Best Western Plus Wausau/Rothschild Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at this location twice and had all good experience all around. The inside is outdated but stays and smells clean constantly. The staff is very friendly. I can’t remember which room I stayed in exactly but I had a king size bed and a pullout couch. Two separate rooms living area had an AC but the king bedroom did not so it was a little stuffy. So I would highly recommend if they would put AC in each room, but other than that, it was comfortable."
