The beds are too high. Unless you're 5'10" or taller, you practically need to jump to get into bed.

It's very hard to get into the beds. My wife had to give me a boost.

The pools/waterpark looked amazing, but, with COVID still running rampant, it's a very good thing that it is closed -- it would be too tempting to go in! It breaks our hearts that this hotel is sitting relatively empty due to the closed waterpark, restaurant and bar. The rooms are fantastic. Several restaurants/bars are within walking distance, so it was not a big deal. Keurig coffee makers in the room, along with a microwave and refrigerator. Beautiful/comfortable furniture (bed, sofa, easy chair/ottoman, desk/chair. Large tv... and breakfast was available mornings until 9:30 (which we did not partake of due to morning appointments). We have no reason to travel back to the Wausau area, but may look for reasons just so that we can stay there again!

We stayed in a "Queen Studio" room that had 2 queen sized beds and a pull out couch bed. The room was surprisingly spacious and could easily fit 6 people if need be. The hotel itself was great- there was a pool & a hot tub (waterpark is closed). The hot tub was also open to adults only from 10-12. While there was free breakfast- we opted to not have it. One gripe we did have was that the bathroom was noticeably not clean upon arrival. We called the front desk and they sent someone up right away to clean it and give us fresh towels. They do not currently clean rooms every night...unless you are there for 3+ nights. Overall, our stay was perfect for what we were looking for, and we will most likely stay again!

I stayed at bantr in Rothschild, WI, from Thursday, May 7 to Saturday, May 9, 2026, and it was…read moregenuinely the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I booked a specific room layout for my family of four: a king bedroom with a door and a queen loft, because that setup was necessary for our sleeping arrangements with two children. Shortly after arrival, the bathroom attached to the king bedroom developed a strong sewer-gas smell. It started as a dirty-drain odor and became so bad it was nearly vomit-inducing. We also found visible black mold-like growth in the shower, which I photographed. At about 9:45 p.m., I called the front desk. The employee working that night was kind and tried to help, but there was no equivalent room available. Because my kids could not sleep in the room with the sewer odor, we ended up split between multiple rooms: my husband stayed in the original room/loft area, while my kids and I moved to two separate king rooms across the hall. This was not what I booked or paid for, and it left me extremely uneasy because my children are only 9 and 14. We had to move rooms around 11 p.m., and none of us slept well. The next morning, I spent about an hour at the front desk trying to figure out a solution. There still was not an appropriate replacement room. Then, when I tried to shower in one of the replacement rooms, I found more visible black mold-like growth in that shower. I checked my children's room and found mold-like growth in their shower too. So at that point, the original room had a sewer-gas issue, and both replacement rooms had showers that appeared unsanitary. Later that day, the sewer smell returned in the original room and was even stronger. Maintenance was unavailable by then. We also tried to use the second bathroom in the original room, but the shower water pressure was so low that the water only trickled out and was not usable for showering. There were additional issues as well: animal hair on the carpet in one of the rooms, my children having allergy symptoms, an unleashed dog approaching me and putting its head into my car door, and at least one stairwell light not working at night, which I photographed. What makes this even more concerning is that other online reviews mention similar problems, including odors, mildew/mold concerns, shower problems, poor room condition, cleanliness issues, and rooms not matching what guests expected or paid for. Based on that, it is hard to believe management is unaware of these recurring problems. My experience does not appear to be an isolated incident. We ended up leaving early on Saturday because the stay had become unbearable. I have stayed in many hotels over the years, and I have never experienced anything like this: sewer-gas odor, visible mold-like growth in multiple showers, unusable showers, poor cleaning, and safety concerns all during the same stay. I paid $1,086.20 for a room type that I did not actually get to use as intended. The hotel's temporary room arrangement did not fix the problem; it only forced my family into a stressful workaround caused by the condition of the original room. If other guests experience similar health, safety, sanitation, or room-condition issues and the hotel does not resolve them fairly, I would strongly encourage them to document everything with photos, keep all receipts and written communication, and consider disputing the charge with their credit card company. Guests should not have to pay full price for unsafe or unsanitary accommodations. I would also recommend contacting the local building inspector and health department, which is exactly what I am doing. I would NOT recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Time for an upgrade! This is a first... I have never given 4 reviews for one business.... But with…read morethe work they put in they deserve it! I stay here occasionally and I have seen this place go from outdated and drab to a complete reification. Sure, it's still not a 5 star luxury hotel, but I give them great credit for making such a big (needed) change. Rooms are now fresh, comfortable and clean. New amenities throughout the room and the bathroom (which is all new). Lobby is more open and inviting and they have now opened a new adjoining restaurant (which I haven't tried yet). Unfortunately the free continental breakfast is gone, but that wasn't a big draw anyway. Nice to see the effort... should pay off!

Based on my co-worker's opinion, I decided to give this location a shot. My first experience at a…read moredifferent location was terrible but it did seem to be more of a management issue (lack of) than anything else. I use Priceline or Orbitz when booking hotels so the rate I paid was considerably lower than their standard rates. Something to consider when giving them 3 stars. Pros: this location is in a safe area, walking distance from pick n save, restaurants, movie theater and convention center which is very convenient. The lobby was clean, the front desk man was friendly and helpful. You could see several cameras covering most of the hotel areas. No offensive odors in the hallway or entrances. I didn't use the pool but it seemed acceptable. My room was big, included a fridge, microwave and sitting area. The bathroom was half renovated half outdated. Overall clean and no major issues with it. For the price I paid I was satisfied. Cons: it seems to be a standard thing for Motel 6 to have the cheapest, oldest, smallest towels. All of them had stains and you only get two tiny towels. I immediately requested for towels and sheets to be changed. I didn't see stains or hair on the sheets, but based on my previous experience I wasn't taking any chances. The mattress is not very comfortable. If they updated the mattresses and the towels I think I would give them 4 stars. The parking lot is not well taken care of when it comes to ice. So careful when unloading your car, it can be very slippery. I noticed the exit doors weren't locked during the day. It seemed to be a very safe location but I still prefer locked doors. I really didn't have any major issues with this location. Having a fridge and a microwave is a huge plus in my book. I am considering staying here again in March when I have to come back for work.
