100% Yes!!
We had a reason to be in Eau claire for the night. We picked this hotel and I’m so glad we did. There are plenty of other places all around to explore. Many restaurants and bars, etc. Once we arrived at The Oxbow we found no reason to leave. The hotel itself is so comfortable and welcoming. All the little details that make you feel at home. They had a collection of records with record player in each room so that we could enjoy some music. Once we freshened up, we came downstairs in the hunt for dinner and found The Lakely is right on property and had live music and wonderful food. As far as the service the people there were so kind. It was just a fantastic experience to be there. We can’t wait to go back.
So many records to choose from!

I’ve stayed at the Oxbow many times, great facility with unique room amenities - record player in each room, albums at front desk. While I prefer a room inside the main building, the rooms in the annex are good just maybe not the same overall experience. Great restaurant on-site. Will stay again.
