What guests think

At Reliance Inn, reviews describe a budget, no-frills stay with consistently low prices, many remarks about friendly staff, and mixed impressions of room quality and noise alongside differing experiences with maintenance.

Cleanliness is inconsistent, with many clean-room notes but recurring complaints about stained linens and odors, plus occasional reports of pests and worn common areas. Rooms are simple and dated, with thin walls and frequent noise; maintenance and amenities can be hit-or-miss, including heat or A/C, Wi‑Fi, TVs, and small bathrooms, while a few suites feature jacuzzis. Facilities are simple—parking is usable though sometimes messy, smokers linger near entrances—and on-site food is minimal (coffee, paid waffles, and pizzas), while the location is convenient to highways, shops, and the hospital. Expect a simple stopover with trade‑offs in comfort and consistency.

We booked a Jacuzzi suite, the tub was fantastic. The bed was super soft. Staff was nice especially the lady that checked me in. We couldn't ask for better service. Downsides: the bathroom is itty bitty, there was only one chair (desk chair) in the room, and no coffee in room. We would happily stay here again.

I found a bed bug in my hotel bed after staying the night. I took a picture and showed it to the front desk. They did not apologize or offer any type of refund/credit, just said “thank you for letting us know”. Besides the bug in the bed, the floor was very unclean and greasy. The hotel room is not sound proofed at all and you can hear everything. Very noisy and difficult to get a good nights sleep. Would not recommend this location and am very disappointed by my experience.

WiFi sucked. It kept disconnecting so couldn’t use iPad. A/C didn’t work. Wanted to put on fan for a little to cool down room but wouldn’t turn on. Good price so that’s why I stayed here. Was worth what I paid. Bed was fine other than spots on sheets and looked like a spot of makeup. I’d stay again just don’t be too picky.

The first room I went into smelt like mold, not heavy, but enough to smell it and the front desk had no problem moving me rooms and making sure the room they gave me was clean and it appeared they were cleaning the original asap to make sure it as all taken care of. Actually a very quiet place to stay and was very clean. My only thing is I wish they had coffee pots in the rooms, but I would definitely stay there again.

I've stayed here on and off over the years, for biz stays or to visit at the hospital across the freeway. It's a decent cheap stay, and it's near a very decent grocery store so affordable meals are on hand within walking distance. The outdoor area around the property itself is a little rough looking, and the Wi-Fi feels inferior to using cellular data. If you need a more upmarket stay for whatever reason, there are other options, but if you have to base yourself overnight in Wausaw or an affordable medium term stay then this is a good option for sure. One warning, not much in the way of free breakfast so prepare accordingly.

it was cheap and close to where we wanted to stay but the HOT water wasn't even hot in the morning or afternoon. Hard to get the staff to give me extra towels for the room. No hangers for our stay at the Hotel. Only gave coffee in morning and waffles which I don't like. And you had to pay for them. Could have gone to SAM'S and bout Danish and gave them out.

Pros: it was a room with a comfortable bed and working AC. Bathroom fixtures worked properly. Cons: bathroom was not entirely clean, also a couple hairs in the bed when I arrived. I could never get the TV to work (it turned on but I couldn't get DirecTV to show). The area felt sketchy. No elevator if you need it. Free coffee in the mornings didn't include real milk/cream. Only breakfast available are waffles for $1.25 each. Some of the furnishing were worn. Bottom line: you get what you pay for, and you don't pay for much.

The walls are very thin and I could hear people talking in the next room. They were not loud or anything. I did call at 1100 pm because someone was playing loud music and it did stop within 5 minutes as they went to talk to them. So that was good. I do guess you get what you pay for. The room was clean. No coffee maker in room, none available until 6:00 am. Luckily I always bring my own instant Starbucks in case the coffee is bad and used a cup in my car to heat up water in the microwave. Very nice that there was a fridge and microwave

Clean, fairly nice rooms! HOWEVER, there were homeless looking people all over around it. It appears they rent by the month too, because there were people who only owned bicycles living there. Most of the vehicles were beaten up and rusty from the 1990's. They make you pay $50 deposit in cash (for instant refund) or you have to wait for it to be returned on your card (a bunch of baloney, especially what if we were on a tight travel budget. Then I had to wait for them to leave, go check the room, and come back to get my money back. They said breakfast times, but you had to pay $1.75 for each waffle you ate. I was concerned about our car all night as there were homeless looking people sitting around it! There was a BBQ grill in the middle of the parking lot. I would recommend go somewhere else, but if all is booked, it would be OK.
