Sacramento (SMF) to Mosinee (CWA)

7/10 Good! (213 reviews)

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C system worked well and very quietly. Water in the shower was not hot and the water pressure was poor, so I didn’t get the warm relaxing shower before bed that I was hoping for. There are no elevators. All told, I got good value for my money.

In town for a wedding and the Inn at Sentry was a perfect Basecamp. Beautifully maintained, spacious suites with excellent dining options. A little pricier than the average hotels but worth every penny.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (140 reviews)

I just needed a place to sleep and this Inn more than fit the bill. Easy no-contact check in. Spacious. Clean. A couple bugs got in but that’s to be expected in that area and not an issue with the hotel. The room had a fly swatter. I found the beds to be comfortable. If I find myself in that area again I would stay there. It’s a quick walk across the street to a gas station for ice, food, anything else you may need. I read some reviews beforehand about noise, so I brought ear plugs but honestly I didn’t hear much of anything from the neighboring units.
