What guests think

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Eau Claire South draws consistent praise for very clean, quiet rooms and friendly staff, offering a budget stay with basic amenities, convenient highway access, and a simple continental breakfast that many find limited.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with hard floors, while some guests note thin walls, very firm beds, or occasional issues like TV glitches and slow heating. Service is widely described as welcoming and helpful, but a few reviews mention slow or understaffed check-in and isolated billing concerns. The one-level, pet-friendly setup and ample parking suit quick stopovers. Expect a simple, reliable place to rest.

All one level - no stairs. Easy on/off from I-94. Can walk to convenience store, fast food places, Chinese restaurant. Close to but not on busy street, so quiet. Very clean, comfortable if a bit worn.

It's a smaller single-floor hotel, but it works for the region. The place was clean and quiet, and the property was kept up well. We had a dog (and were put in a section of rooms for pets), and even with 2 huskies and a bulldog near us, we didn't hear a thing. Something to note, this place offers a free complimentary breakfast, but it is a little on the spartan side, but it is enough to get the day going if you aren't picky.

Check in was fast and easy, lots of parking. Building is a bit dated and shows some wear, but room was very clean. Shower had good water pressure. Excellent conditions for the price. Beds are a bit firm, but fortunately that’s to my liking. Walls are thin but a/c unit drowns out noise. Large ceiling included a fan, which was nice. Just needed a place to sleep while passing through, but would stay again!

Hotel is pet friendly— specify rooms for pets and rooms without pets. “Pet friendly / pets allowed rooms” were slightly more per night than a comparable no pet room. Still charged an extra $20.00 pet fee on top of that. Room was very clean. Liked that the pet allowed room was right beside the side exit and a grassy area. The large container of plastic “doggie bags” at the door is a nice touch! Phone in room did not work— discovered this when we could not get tv to work— so had to go to desk for help. After a tutorial at the desk, got tv to function. Nice selection for a continental breakfast, good coffee!!! Close to gas station and easy return to highway

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times. The hotel amenities are pretty basic but it has always been very clean, comfortable and quiet. If you’re looking for a quality place to get a good night’s sleep on a budget, this place can’t be beat. Many amenities near the hotel and south side of Eau Claire.

This was one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in through my 64 years. Alan checked us in and was a very accommodating, respectful and kind young man. There were so many choices for dining and all within a couple of miles. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Many hotels could take lessons from this Econo Lodge in the proper care and running of a hotel.

I always like having a refrigerator and microwave. The refrigerator was larger than other hotels that I have stayed at. The room was spacious, clean and affordable. They had a continental breakfast, I would describe it as sparce. Not much to choose from. I forgot to put the only charger for my tablet back in my suitcase when I left. I called the next day and they mailed it back to me. 5 STAR

This hotel was affordably priced and located in just the right spot for getting to and from, on and off the highway. The room was huge and comfortable but not sound proof at all which made sleeping tricky. Noise from the hallway and from the parking lot was very disruptive.

The place is simple, clean and the room what you expect for a night motel, you need to rest to continue your journey. Nothing fancy or lucury, basic breakfast, the only issue was the TV kept turned it on by itself, so I just unplugged it. No carpet, which is a huge plus, nice shower too.

Stay was very good EXCEPT, I checked in late. Arrived around 11:30PM and went to the room. It was like an icebox!!! The heat was turned down to 60, and it wasn't that warm in the room. Temp outside was 2!! It took 45 minutes for the room to warm up so I could take off my coat. Not a good hospitality practice.

I stayed here one night over Christmas while coming back from Marshfield where my mom had been hospitalized. They charged my card once for my stay and once in the early morning hours of January 3 - a little over a week later. I had paid with my phone and didn’t even think that was possible but somehow they did it so I would be very careful if you stay here. Watch for fraudulent charges, even if you’re using your phone to pay.

The guy who works mornings at the front desk said "2 locals? Eww" to the other staff checking us in as I was right there in front of him. He was super fake nice the other interactions until this morning he said "this really needs to be your last night here" after my husband and I had extended our reservation a couple of times.... We\'re quiet, friendly, keep to ourselves and are clean. I just don\'t think it\'s very kind or customer service oriented to act like that towards your paying customers. It really rubbed us both the wrong way. Other than him, the other staff were all very sweet and helpful. The place itself is very nice, clean and welcoming.

The overall atmosphere of the hotel was excellent and the beds were super comfortable. However, it appeared to be understaffed as I had to wait about 20 minutes at the front desk for someone to show up. I then discovered the front desk attendant cleaning rooms. Breakfast was also pretty sparse and the front desk attendant seemed to be responsible for that too!

This hotel is kind of tucked away and pleasantly so. I love that its only one level, so no guests to go stomping over your head. Very quiet and really clean. Stayed 2 nights and woke up without any red bites. So 10 stars for that. Conveniently located to major roadways and restaurants and a Kwip Trip. What more can you ask for. I didn't get his name when I checked in but the cutie with the blue streaks is so sweet and pleasant to talk to. Went up and spoke with Mrs. Jessica and she was very kind in extending my room another night. Amazing stay!!

I was charged $172 for a same day reservation. Out of curiosity I checked the price for the same day of the week, one week later and it was $82. Less than half. Why? The property was not close to full when we stayed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the soap and shampoo was about the smallest I've ever seen. Also about the least stocked breakfast I've ever seen.

It was a really clean Motel and the staff was nice I stayed there three days! They had a small breakfast a few things like Pancakes, Pastry, Yogurt, Fruit, Bagles & ECT. It wasn’t a “Buffet Style Breakfast Like Advertised” but it was enough to get you started in the morning. They had great coffee! They had a bench setting close to the front door and early in the morning the sound of people talking kept me up and it was hard to go back to sleep and the same thing happened at night time. They need to fix that!

Well priced, clean, comfortable motel with quick check in service. Breakfast is very basic- continental, pancake machine, few yogurts, oatmeal, muffins and toast. Coffee could be replenished more frequently, but the front staff also manages the small breakfast area- and during our stay the lady was preoccupied on a personal telephone call.

Very clean rooms, nice and quiet. I know it's cheaper than alot of hotels in the area, but when you pay $90 for a room and it's offered as continental breakfast, having something more than 1 pancake machine is warranted. Bananas, Apples, Bread, cake donuts, etc... are very cheap at Kwik Trip next door and are an option to have a continental breakfast for your guests. Other than that, good stay!!!
