AmericInn by Wyndham Chippewa Falls

Clean and Quiet. Breakfast so-so Room very clean and quiet. Breakfast options included items to microwave, i.e., eggs are "rubbery." Coffee is good. I found the bottom of the bathtub slightly slippery when I used it (Rm 209) - not slimy, but could have used a more abrasive base; notified staff. There is a grab bar in the shower.

Random people hanging at the pool At first glance the hotel looked ok at check in. Traveling with my sister and wanted to relax by the pool. It was 3pm when we went to the pool area. The first thing we noticed was 2 gentlemen sitting by a table in the pool area, dressed in coats and long pants and each had a duffel bag on the table. Minutes later they opened the door and let in 2 younger women who also were carrying their overnight bags. Every time one would get up and exit, they would let in another person toting a bag. It was unusual and somewhat unsettling to see 6 men and 2 women all with dufflebags and no pool attire taking up the tables at the pool. The women both went and used the pool restrooms, apparently showering. They then set up their makeup and hair tools and did their personal grooming at the poolside tables. Again none of them had swimwear on and never entered the pool. It was actually a bit scary not knowing why they all had dufflebags and what they were doing there. They all stayed at least 2 hours just taking up the tables and doing their grooming. It was apparent they were either homeless or possibly truck drivers that were using the facilities without having a room. When we returned from dinner we asked the desk clerk if that was common to have so many people just taking up the tables, especially seeing they had several signs saying “pool for registered guests only”. She said they allow open swim from 9-5 daily, so clearly word got around and it was used as a meeting place for homeless that want a shower and shelter. Later we noticed a guy sleeping in his pickup truck in the parking lot and recognized him as one of the pool visitors earlier. So be prepared to share the private pool area to anyone who comes off the street. As for the room, at first glance it looked ok, but when I dropped the remote and had to move the nightstand to retrieve it, I noticed it hadn’t been cleaned in quite sometime. I even found a condom wrapper covered in dust and some random snacks under the bed. Gross. The security lock on our door was broken off and there were pry marks on the door itself…so we jammed a chair under the door to feel a little safer. And for the view from our room…we had a semi trailer parked on the lawn, 4 feet from our window. based on the weeds around the tires and the random graffiti it was clear it had been there for sometime. The hotel itself wasn’t horrible but I wouldn’t spend money to stay there again.

August Vacation American by Wyndham, what’s the clean family friendly reasonably priced hotel chain. The Chippewa Falls location is convenient to everything I do during my vacation time. I plan to stay here in the future.

Nice Property Check-in and check-out were very easy. Breakfast was great. The room was very nice. The staff went out of their way to meet my needs.

Great place for a family stay My family (2 teens + an 8 year old) had a great stay!! The pool area was amazing - there are 3 pools: a regular pool with basketball that goes up to 5 1/2 feet deep, a big water slide that empties into a 3 1/2 feet deep pool, and a zero entry spot for the little ones that also has a little slide. Note - they do not allow food, glass or parties in the pool area. We stayed in a one bedroom king room. I was pleasantly surprised that the separate room had bunk beds instead of a sleeper sofa. I'm not sure if this is true for all th one bedroom king rooms, but it's true for room 214! My teens loved trying out the deep tub (with jets!) in our room. The only thing I didn't like about the room is the actual bathroom is pretty tiny. Otherwise it was great and we didn't feel crowded even with 5 of us in the room. I would definitely stay here again!
