling from the next room a few times before he quieted down. The restaurant was closed, and I didn't see any breakfast offered in the morning, and the coffee was not so great, was very bitter. Was expecting something more gourmet to fit the vibe of the place, or maybe even something like a coffee and tea bar with multiple hot drink options would have been nice. Record choices were also pretty obscure, but record players were a unique addition to the hotel. Hopefully more choices are added. Room also had some quirty furniture like lamps and art work and clocks, and those were nice. Overall this place was a bit quirky and underwhelming, but the rooms were clean and I had a comfortable stay. Loved the big pillows. Staff were friendly, but rooms were pricey. I would come here again but wouldn't be my first choice."

"Pretty cool hotel, def enjoyed our stay here. Parking was in a few different places but otherwise the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. We'd probably stay here again."

"Reserved this room for a fun weekend with my husband. This used to be a sleazy motel in the 90s and I was excited to see it revitalized! I had high hopes but I was left underwhelmed. I will start with the good. The room was clean, no odors, bed and pillows are comfy. The record player is a nice touch but we didn’t use it, the selection of records didn’t interest me. The staff were nice albeit slightly aloof. The Lakely is a nice place for a drink and some live music. The location is great. Now the not good. This place is expensive for what you get. It is very loud!! Cars that drive by are not muffled by the windows. The heater/ AC is also loud. The walls are thin. The air in the elevator is heavy with air freshener. I wondered what they were trying to cover up. The coffee served in the morning is awful. Will not be back."

"The location of this hotel is perfect. In walking distance of so many great restaurants, bars, and venues. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was okay, it has more of a nice motel vibe than a boutique hotel. The room was clean, but we could hear the conversations of the guests in the next room. Overall, great stay but for the price I'd expect a little more."

"This hotel is absolutely gorgeous and such a great place for a Wisconsin weekend gateway! Me and my partner wanted a mini weekend gateway within the state and we didn’t have a particular place in mind to visit, we were open to anything. When browsing around some of the populated cities, we found the Oxbow hotel! I am so glad we found this place, it was truly the best weekend gateway we’ve ever had! The hotel itself and room were spectacular and super clean! I love the aesthetic of the whole place as well. The record player in the bedroom was such a unique piece to have! Love that you could check out 3 records at a time for the room to listen too. In addition, you can check out some bored games for the room as well. We read some other reviews before staying here, and some other reviews were negative. But after staying here the entire weekend, none of the negative reviews of this place make any sense because we had such an exceptional experience here! This is the place to stay! No doubt, we will be back for another weekend gateway in the future at some point. We had such a wonderful time! If you have doubts, or are debating on staying here or not, just do it! You won’t regret it!"
