“This property strikes me as the best bet in Wisconsin Rapids, balancing vintage charm with a good range of amenities that include a clean pool and breakfast; it's clearly a popular choice for events and families, given the spacious suites and meeting facilities. The on-site dining and recreational facilities mean a comfortable stay, even if the decor is a bit dated. For a central Wisconsin visit, it's a solid base, especially if you're travelling with pets.”
