What guests think

Rapids Inn & Suites draws budget travelers with low rates and generally quiet stays, but reviews are mixed: some praise clean, comfortable rooms, while others report smoke odors, worn conditions, and concerns about the property’s environment.

Some guests found check-in easy and staff helpful, though communication barriers and inflexible responses were noted. The location is convenient for town activities and shopping. Expect a basic, no-frills stay with variable standards.

Please don’t even consider this place. Dirty….smelled like mildew and urine combined. Hole in the wall covered by paper. Sketchy other guests appeared to be staying long term? Front door took force to open once closed and the stairs to second floor were loose and broken. Did not feel safe at all.

It was just about what you'd expect from a cheap small-town roadside motel. Be careful if you are bringing a dog, the didn't give any indication of an upcharge on the expedia site but tried to tack on 10 bucks when I arrived. All they need to do is put it on the website. Other than that, the product matched the price and the expectations.

Cleanliness

Housekeeping is inconsistent: several guests found rooms very clean, but others reported dirty bathrooms, strong smoke smells, and maintenance grime. Odors in hallways and rooms were a recurring complaint.

Every night, I walked into my room, and it reeked of cigarettes. I talked to the front desk about changing my room.And they refused, so I asked for a refund, and they told me no no refunds. And then he told me if you want a refund, call the cops.

So, let's be honest, this is the lowest price option in Wis Rapids for a reason. it's a rundown place that needs a rebuild. But, everything was clean, the beds and linens were comfortable. We had a problem opening a window and they were prompt in responding. They also loaned us a fork to eat our carry-out. We were there for the waterski show tournament and just needed a place to sleep. While all the other hotels price-gauge, this place remains cheap, and was available at the last minute.

We stayed one night here. It was fine. The place is old, so we didn't expect it to be in like-new condition. We appreciated that guests were assigned rooms apart from each other, not crowded right next door. This provided a quieter night, because guests were distanced several rooms from each other.

This is what you pay for. It's a old place that needs to be updated. The bathroom was the worst...slippery tub, no soap, no kleenex, and just overall not the cleanest room. Location was good for what we needed and had a large refrigerator!

Arrived and was told they did not have my reservation. Looked through papers and found it. Spent the night to be woken at 3:30 by a guy outside my bedroom window yelling and screaming and arguing with someone. Could not call office due to phone not working. Laid in bed for an hour listening and hoping the guy did not come through my window or door. Finally called 911 and had Police come. By the time the police shows the guy went into his room next door. Could not sleep the night and left early morning with no one in office to complain to.

There is a lot of trash and equipment sitting outside on the sidewalk. The lady at the front desk did not speak English very well and was hard to understand. We did not feel safe as people are hanging around outside and the place just appears "trashy".
