The ambiance and comfort of the room and lobby area. The location downtown was exactly what we needed, and it's close to great restaurants, bars, and shops. The cleanliness was great. I also like the history of the building. My grandpa stayed there when he returned from France in 1957 and caught a ride on the bread truck back home. So cool to see history restored and kept alive.

I would've loved a few more breakfast options included with the stay. There were items for purchase, but simple pastries or a grab-and-go would've been appreciated. I believe they had some oatmeal available, but that was it.

Loved the record player and that you could check out vinyls from the front desk. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about things in the area and where I could find things that I may have forgotten.

I wish that the restaurant was open and that they had food being served. It looks like a really great place. It would have made this day well over at 10. I did have to leave to go get food, but that was OK.

The bed was very comfortable. Cute, rustic, decorated for Halloween. Complimentary breakfast of individualized Bob’s Red Mill organic oatmeal or Quaker Instant Oatmeal, fresh fruit, small muffin, great coffee or organic Jasmine Green Tea. A choice of a cozy lounge near the fireplace to eat breakfast and relax, sitting at the polished wood window bar to look out at the street or the gallery room with local art and good “alternative” music playing. A chance to bring up to three vinyl records up to your room to play. Very handy to have a cool restaurant also attached, sometimes playing live music.

Wished the restaurant, The Lakely, had more choices for food. The food was pretty good, but the menu was extremely small. Their cocktail list is enormous, and looked like fun.

It was clean. We liked the retro minimalist vibe of the rooms, spacious king suite, comfy bed and 3 sided view. The Lakely restaurant craft cocktails and open mic night was a fun surprise. We also enjoyed listening to a couple of vinyl LP records in our room on the record player. Great location near the River Walk and Civic and Arts Center downtown.

No towel bar or trash can next to the sink area. The very hard futon as a couch. The art in the hotel felt a bit juvenile, but not offensive.

I loved the Scandinavian/Mid century/ quirkiness of the hotel and our room. There was a record player in the room and you can borrow vinyl records from the lobby. Our room was sparse but very comfortable. The room has a small refrigerator. The location was perfect! And the restaurant connected was great! AND the jazz performers rocked it!

I was expecting plastic cups or any sort of beverage holder. There was none.

Room was very spacious with very comfortable beds. It was fantastic to have a record player in the room as well as a refrigerator.

We stayed on the second floor and the music from the restaurant was very loud despite them having only a few patrons at the time. We did not mind hearing the live performers singing until 1000pm, but after that, there was loud music until after 3am. They do provide earplugs in the room, but honestly for $210 a night I would think the music could be turned down to a less intrusive level after midnight.

I love the BoHo, Urban "Lumberjack" aesthetic. Cozy, hip, thoughtful details feel more like an Airbnb than a generic hotel. And loved the bar at Lakely. David was amazing for help select just the right drink. Can't wait to return.

The record player is a nice touch but the stylus was non-functional and couldn't play records.

The Oxbow is one of these really unique boutique hotels that we try to find whenever we travel. And, understanding that, it's a real bargain! we enjoyed our stay, and would stay again, should we ever return to Eau Claire. Most comfortable hotel bed I think I've ever stayed in! The on-site restaurant is great as well!

Centrally located and easy to walk into town to get a bite to eat. Rooms were clean and simple amenities (such as a bar of real soap) available. They had bicycles available free of charge and lots of trials to go and explore. Front desk staff helpfull and friendly.

Ground floor room a bit on the dark side as natural light did not get in due to a wooden fence infront of the window. It would be easy enough to redesign the wooden fence to allow both light and privacy for the room. A basic breakfast was on offer (free of charge), it was good but I could of done with more.

I have stayed here twice now. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The rooms are well designed and they have some fun items (including Rye Gin) for sale. The restaurant is very nice. My only quibble is that the carpet in the hall probably needs a little cleaning. Otherwise it is a unique, small hotel near the bike paths, the Pablo Performing Arts center, and the rivers.
