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!

Really good experience with the recently renovated Hilton Appleton Paper Valley. Hilton has done a…read morenice job restoring some of the former glory of the old Paper Valley Hotel after years of neglect under prior management. My guest room was clean and well appointed with modern furnishings. Impeccably cleaned. Friendly staff throughout - from check in to housekeeping. Lombardi's Steakhouse and the Clubhouse bar on-site with cheap parking available via the connected ramp. Pool area and gym could use a little love but they are serviceable.

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.

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. FILTHY. FILTHY. FLITHY! For what you PAY the rooms should at least be clean. This…read morewas literally the WORST experience we have ever had at a hotel! 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.

My group had a great experience at the Franklin Street Inn! We stayed up in the renovated attic…read moreroom and there was plenty of space for our group of 5. This room is likely suited for a honeymooning couple, but the 5 of us enjoyed the space and privacy from the rest of the Inn. The owners couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and their breakfast was really great! Plus, they were alums of Miami University, just like 4 of the 5 of us. We enjoyed chatting with the owners and sitting out on the porch during a rain storm. We did have trouble figuring out the lock system, but the owners promptly helped us out with that. The Inn is within short walking distance of Lawrence, a beautiful little liberal arts college, and the downtown Appleton area with shops and restaurants. If I ever find myself in Appleton again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Franklin Street!

I would really like a manager to contact me on how they can possibly make things right! My partner is in a wheel chair and relies on this service to get to and from medical appointments. I can not recall all the times that they have failed him. Last year they abandoned him at an appt and he had to wait hours to get picked up. Last week an idiot driver locked their keys on the van and he had to cancel a dentist appt and reschedule a month and a half later. To top it off, just today the driver drove right past him and is still heading into the wrong state. He will miss a pre op surgical appointment now and gave to cancel the surgery. This is unacceptable! It's a joke that insurance companies use their services. Laughable! Negligent hiring practices.
