Best Western Inn

Just a quick getaway to see the fall colors turned into such a nice experience when we checked in to the Best Western in Rice Lake,WI. We were greeted at the door by the owner Tom who immediately produced two bottles of water for myself and my wife. We began the checkin process with the manager Lori and Tom offered us each a beer, my wife accepted immediately while I was trying to figure this out, (who is ever greeted in this manner especially at an unassuming Best Western ?) Tom comes back with a frosted mug and pours my wife a bottle of ice cold Spotted Cow, a beer we cannot buy in Minnesota. I caved in right away after seeing this and accepted his offer! Com’on, who could refuse this? After some friendly conversation we asked for dining recommendations, Lori made reservations for us at the supper club that was next door to the motel. (this was a great dining experience) we left the lobby area and headed to our room and noticed how clean everything was, no dust anywhere, nothing out of place, no marks on the walls, no offensive odors, everything was so well kept! This wasn’t just in the lobby and hallway areas, when we got to our room we found it to be in the same condition! everything was clean to the point that you didn’t have to worry about the remote for the tv because it was one of the newer “clean remotes” with one continuous smooth surface that can be wiped clean. All the little things and attention to detail were evident everywhere. Tom and his staff have done a fantastic job with the changes they have and continue to make at this motel. There are a lot of lodging choices in the area and this certainly is not on a lake or in the woods and it does not have a pool and if that’s not a priority, this is an excellent place to stay. Cory the dayside guy will go hot of his way to make sure you have everything you need and does a great job with the very generous continental breakfast. If you need a place to base your activities out of, need a clean place for a weekend getaway, or are on business or just traveling through, I can only say that you will not be disappointed staying here! I don’t write many reviews, but we were so impressed with everything that I could not ignore what we had just experienced and had to share it. Best regards, Jim & Teresa Nelson less

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious with pleasant decor. The breakfast is one of the best with hot scrambled eggs and waffles plus fresh bananas and oranges plus the usual cereals. The dining area is spacious as to not overhear others conversations.Coffee and juice is available after breakfast hours. less

Best Western did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome. Love the people of Rice Lake Wisconsin at the Best Western there. So friendly and welcoming, would have a hard time staying anywhere else in that community less

Spent two night at this BW. All staff was welcoming and were very attentive. We adk d about putting bikes under the overhang, and they said we could without hesitation. Only negative, and nothing they can solve ... Needs some more restaurants in walking distance. Family Restaurant was across neighboring parking lot, so it was good. less

I travel every week, this by far is the cleanest hotel I have stayed in. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to help. Breakfast had a large variety with real donuts, not those frozen ones most hotels throw at you. Great place to stay. less
