The Staybridge Suites Eau Claire-Altoona is situated just off Highway 53 in Altoona, Wisconsin, just minutes from downtown Eau Claire. We love the hotel for its close proximity to area attractions and activities, budget-friendly rates, complimentary breakfast and evening receptions, pool, free Wi-Fi and — above all else — spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens.

Note that while it’s situated near a highway, noise is never an issue.

The Staybridge Suites Eau Claire-Altoona is an all-suite hotel, which means families can expect spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens! Each suite has a private bedroom with a king bed and bathroom; some bathrooms have shower/tub combos, while others have showers only.

In the living area (which is attached to the kitchen), you'll find a sofa bed and desk. All suites have two flat-screen TVs -- one in the bedroom and another in the living area.

Cribs and rollaway beds are available upon request, and plenty of outlets for charging devices are available throughout each suite.
