Top Wausau Hotel Reviews

Cedar Creek Hotel Wausau - Rothschild

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful. Nice place. Very cozy. Very roomy for 2 beds. I would say toilet seats are small. Which was funny to sit on. Not saying I need one for my big butt. Lol. And room was clean-ish. I found crumbs of something on my blanket which I just brushed off and the pillows had hair on it still which I had to remove piece by piece. But overall, wonderful place."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Wausau

8/10 Good

"The staff was able to change my room from the second floor to the first. I was not able to do the stairs, no elevator. I was happy with the breakfast it was the standard fair. But the cleaning of my room was not good. They came in and took the one towel and one washcloth off the sink counter and that was it. No new towel in the bathroom, no trash taken out and bed was not changed or made. Was very dissapointed in this area."

Best Western Plus Wausau Tower Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A unique property, being tower shaped. We enjoyed the spacious room on the top floor. Elevator service very helpful! Check in was quick and efficient, with all available staff offering excellent hospitality. We found the lounge and outdoor patio area particularly enjoyable! Gas fired fireplace and a full moon over the buildings were a highlight! The morning breakfast was wonderful with hot entrees of eggs, sausage and potatoes. Waffles and fresh fruit and coffee made the meal very enjoyable! We'll select this property when we need to stay in the area again!"
