Hampton Inn of Eau Claire

Enjoyed our stay! It was just freezing out the day I was there, took forever to warm up the car lol. Anyway, it’s a good location, good staff, I also enjoyed the breakfast a lot :)

I have stayed here a few times since the first of the year for work. This is a nice hotel for the money, but there are a couple of things about it that irritate like a stone in your shoe. First let me say Everything is clean. The pool and hot tub area are great. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast has more options than you find in most other chains. Tea, hot cocoa, and coffee are available 24 – 7 along with fruit and cookies. They had popcorn in the lobby for March Madness watchers. They also have a breakfast to go option (paper bag breakfast) at the checkout desk that is a worthy option for those in a hurry. The staff is friendly and helpful. All thumbs up for me. The irritations: 1) the rooms are organized so that the desk is on top of the HVAC unit so while you work it blows hot or cold over you and is very uncomfortable; 2) none of the breakfast items are prepared on site so the boiled eggs are leathery, the heated options are hit and miss, and the juice machine spits out watered down juice most of the time. Minor disappointments in an otherwise great place to stay.

This is a disgrace to the Hilton name. Don’t expect much, no hot water, the pillow top bed that the gal at the front desk told us about, well that wasn’t there either, and worst of all your towels after the cold shower are stored next to the toilet, so I am sure they don’t have any splattered pee on them. The place was loud all night. I highly recommend a different place if your looking for a good night sleep and hot showers.

Im sick of staying at hotels with internet so slow you can barely load a webpage. For a few hundred dollars a month a business can buy an internet connection which is hundreds of megs per second. The download speed here is less than one meg. Most pages time out. In this day and age where internet is a necessity like water or electricity this nothing short of frustrating and pathetic.

I stayed one night during a road trip in early August. The housekeeping staff put a rubber ducky with a blue bandana and black hat on the shower floor mat, folded over the tub. It gave me a chuckle. The stay was comfortable.

First review ever. This place has the greatest customer service due to the manager whom we have dubbed ‘saint Theresa’. She took one look at me as a weary traveler and turned this Hampton Inn into an oasis of comfort and refuge! She went out of her way for me and is genuinely an expert in hospitality!!! So grateful she is at the helm here and her young employees are very bright and full of potential. Every comfort you could ask for in the rooms was spot-​on as well. Super clean and lovely.

We stayed here with a wedding party on a Friday and Saturday night. They allowed us to check in early, which is normally unheard of, but they figured everything out for us. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating, handing out bottles of water and Ibuprofen just before we left, which was key, as we were all hungover from the wedding. The breakfast was really great for a free breakfast! The kitchen staff there was extra nice and got us exactly what we needed. The rooms hand hand written notes which we all thought was funny. We even loved the Oktoberfest themed rubber duck in the bathroom. Overall, I was really impressed with the staff and the services we received and I would recommend anyone to stay here!

My coworkers love to stay at hamptonn inns to get Hilton points. So we stayed here… it was OK but definitely the worst hamptonn inn I’ve stayed at thus far… the floor had like holes in it, the one seater lounge chair was stained… etc…
But the housekeeping staff seemed friendlier than others I’ve stayed at. They left me a note saying «Thought you could use a refreshing bottle of wateR» and left me a bottle of water. Then they left a note next to my bed saying they enjoyed cleaning my room. Then they left hershey kisses on my bed. This was the second night. The third night I got hershey kisses and a bag of tea. The last night, i just got an extra hershey kiss.
I would probably stay at the Holiday Inn next time… the one with the Johnny’s italian steakhouse located in it. It looks way nicer.

Being a Hilton HHonors Diamond member, I have had to spend my fair share of nights in the lowest hotel chain in the program. This Hampton Inn could show some of the better brands a thing or two about how to make yourself stand-​out.
There is nothing special about the location, décor or amenities. It IS a convenient location to both the Interstate and a bunch of retail and restaurants nearby. It is a typical HI — clean and friendly.
Here is what made me write this 4-​star review:
–Friendly Front Desk. I was checking in rather late, but the woman behind the front desk was still bright-​eyed and happy. And like me, it turns out that she loves the new Gummy Bears that they give top tiers members!
–I get to my room and the surprises begin. There is a nice handwritten note from «Gaby». It was so nice that I wrote her back.
–There were two little Hershey’s Kisses™ on the bed with a little poem about how they knew it was tough for me to be away from my home, so here are a hug and kiss to remind me of that. Awwwwe!
–I didn’t discover it until the next morning when I went to take a shower, but there was a DUCK in my bathtube!!! Yes, that’s right — a little (rubber) duck! Years ago on a trip to Hong Kong I stayed at the Conrad Hotel (on the opposite end of HHonors levels from HI) and they gave me a little duck that still makes me smile when I look at him in my bathroom when I find him. Now, he has a friend, who will remind me of my night in Eau Claire.

I stayed here for 5 days or so back in March…
I try to stay in SPG properties, but when I had to go to Eau Claire, that wasn’t an option… enter Hampton Inn.
I really wasn’t expecting much… and I was pleasantly surprised! Was it the really decent free breakfast? How about the daily themed rubber ducks and hand written notes the cleaning staff left me every day? How about the really clean room and free wi fi? I don’t know. but it was all really nice!
If my travels bring me back to Eau Claire, there is no doubt I would stay at the Hampton Inn.

They’re the only Hilton property in Eau Claire and are booked by all the business men by default. The hotel is clean, and thank goodness they just updated their work out room. Their previous work out room was about 12 sq feet with 2 pieces of equipment so you could smell the guy next to you. The new one is much much better. Hopefully, the new renovations continue. The desk staff is very very nice.

I’m a fan, what can I say?
I travel to Eau Claire for work occasionally and I’ve made the Hampton Inn my place to stay when I come to town.
I have to admit, I think the Hilton chain does bedding right. It’s usually the large combination of pillows and soft mattress that I appreciate. This Hampton Inn has it going on in that department.
As for the rest of the room, it’s cozy, clean, and comfortable. I appreciate the decorated rubber ducks they leave by the bathtub, which have become bath favorites of my daughter. Free wifi? Yes please. A nice desk to sit with my laptop? Cool. A padded table to rest my laptop while I sit on my bed and watch the Daily show? Even better.
The pool and hot tub are very nice and great to visit at the end of a long day.
But it’s the breakfast. Oh, the breakfast. I’m telling you it’s awesome. Large selection of both hot and cold foods that will have you checking out with a full belly. The coffee is very good, with several different blends from decaf to medium to red eye available.
This Hampton Inn fits nicely with the chain and is a great place to stay when you’re in Eau Claire.

I have to agree the décor is very dated.
The common area carpets need to be replaced.
The room was OK. Typical Hampton Inn.
For the area, this is one of the better options.

Pros: Clean. Very nice Staff. Excellent hot continental breakfast. Nice flatscreen TV with HDMI input (good for watching Netflix using our laptop).
Con: Poor soundproofing… heard someone upstairs clomping around a lot. Internet bandwidth capped at 500kbps download speed. Not exactly «broadband» as they advertise. Makes Netflix watching painful with the exceptionally slow buffering (2 – 3 minutes average buffering time with several dropouts during the movie). Please remove the BW cap!

It’s a little dated and doesn’t seem to have undergone the recent make overs. Walls seem paper thin. You will definitely hear you neighbors in the next room and they will hear you on the phone. It also seemed a bit pricey at 124.00 a night for Eau Claire, WI.
But the staff… Amazing! I have traveled for 20 years and not once have I awoke after a snow storm to discover my car brushed off as a courtesy of the hotel! Just about every place in town delivers to the hotel, and though the gym is small, they do have a free relationship with a 24 hour gym 4 miles away!
Net net it may be a lil dated and loud, but I have a dream machine app, the staff is amazing, it’s clean… I will be back!!!

Average Hampton Inn. A little run down. Could use some renovating. But, a decent place to stay, for a decent price. Free internet and breakfast.

This Hampton Inn is amazingly average. Sort of like being in Purgatory… or in the non-​beach area of Delaware. Nothing stands out as being particularly exceptional, almost nothing stands out as being awful. (The main exception being the 100 degree excercise room that was smaller than many bathrooms that I’ve seen.) Other petty annoyances of note — A loud AC unit and super whimpy toilet paper. Bonuses, A fairly nice flat-​panel TV.

I stay at Hampton and other Hilton family hotels all over the place, and this was was better than most.
Super friendly folks here in Eau Claire everywhere we have been.
Pool was small but lovely; whirlpool was marvelously hot.
Very clean and comfortable.

Another standard Hampton Inn during our road trip. We had a problem with our tv and they came to the room within 3 minutes and fixed it.
My only semi complaint is that their gym is pretty poor. They have a nice big indoor pool but their gym had a treadmill (broken), a stairstepper and maybe a bike. The problem was that it wasn’t air conditioned… it actually felt like it was heated. I don’t like working out in a sauna. I’m not docking a star for this because the lady at the front desk says they are affiliated with some local gym in the area and we could use it for free… I was just too lazy to go find it.
Oh and for some reason they gave me like 10,000 bonus hilton points… they must be having a special this summer!
