Best Western Plus Wausau Tower Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A unique property, being tower shaped. We enjoyed the spacious room on the top floor. Elevator service very helpful! Check in was quick and efficient, with all available staff offering excellent hospitality. We found the lounge and outdoor patio area particularly enjoyable! Gas fired fireplace and a full moon over the buildings were a highlight! The morning breakfast was wonderful with hot entrees of eggs, sausage and potatoes. Waffles and fresh fruit and coffee made the meal very enjoyable! We'll select this property when we need to stay in the area again!"
