Reviews and Ratings
I had a cozy stay at the hotel with beautifully appointed rooms showcasing Wisconsin nostalgia. The love for our lovely state was evident throughout. However, the inconvenience of not having a coffee maker in the room was a downside.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were beautifully appointed with a lot of Wisconsin nostalgia, which was a cute touch. The only downside was not having a coffee maker in the room; I had to go to the main building to get my coffee fix. The setup was nice, and I particularly loved the vinyl record player.
Staying at the hotel was a cozy and charming experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed with lovely Wisconsin-themed décor, and while missing a coffee maker, the nostalgia feel was cute. The service was above average, offering unique amenities like turntables in every room and a laid-back welcoming vibe at the Oxbow. The location was ideal, with cute walkable shops nearby and just across the river from downtown.
