It's within walking distance of the high school so you can walk to the expo and buses. After the race you are bussed back to the school and voila! you are right next to your hotel. They charge $20 an hour for every hour you stay after checkout time of 11PM. They do have a shower you can come and... More

The hotel has an awesome location located right on some of the best snowmobile trails in Wisconsin and you could'nt ask for nicer employees, from Mary at the desk, Brion who was taking care of the pool, the housekeepers and even Al who was plowing the parking lot. All great people who enjoy taking care of their gusets and truely... More

Some breakfast items were not available by 8 AM. I ask if one more Sausage/Egg Biscuit could be provided, but was told No. This is our favorite place of lodging in Eagle River and we will stay with them the next time we are in the Eagle River area. We will stay at this facility the next time we are... More

Nice hotel, good value. We stayed there recently on a snowmobile trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice lobby with an adequate breakfast - about what you would expect. We stayed in a mini suite which was very roomy. The hotel is well maintained and the rooms were clean. Located right on the trail there was plenty of room... More

I have only high praise for the Derby Inn. We needed to stay in Eagle River from mid-week to mid-week in August 2012. Most of the resorts could only accommodate Saturday to Saturday stays. I booked the Derby Inn at a great weekly rate, but didn't know quite what to expect. The first thing that struck me was the overall... More

We have stayed at the Derby in many times over the past couple of years. It is always clean, the service is prompt and very friendly. Even when the hotel is full it is quiet. There is no other place you want to be when in Eagle River.

After a long, cold and snowy drive this hotel was a welcome sight. I've stayed here often and the cleanliness of the rooms, upkeep of room fixtures and overall hotel is excellent. Breakfast is the normal routine and is okay but I appreciate the warm and quiet night's sleep more. Yes, the internet connection is iffy on occasion, but it's... More

This hotel is distinctive due to its large collection of snowmobile championship trophies. Each room is named for a past champion, and includes an autographed photo. The room was typical for such hotels. But Internet service, while fine when we arrived in late afternoon, turned out to be so intermittent after dinner that it proved useless. Also, while the bathroom... More
