Best Western Eau Claire South
We only stopped her as it was horrible weather and we needed to get off the roads, it was not a good hotel. It literally smelled like sewage. The rooms for one night were tolerable and the breakfast was included, which was nice, but this would not be one I would recommend or go back to.
