We’ve been here two years in a row now and we plan to keep coming Its basically ON the Granite Peak ski hill, (which we love for snowboarding weekends) and the amenities are great! Fireplaces and full kitchens available in units! We would be sad if we had to room anywhere else while snowboarding at Granite Peak My husband and son can walk to and from the mountain multiple times a day while wave to them from the (very spacious) outdoor hot tub ^_^ relaxing

Great hotel The room looked and smelled clean, everything was in good working order, the towels were fresh, the carpet clean I booked a room with a jacuzzi which was great to soak in after skiing all day, and the jacuzzi was great although it was bubbles only, no jets

This place also has a really great pool area by hotel standards, including a 10 person hot tub A very good deal for the price Reiterating the cleanliness part, it seems basic but it’s a clear priority at this establishment Recommended and hope to be back

Jordan Eckholm

Awesome I came with my grandparents on a road trip, and we needed somewhere to stay We went here and when we walked inside, It felt like a cozy nice hotel

The rooms were great, with everything you would need in a house in one room I liked the breakfast too, as it was free and easily accessible I loved the pool, as the are designated for the pool is a large wide open space with lots of windows The water was warm, and the pool was also large for a hotel I would definitely stay here again

Sara Bella

Limited rooms available but the parking lot was never full The front desk was friendly with checking us in Our room was nice and clean

Was great to see a microwave and fridge in the room The bed was hard as a rock and the 4 pillows on the bed where to soft and tiny The morning breakfast had a large selection and had someone filling and cleaning The pool area is was nice and large with lots of setting but is in need for renovations The air was not circulated properly causing it to steam up and smell heavily of chemicals It was to hot and steamy to set and watch the kids play

First problem the air conditioner didn’t work If you turned it on it made a horrible noise every 30 seconds I tried opening the window’s, only one opened and the bottom of the screen’s were ripped out, So next my wife took a shower and the drain was plugged so after a few minutes in the shower you were standing in 3-4 inches of dirty water

The toilet had a yellow stain behind the toilet seat, most likely urine, When I brought all this to the attention to the management he gave me 10 dollar’s off a 100 dollar rate, I would never stay here again, way too expensive for what I got Motel 6 would be a better choice and a lot cheaper than this hotel

We enjoyed the breakfast, which is included with the stay We also utilized the pool and hot tub The beds were comfy and the shower hot

We appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel as well Our only complaint, really, was that the hot tub was like a warm bath and not very hot It would have been nice to be a little warmer but we still enjoyed the pool area and “hot” tub experience We liked that this area was also open late and again early in the morning We don’t have children, but I could see kids enjoying the amenities as well Also, the price for the room was very reasonable We’d most likely return if we pass through the area again

Michael Janowicz

Considering the age of the hotel it was well maintained and not too tired We had the Spa tub suite and it was acceptable Could use some better furniture but okay

Toilet was dirty had hair and a stain but tub and shower where clean Bedding was clean and fresh Overall nice Staff was super friendly and seemed to enjoy working here even being very short staffed Breakfast was okay The pool area was nice Location was good for getting around the Wausau area No restaurant but places close by We would return

Edward Rios

Super friendly staff in the nice, clean hotel The woodsy decor is really nice and makes the place cozy Breakfast was not spectacular but was good: hot eggs, biscuits, pancakes

The eggs were a little dry and the juices weren’t the tastiest, unfortunately The lock on the door barely worked and had to get help from the staffOverall, however, I would definitely stay again and really enjoyed the stay

It was ok til The hotel was nice don’t get me wrong I was there for traveling and the price was very high for a monthly rental

I love the fact tat it was pet friendly, but if people our staying there with there dogs I should not have to watch were I step or smell dogs mess coming into the hotel And also for it being such a big hotel or old water park need to add more washer and dryers and no dogs allowed in work out room Staff our very friendly and welcoming

Good afternoon,We have stayed at Bantr before in the past when it was The Grand Lodge I knew there was a Waterpark there and wanted to treat my children to a fun weekend Upon arrival at Bantr I learned that the Waterpark had closed permanently

When I made the reservation, there was no indication that the Waterpark area had closed Thankfully the main pool and hot tub were still available so that my family could still enjoy some time in the waterHowever, there were still other issues We only had one roll of toilet paper for 5 people when we showed up We tried to call the front desk for more but the phone had been disabled The drain for sink in the entry area could be heard leaking onto the wood below it The TV in the main room was not properly set-up so we were unable to watch it the first night Once again, the phone was not in service to tell anyone that night And lastly The larger TV in the private king bed room is failing The volume couldn’t be controlled at one point, the TV volume got loud all on its own and could not be turned down until the TV was unplugged, the screen would turn pink after having the TV on for a couple minutes, and then toward the end it would just say no signal until it was turned off and then back on againAll in all, we made the best of the stay but was not worth the price I paid for a poorly maintained room  I see no reason why I should return or tell my friends to go I can however, tell them about our experience with it now being Bantr? Or maybe i shouldn’t Perhaps you still have things to sort out since you have become the new owners Either way, I wish you success with your journeySincerelyThe Liedl Family

I’m writing this review not because i want to but because i need to What this company did is completely destroy and likely permanently hurt the community of Rothschild This place used to be the GrandLodge, with waterpark lodgers landing

This company came in and permanently closed what was a staple for our community This hotel is responsible for destroying the Rothschild community and should reap what they sow for closing there waterpark You want to destroy our community, You know that waterpark was one of the main sources for bringing business into Rothschild Your closer of that waterpark and rebranding is gonna effect EVERYONE And i hope EVERYONE who works for this company realizes that I encourage them to RE-Open the waterpark, and save the place, they have time to do it But until that happens i will not remove this review You have hurt the Rothschild area, NOT Just your hotel and the waterpark and people who loved the waterpark But businesses who relied on that waterpark and hotel resort to bring guests to Rothschild such as stores, restaurants, gas stations, ect I hope your happy with yourselves

The hotel across the street has waterslides You can see it from your window, but I wouldn’t suggest looking cuz it’ll just make you sadBut for real, they have a decent breakfast in the morning, hot tub, pool, small gym, laundry on site, the rooms are usually decent enough size with a 2 burner stove, microwave, decent sized fridge/freezer (its not a mini one), tiny sink for washing dishes, small amount of cabinet/drawer space with dishes/silverware, there’s usually a toaster up in one of the cupboards

There’s a Pick N Save like 5 mile away so you can stock up on groceries Id suggest making your own food instead of eating out all week while you’re doing your carpentry training

Derek Bickford

This was an outstanding place to stay for our overnight Adequate parking with handicap access Clean comfortable and quiet Hotel Lots of amenities that will make glad you stayed here

This hotel also offers a full breakfast with sausage fried American potatoes eggs and waffles This was our first time and I will stay here again when I am in the Wausau Wisconsin area

Honest Reviews

La Quinta Inn in Wausau Wisconsin was one of THE BEST experiences we’ve had at a hotel EVER They were able to book us a room very last minute and were able to accommodate our dog as well, they are very straight forward with pet fees and were one of the few TRUE dog friendly hotels we could find that didn’t have hidden rules The rooms were very clean and so were the pool and hot tub! This hotel has got it going on with it’s awesome location, cleanliness, and the AMAZING STAFF (Thank you Joe, Nick, Buck, Kat, Susan, and Therese) it was so refreshing to see their smiling faces and having friendly conversations as we would pass

it truly is the little things that make it SOO much better This hotel is going to be our go to when we make our trips up there and I think it should be yours too!!

Adrian X

Check-in was quick Front worker friendly No elevators, that i could find, but not needed since 2 floors only

Bathroom area nicely renovated but rest of room bit outdated Fridge + microwave a huge plus Tv smaller but what really annoyed me was how low it was in relation to bed Very uncomfortable if trying watch tv in bed If just crashing for night, this place fine If planning more time in room, prob better off w/other properties

amy gutowski

Really nice staff both at check in and in the morning Love that the check out time is noon We often arrive late after driving to Wausau after work as we make our way to visit relatives in Hurley, WI (we live in Milwaukee)

Being able to sleep in and relax and swim in the morning is wonderful Would’ve given a 5 star rating but the water in the pool was really cold and the hot tub was only luke warm We swam, but our lips turned blue haha If the pool would’ve been warmer, and if the hot tub would’ve been hot it would have been a perfect stay

We had our wedding here Would NOT recommend All of our family’s rooms did not have air conditioning (broken), continental breakfast was to be served, but workers did not show up for that in the morning

The rooms to get ready in for the bridal parties were absolutely disgusting, not cleaned from the previous event Dinner was served 2 hours late, and bar was closed for 2 hours when it was supposed to be open Guests left the wedding to go get drinks at another bar On top of this, management was terrible to deal with after the fact Barely refunded any money, was completely rude and entitled If you’re looking to get married in wausau, do NOT go here

Ty Ebert

I grew up around Wausau, and was always familiar with Jefferson Street inn I finally got around to trying out the restaurant that’s in the hotel and they did not disappoint This was a later meal with some associates that were staying at the hotel

The dining area is very well put together and they present the food almost like a steakhouse The two women running the bar and the dining area were very polite and I feel like we made a very good impression about the Wausau area I will definitely point more people towards staying at the hotel and hopefully grabbing a meal here

They are lucky to get a 2 star from me We stayed for 2 nights Had a nice group of us here

Wanted to play cards by the pool and swim 1st night was ok Bar wasn’t open Was told it’s only open 2 days a week Don’t advertise you have a bar right in the hotel and only have it open 2 days a week And Friday and Saturday’s are not any of them days! We went out to dinner Saturday come back to the pool roped off The pool area opened up for a birthday party and they trashed it Puked in the pool and they left all there drink and food behind No one from the hotel cleaned it up So we couldn’t play cards since all the tables were dirty! It was nasty! They were nice enough to open a back room to let our group play cards (This is why you get 2 stars) Sunday morning it was still trashed in the pool area The showers were lukewarm Our room never cooled down, even set at the lowest setting But thanks for the extra towels Some work needs to be done to this hotel for sure! I wouldn’t stay again until I know it’s been fixed up!

Lidia Kalsow

Staff was nice enoughMy room smelled bad! I couldn’t get used to it It’s loud from the highway but even louder from guests in the pool area so not a place to go as a solo traveler in my opinion

Breakfast was below average The ceiling in the halls has LEAKS! Dripping into trash cans throughout the hallI would expect this from a cheap hotel, not worth the price for sure Will not be returning
