Girls getaway weekend. We came in for the Appleton Octoberfest. The hotel was on the street that…read morethe festival was on. So it was nice not having to drive. Don't worry about noise from the festival Saturday night. The festival ended at 5:30 pm and the city cleaned up the streets so quickly, it didn't even look like anything happened the day before. The staff was so helpful and polite. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable beds. The workout room and hot tub was great. Parking garage next door. Rates for daily parking & in/out parking. Was a bit of maneuvering with the luggage cart to/from the garage to the hotel via the elevator. They use Uber for the complementary ride to the airport. Overall recommend the CopperLeaf.

This is a charming hotel in downtown Appleton that hits the right balance of location (plenty of…read morerestaurants, bars, and coffee nearby), room amenities (refrigerator, microwave, fireplace, coffee maker) and service. I arrived in the evening and didn't know my way around the area to find hotel parking. I called and the service staff came out to point me in the right direction - much appreciated. Speaking of parking, the only bummer is that it isn't attached to the hotel. You're parking in a city owned ramp so anyone can park there. I happened to visit during an unexpected "peak" time because the ramp was very full so that made in/out a little less convenient. Daily rate is reasonable at $6 with $10/day if you want multiple in/out access. Rooms are cozy but quite snug IMO. There isn't much moving around room between the fireplace, desk and armchair. Appreciate all these "extras" but it didn't leave much room otherwise. Small touches like luxury robes and suitcase rack were nice.

My 300 person wedding was held at the Red Lion. Rachel and her team are an absolute pleasure to…read morework with. She was great at answering all of my questions and any last minute fire drills that occurred. We had some guests complain about the rooms - they're a little outdated as is the hotel, but it's right on college avenue and the ballroom is massive which outweighs the outdated rooms. One other thing to keep in mind is the diamond package they offer - although the beer is 'unlimited', if you calculate it out on your own, it's much cheaper to just do kegs and buy them as they go. Overall wonderful experience! Would highly recommend them for any large wedding you are planning.

HAIR, TRASH, GRIME in the room. Stuff LEAKING FROM THE WALLS. I literally wouldn't believe it if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes! The pool area was also so gross. Greasy fingerprints on all of the games. Yes they were remodeling, but non of the things we experienced were because of that! SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Also.. We never mentioned our experience to the front desk. The lady working was always on the verge of tears. Upon check-in, even before she greeted us, she told us that she didn't know what she was doing. They were transitioning to a new system and she had no proper training. Management was not supporting staff and she felt completely overwhelmed. So I guess we just didn't want to add to her stress and be the annoying people complaining to her.

I really like this place. I used to be a Hampton Inn girl. Decided to switch over to Country Inn…read moreand suites. It was a good decision. Refrigerator AND microwave IN the room. Country Inn has a nice breakfast area. They also have a nice hot breakfast to get you going in the morning. The room was just the right size. I chose two queen beds. I really like the shades. One you pull down and you can kind of see through it. It blocks people from seeing in. Then you have the option of pulling the other shade down. That one is a blackout shade. I have to say when you get up in the morning, you have no idea what time it is. Nothing to say about the housekeeping. I really don't like the whole new deal with housekeeping since Covid. Most hotels do not clean your room every day like they used to. Country Inn cleans it every third day unless you request otherwise. I decided to opt out of housekeeping altogether. The shining star of Country Inn is Angel at the front desk. She is kind, friendly and genuine. Any special requests I have made she has been able to meet. She is willing to help you with any problem you might have and try to resolve it. As soon as I walked in a he remembered me and called me by name throughout my stay. That made me feel valued. I'm glad I made the switch to Country Inn. I will be a returning customer.

When I told the desk clerk- he said 25 people had just taken a shower and maybe try at a different time. I tried at all different times but the shower was lukewarm AT BEST. Not enjoyable. It was never fixed so we took cold showers for 5 days. Also the shower water backed up and I personally had to remove the grate and scrape a wad of hair and grossness with a coffee stirrer. And the soap bottle was not refilled so we ran out, and i had to go to the desk again. Lastly they short sheet the beds. Not happy.

Extra shout-out to Lisa, who provided us with amazing recommendations for food and transportation to/from the Packers game! It's a Hilton, so you might already have an expectation based on past experience. Temper this with being in Appleton and it's still living up the reputation. A few minor cons... * We were in the South tower (I think??), and they only have one elevator, which is fairly slow and small. * The escalator up to the parking garage stopped working on our checkout day, so we had to haul our luggage up the steps. (If there was an alternative/elevator nearby, there was no signage indicating this). * The parking facility is across the street from the hotel, which made things a bit confusing. (It wasn't too expensive, though, and it was pretty simple to get in and out). * One of the bars/restaurants looked to be closed the entire time we were there, but again... no signage. All that being said, though, there are huge benefits to staying here! * Super-clean rooms! * Very comfortable living space and beds! * Nice modern design without being pretentious or posh! * Amazing staff!! * A Starbucks on the lobby level near the front desk! * Peak location in downtown Appleton near several bars, restaurants, attractions, and Lawrence University! * Several options in the hotel itself for lounges/restaurants! The next time I stay in town, I will try to book here first! It's a great location with great amenities and a focus on quality and excellence!

It took me COUNTLESS searches and tireless research to finally land on the Clarion. Come reviews are not good, but thought we could give it a chance and see. I received an email about our stay, mentioning check-in and such, but no where did it mention that the bridge right off of the college Ave exit off of Hwy 41 to get here is out and you have to go all the way out of your way (4ish miles) to get around it. For a Friday night in a busy area, they should Ed had two people working the desk. The poor soul working had four of us in line and the phone ringing off the hook. He did a great job with keeping his cool and making sure we were aware of everything that came with our rooms. We booked a king bed-room, and it was great. Yes, there are odds and ends for defects and things that COULD be repaired, but everything worked, bed and pillows were comfy, we got vouchers for a yummy buffet breakfast at the restaurant next door, and the atrium area is a really nice ascetic.
