Rodeway Inn and Suites Eau Claire, Eau Claire

The White House Inn has long been an Eau Claire landmark. From it's heyday in the 60s when it was THE place to stay, right through the present time. While no longer the swank establishment of the past, the rooms are very clean, the location is excellent, and the amenities are as good as it gets in a motel. The pool is great, the whirlpool is just fine, and where on Earth can you find a sauna in a motel these days? I love saunas but they are as rare as hen's teeth due to insurance problems nowadays. I chose the white House over several competing motels in the same price range, both for it's amenities and for the nostalgic look. I get pretty tired of looking at the same white box chain motel rooms all the time. The White House Inn has "character". I stay in motels costing upwards of $150 per night regularly. While they are "shiny new", the White House doesn't suffer by comparison if you aren't adverse to "older" & take into consideration the minor flaws such an establishment is going to have. For budget travelers, the White House is emminently affordable.
