Chippewa Falls Getaway: AmericInn's Unbeatable Deals!
Chippewa Falls Getaway: AmericInn's Unbeatable Deals! - A Somewhat Chaotic But Ultimately Honest Review
Okay, folks, buckle up. I've just emerged from the Chippewa Falls AmericInn experience, and let me tell you, it's like…well, it's like trying to wrangle a herd of kittens while juggling flaming chainsaws (metaphorically speaking, of course - I wouldn't actually do that). But at the end of the day, it was… something. Let's dive in, shall we? And yes, I'm totally ignoring any semblance of order. Sorry, not sorry.
First Impressions (and a Little Bit of Accessibility Rambling):
Right off the bat, accessibility. They say AmericInn is accessible, and… well, they say a lot of things. Honestly it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The website claims wheelchair accessibility, and there are elevators, so that's a good start. But I didn’t have a wheelchair to test it with. I saw ramps. But the devil is in the details, you know? I'd say call ahead and be super specific about your needs. Don’t just take their word for it. The main problem is that sometimes hotels just say something is accessible when it’s really not.
Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private]: They do both, I think – depends on the mood of the front desk person, I guess. It’s not always the smoothest experience, like you're getting a very laid back vibe. They’re nice people, they’re just…well, not hyper efficient.
Elevator: Yes, thank God. My knees weren’t built for stair climbing this time!
Facilities for disabled guests: I saw a few labeled rooms, but again, go deep on the accessibility requests.
The Room – My Little Fortress of Solitude… Mostly:
Alright, the rooms. Air conditioning? Check. Non-smoking? Check. Blackout curtains? Double-check! Thank you, sweet baby Jesus, for the blackout curtains. Actually, make that triple check because I need sleep, like a vampire avoiding the sun, I tell you! My experience was generally good, but I heard a few complaints.
Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens
I love that the Internet access -Wi-Fi [free]: worked well. Internet access – LAN: I didn't touch it, and I’m not sure anyone does anymore. I am a total sucker for bathrobes and slippers– they were in the room, and good ones. Hair dryer was functional. Refrigerator: Saved my yogurt!
Room sanitization opt-out available: I didn't opt-out, but it's good to know you have the option.
Soundproofing: Worked most of the time. I did hear the delightful sounds of hallway shenanigans a few times, but hey, it's a hotel. It’s a fact of hotel life.
Food, Glorious Food (and Some Mild Disappointment):
Oh boy, food. Restaurants, Bar, Coffee shop, Snack bar. They’ve got 'em. Breakfast [buffet]. Yes! Kind of. Buffet. It’s… serviceable. Cereal, some pastries, the usual suspects. Breakfast takeaway service. I didn’t try this. Coffee/tea in restaurant. It’s there. Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. The choice is not the most impressive and it's definitely more of a general "American" breakfast.
Room service [24-hour]. Never used it. But hey, it's there!
Poolside bar: Nope.
The most noticeable food element was the Cashless payment service which I appreciated.
A la carte in restaurant: It's there, but the menu is, well, predictable.
My one major food complaint? The Coffee/tea in restaurant… needed some serious help. But honestly, I am not that hard to please.
Relaxation and Other Stuff:
Swimming pool [outdoor]. Yay! Okay, the pool - this is where the AmericInn shines. I’m not kidding! The chlorine smell actually smelled clean. It was warm, and delightful. Pool with view? Okay, maybe not a stunning view, but it was pleasant. And after a long day of… whatever one does in Chippewa Falls…that pool was pure bliss.
Sauna: They had one, I think? Spa/sauna, Steamroom: Nah.
Fitness Center: They had one, filled with the usual hotel gym suspects – treadmill, elliptical, some weights. I skipped it, due to a slight aversion to exercise. But, you know, it's there for the masochists amongst us.
Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap: None of these options. Alas. I wanted a massage.
For the kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. I didn't travel with kids, so hard for me to judge.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Important Stuff:
Cleanliness and safety: Hand sanitizer, Daily disinfection in common areas, Anti-viral cleaning products, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.
Okay, this is where AmericInn really gets it right. They seem to take it seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere. I felt like I was swimming in a sea of cleanliness, in a good way. They clearly understand the importance of pandemic cleanliness. Rooms sanitized between stays as per my observations. Staff trained in safety protocol. They seemed to know their stuff and were masked up. Daily disinfection in common areas. Check. Individually-wrapped food options. Check. This made me breathe a little easier.
CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms, Smoke alarms, Security [24-hour]. I felt safe. Seriously secure.
Smoke alarms: Yes. Thank god.
The Bottom Line – Would I Go Back?
Look, AmericInn in Chippewa Falls isn't the Ritz. It's not trying to be. It's a solid, clean, and well-priced option. The pool is a huge plus. The staff are friendly. The cleanliness is impeccable. The location is convenient.

Unbelievable Deals at Ruleville Inn By OYO: Cleveland's Hidden Gem!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're hitting the road! My "trip of a lifetime" (which is code for "needed a break from staring at the ceiling fan") takes us to the heartland: AmericInn by Wyndham, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Yep, that's the life. Prepare for a wild ride… or at least, a slightly askew itinerary.
Day 1: Arrival, Mild Panic, and the Promise of Cheesecurds
- 3:00 PM: Land in Chippewa Falls. Okay, "land" is maybe a strong word. More like, cautiously approach the rental car, praying I didn't accidentally sign up for a minivan this time. (Spoiler alert: I didn't. Success!). The GPS. Oh boy. It's already arguing with me about the route to the AmericInn. This is going well.
- 3:45 PM: Arrive at the AmericInn. First impressions? Clean enough, I guess. The lobby smells faintly of chlorine and…victory! There's a pool. I bet it's not too cold. Check-in? Smooth as butter. The woman at the front desk, bless her heart, seems genuinely happy to see me. A good start. I have a feeling this place is going to be alright.
- 4:00 PM: Unpack. Or, more accurately, throw everything onto the bed in a semi-organized pile. Clothes? Check. Toiletries? Check. Existential dread? Also check, but let's ignore that for now.
- 4:30 PM: The Eternal Quest for Cheesecurds. I didn’t come all this way to not experience Wisconsin's finest culinary offering. I've heard rumors. Whispers. Legends. Research indicates a spot called "The View" is supposed to have amazing curds. Time to find this hidden gem.
- 6:00 PM: Back at the hotel. The View was closed. Apparently, the universe is testing my curd-devotion. Ordered pizza from a chain place. Kinda depressing, if I’m honest. Ate it in bed while scrolling through Instagram and feeling terribly alone.
Day 2: Eau Claire Explorations and the Great Outdoors (Maybe?)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the AmericInn. Standard hotel fare. Waffles. Cereal. Rubber eggs. But the coffee? Surprisingly decent. Gotta find those small victories.
- 9:00 AM: A drive to Eau Claire. It's only about a 15-20 minute drive, so hey, why not? I've heard there's a nice river walk? I think. Okay, well, the town itself definitely gets points for the name, makes me think of lovely Eau de Parfum.
- 9:30 AM: Eau Claire River Walk Attempt #1. The weather. Let's just say it's "Wisconsin-y." Meaning: The sun's playing hide-and-seek. I try to act like the sporadic rain doesn't bother me, but I'm secretly envisioning myself slipping on wet leaves and breaking an ankle. This is not the adventure I planned.
- 11:00 AM: Eau Claire River Walk Attempt #2. I take the chance, and the sun peeks out! I'm feeling brave again. I sit on a bench, trying to look contemplative. I eat the granola bar I packed. I spot a couple of ducks. Everything feels perfect. Then, a gaggle of children descends upon the area like a swarm of locusts. I flee, nearly tripping over a rogue tree root.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Found a cute little sandwich shop. The soup was lukewarm. But the sandwich was really, really good. Small wins, people. Small wins.
- 2:00 PM: Back to Chippewa Falls. Contemplating the merits of the hotel pool. This could be my life's defining moment. But, first… the pool.
- 4:00 PM: The Pool! I'm now pretty sure it's colder than the ocean. The steam that rises from the water is definitely not for relaxation, it's because it's trying to escape the chilly air. I dip a toe in, shiver, and then just go for it. Okay, it’s not so bad actually, it is a nice reprieve from the outdoors. It’s…peaceful? In a weird, chlorinated sort of way. It might just be the best thing that’s happened to me all day.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. This time I'm determined to find something good. I ask at the front desk. She suggests a place called "Lucy’s Brews." This could be good.
- 7:00 PM: Lucy's was closed too. Seriously, what is happening with the world? I end up at a generic American restaurant. The waitress? Exhausted-looking. The food? Predictable. The entire experience: Perfectly underwhelming.
Day 3: One Last-Ditch Cheesecurd Effort and the Big Departure
- 8:00 AM: Hotel Breakfast Round Two: Waffles, rubber eggs, slightly better coffee. I briefly consider buying one of those waffle irons on the way home. Maybe make waffles every day? Not realistic. But the thought is comforting.
- 9:00 AM: The FINAL Cheesecurd Crusade. I’m giving it one last shot. This time I'm going to find a local spot.
- 10:00 AM: SUCCESS! Victory is mine! I discovered a little bar called "The Cabin." And the cheese curds? They were hot, squeaky, and perfectly golden-brown. I may have shed a tear of cheesy joy. This is it. This is what the trip was about.
- 11:00 AM: Back to the Hotel.. Packing up. Reality looms.
- 12:00 PM: Check out. I actually kind of miss my room already. The quiet. The lukewarm pool. The…charm?
- 1:00 PM: Drive to the airport. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll come back to Chippewa Falls someday. If only for the curds. And maybe, just maybe, to stare at the ceiling fan in a different hotel room.
And that, my friends, is how you spend a slightly messy, occasionally disappointing, but ultimately cheesy, life-affirming weekend in Chippewa Falls. Don't forget the cheese curds. And for the love of all that is holy, pack a raincoat. You never know.

Chippewa Falls Getaway: AmericInn's Unbeatable Deals! (The Real Deal, Folks!)
Okay, Okay, So What Makes These Deals "Unbeatable"? Because Hotel Talk is Usually Just... Lies, Right?
Alright, look, I get it. "Unbeatable" gets thrown around like confetti at a bad wedding. But seriously, the AmericInn in Chippewa Falls… I actually *went* there. And for the price? Yeah, it's pretty darn good. Think clean rooms (I'm a germaphobe, so trust me on this!), a decent breakfast (waffles! Always a win), and a location that's actually *in* Chippewa Falls, not some hazy, distant suburb-thing.
They have these packages. And they actually make sense. Like, a "Romantic Getaway" that *includes* a bottle of wine and maybe a gift card to a local restaurant? Not bad! Let me tell you, that bottle of wine helped smooth over a certain… *disagreement*… I had with my partner about whether or not to visit the Brewing Museum. (Spoiler: We went, and it was fascinating, after a few glasses of that wine.)
Is the Breakfast REALLY as Good as They Say? Because Hotel Breakfasts are Usually a Tragic Comedy.
Okay, lemme be brutally honest. No, it's not Michelin-star worthy. But it's *perfectly acceptable* hotel breakfast fare. Think waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs (which, let's be real, are always a gamble), cereal, fruit... the usual suspects. I'm not going to lie, I ate about five waffles one morning. Don't judge. They were crispy! And the coffee? Surprisingly drinkable. It's not gonna knock your socks off, but it's a solid fuel-up before you hit the town (or the breweries, because… Chippewa Falls!).
I remember one time, at another hotel, the scrambled eggs were, I kid you not, GRAY. Like, actual grey, not the nice, sunshine-yellow you hope for. That's when you know you've reached the bottom rung of the hotel breakfast ladder. This AmericInn breakfast, thankfully, avoids the gray-egg abyss.
Chippewa Falls? What's Even *There*? Besides, You Know, Beer... And Why Should *I* Go?
Alright, so Chippewa Falls… It's not exactly Vegas, but it's got charm! and beer! Seriously. And the people are super friendly. The downtown area is cute with a few shops and restaurants, But the real star? The breweries! You've got the iconic Leinenkugel's (tour is a *must*), and several other craft breweries popping up. It's a beer-lover's paradise, I swear.
Plus, the scenery is gorgeous. Think rolling hills, the Chippewa River… It's a great escape from the city grind, you know? I went with my significant other. And we, being the seasoned travelers we are, managed to find a trail to hike, a really nice lunch spot, and a bar... I would go back just to walk the trails near the river again...
Let's Talk Packages! Do they Actually Offer Value, Or Are They Just a Gimmick? Spill the Tea!
Okay, the packages. This is where things get interesting. I'm usually pretty skeptical, because packages can be a real rip-off. But the AmericInn seemed to have some good ones. They had a "Brewery Tour Package" that included tickets to a brewery tour, a gift card for a local brewery, and, maybe, a souvenir glass. And the "Romantic Getaway" that included the Wine, I've already told you, I'm now a fan. It was worth it... and frankly, better than the price of booking everything separately. Do the math, people! It's not rocket science.
But, make sure you read the fine print! Check what's *actually* included. And don't be afraid to call the hotel and ask questions. That's what I did (probably way too many questions, actually! The poor front desk person!).
Is the AmericInn Really "Family-Friendly"? Or is that Just Marketing Gobbledygook?
Okay, I don't have kids. I'm free from that whole dynamic of life! But I *saw* families there, and they seemed to be doing okay. The pool looked decent. No screaming kids, so that's a bonus. Honestly? I think it's more "family-tolerant" than "family-centric." But I'll be honest, it's not like it's a luxury resort, so I can't imagine it's overly loud or chaotic. I'm sure they offer things like cribs and rollaway beds. But seriously, I only spent time looking at the bar! (don't tell anyone.)
And the Pool? Because Let's be Real, Pools Can be a Disaster.
Listen, pools are tricky. They're either freezing, or scalding, or full of questionable substances. The AmericInn's pool? It was... fine. It was indoors, which is a HUGE plus, especially if you go during the Wisconsin winter. The water temperature was ok, a nice middle-ground. It *was* a bit crowded. I saw a few happy kids. And no one seemed to be visibly suffering from any sort of rash, so I'm counting that as a win. Don't expect a luxury spa experience, but it's a decent place to take a dip when you're slightly hungover from all the beer.
Actually, now that I think about it, the pool area also had a hot tub. And let me tell you, a hot tub after a day of brewery hopping? Pure bliss. Even *I* spent a good chunk of time there, and I'm not typically a hot tub person. That said, the jets weren't *super* powerful. Still, I really enjoyed it!
Okay, I'm Sold (Maybe). Any Quirks or Annoyances to Prepare Me For? The Real Dirt!
Alright, the unvarnished truth! The AmericInn isn't perfect. The elevator was a little slow. Okay, VERY slow. Patience, people! And the Wi-Fi wasn't exactly lightning-fast. Prepare to disconnect, or at least lower your expectations for streaming. On the plus side, I did actually manage to get away from the news and just chill out. (This is a huge win for me, by the way.)
The walls are a bit thin. I could hear some… "enthusiastic conversation" from the room next to mine one night. (Hopefully, they had a good time!) Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Seriously. You'll thank me later.
Parking was easy, which is a big deal in my book. Nothing worse than circling a hotel for twenty minutes trying to find a spot. And it’s clean, which is important to me, and the staff were friendly and helpful. But it's not the Ritz-Carlton, you know?
