We're nestled within the bustling heart of downtown Eau Claire, right on the Chippewa River Trail, mere feet from the Eau Claire River, and just blocks away from several restaurants, retailers, pubs, parks, farmers markets, theaters, and various nightly events. Our unique property consists of two distinct buildings - The Main House and The Flats. The Main House hosts The Lakely - our farm-to-fork restaurant, bar, and music venue. The restaurant is open for dinner service Monday through Thursday 5pm to 10pm, and Friday and Saturday 4pm-10pm. The bar is open Monday through Thursday from 5pm - 12am, and Friday and Saturday from 4pm-2am. The Lakely is closed on Sunday.

The Oxbow is a nicely restored property. Be aware, it is best experienced by a younger person. The front desk could be more attentive. They did not have a menu for their restaurant, could not answer questions about the artwork, and when asked if the tour bus that had been running for 2-hrs in their parking lot would be running all night had no clue and really didn’t care. If you sat on the patio adjacent to parking, enjoying a drink, you also got to breathe in diesel fumes. No way could we eat here. The room is very Scandinavian sparse. The tv was is in a living area with a futon type couch with a 2-inch thick worn out pad. Extremely uncomfortable. The remote did not work and they had to get us a new one. The bathroom (at the foot of the bed) closes with a sliding barn door on a rail. Not too private. The sink is just outside the bathroom but in the bedroom. Not good attention to detail since the wall mounted soap was empty. Thankfully, we had a bar of soap to use. At checkout no one asked about our experience. Overall, the staff were friendly but not very well trained. Think twice about staying here.…

Hotel's Favorite
Wanting something different than the usual turnpike exit hotels during our recent drive from Maine to Montana, we picked Eau Clair as a point on the map, not too far off the road. And boy did we luck out! The Oxbow Hotel was/is a gem! The rooms were very comfortable with funky charm, the restaurant was great, and there was even an art opening at the adjoining gallery that eve. And the town itself seemed very upbeat and well-tended with nice public spaces along the river. If future trips bring us by Eau Clair, we will certainly stop for another night at the Oxbow! (As an aside, The Oxbow reminded us very much of the Lark in Bozeman, another favorite.)

The Oxbow Hotel is one of my absolute favorite places to stay in Wisconsin. I visited for a music festival a few years ago, and returned with my boyfriend and our dog for an overnight on the way to Northern Minnesota. Our room was adorable, convenient for our dog, and was the perfect place to chill listening to records. We loved the central location as it allowed us to walk all over town. Dinner at The Lakely was fabulous and all the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

The room is is somewhat of a minimalist style. Kind of similar to a Scandinavian Motel 6. Does have high end toiletries, though. Bring your own vinyl records, Their record selection has a lot of redundancy of weirdness.

Thanks to the hurricane in New Orleans and a flight being cancelled i was unable to stay at this hotel. When calling to cancel -the non refundable rate was applied and they didn’t care that a hurricane had just hit our area or that a flight was cancelled. So i kept my room and no one will be staying there since i was being charged anyways. Thank you so much for understanding -will not be staying at this hotel in the future.
