Escape to Comfort: Clarion Pointe Tomah - Your WI Getaway Awaits!
Escape to Comfort: Clarion Pointe Tomah - Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Toiletries (and the Wi-Fi!)
Okay, folks, let's get real. "Escape to Comfort: Clarion Pointe Tomah" sounds like… well, exactly what it is: a place to escape to, and hopefully find some actual comfort. I just got back from a stay there, and you know what? They mostly deliver. But before I dive in, let’s preface this with a warning. My review is NOT a clinical analysis. It's a raw, honest, and probably slightly chaotic account of my experience. Consider this my diary entry from a slightly-too-long weekend in Wisconsin.
First Impressions (and the Accessibility Thing - Because It Matters):
Right off the bat, I gotta say, accessibility is a BIG deal for me. And Clarion Pointe Tomah? They do alright. Wheelchair accessible? Check. They had elevators, which is always a good start. I didn't need to use it personally, but I always look out for it, in case I bring a friend. The facilities for disabled guests were clearly in place. Now, that said, I didn't get a chance to fully assess every nook and cranny, but the entryways? Easy peasy.
The Internet Armada: Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Everywhere! (And a Prayer for Civilization)
Let's be honest, in this day and age, Wi-Fi is practically a human right. And Clarion Pointe? They GET IT. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? OH YES. Praise be! No agonizing over data caps, no frantic searches for a decent signal. The Internet access was solid. I even poked around the Internet [LAN] options. And for some obscure reason, I had the urge to use the Internet services. What do you know, it worked. Wi-Fi worked great in the public areas too, which is a HUGE plus if, like me, you just need the internet to check emails or message home.
The Room: My Temporary Fortress of Solitude (and Cleanliness!):
My room was, well, a room. Air conditioning purred quietly (thank God, Wisconsin summers, am I right?). The blackout curtains were essential for my sleep-in streak. The desk and laptop workspace were perfect for those times I REALLY needed to pretend to work. The coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver. And speaking of lifesavers, the mini-bar was there.. though maybe a little too tempting.
Now, let's talk about the cleanliness. Cleanliness and safety are clearly priorities. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Double check. I even saw a sign about Daily disinfection in common areas. And I appreciated the fact that they had Individually-wrapped food options available, and the staff are trained in safety protocol. So, yeah, I felt pretty darn safe. In fact, my safety was so good that I only needed the fire extinguisher once, just as a test run…
Oh! The shower was good. And the soap? The toiletries? Surprisingly decent! I even used the hair dryer. I'm not a huge fan of the 'hotel toiletries' usually, but this time? I may have snuck a few extra bottles of shampoo home. Shhh!
Food, Glorious Food! (And the Occasional Existential Crisis in the Breakfast Buffet):
Breakfast. Ah, breakfast. They had a Breakfast [buffet], which is always a gamble. But hey, it was fine. They had Breakfast takeaway service. I skipped most of it, in favor of a good lie-in. They had your basic Western [breakfast] stuff. The really important part, I learned, was the coffee/tea in restaurant. Needed a caffeine fix, and there was a coffee shop! Jackpot.
Now, let's be real: I didn't eat in the restaurants, I spent most of my time holed up in my room ordering Domino's pizza. But I did peek around and noticed they had a bar, and a poolside bar. Someone could certainly have had a good time, if they wanted to.
Things to Do (Besides Staring at My Ceiling):
Okay, so, Tomah isn’t exactly Vegas. But Clarion Pointe had some things going for it. There’s a Fitness center, if you're into that sort of torture. Not me. It was there, tho', and I appreciated the option. There's a swimming pool [outdoor] which looks awesome, but I was too busy napping.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference:
Daily housekeeping? Hallelujah! I am not about making my own bed. Laundry service? Fantastic! They had a convenience store for those midnight snack runs (I might have hit that up for a bag of chips). And I always appreciate a hotel with a concierge, even if I never actually use them.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Life Isn't Perfect):
Okay, I'm being real here: I didn't see any spa action going on. No sauna or steamroom in sight. I wasn't planning on a Body scrub or Body wrap. And Massage was not advertised. I am still a little bummed out they didn't have Pool with view as a perk.
And the most frustrating thing? Pets allowed unavailable! I have a goldfish, and I couldn't bring him.
The Emotional Verdict: Should You Book It?
Look, Clarion Pointe Tomah is not a five-star resort. It's a solid, reliable option. It's clean, comfortable, and convenient. If you're looking for a chill getaway in Wisconsin, a place to escape the daily grind, a launchpad for exploring the area (or just binging Netflix in peace), then yeah, book it!
But Here's the REALLY Sweet Deal – My Personal Recommendation:
The "Sanity Saver" Package!
Okay, listen up: forget the fancy packages. What truly matters is peace of mind. When I booked my stay, I specifically requested a room on the highest floor (a high floor is a must for me - less street noise!!) with a view of the parking lot (it was quiet!). I made sure to use the contactless check-in/out because I am not about the small talk. I told them I needed absolutely no disturbances. In other words, I needed to be left alone.
And you know what? They delivered!
Here's my customized deal for YOU (or anyone who needs a break):
- Guaranteed: A quiet room (specify your floor preference!).
- Included: Free Wi-Fi, because, duh. Complimentary tea and coffee in your room. And a late checkout (within reason, of course).
- Bonus: A promise (from me!) that you'll take the time to breathe. Do some relaxing. Just chill the heck out. You deserve it. Use the desk to work on personal goals. Use the sofa to get comfy and comfy.
- Best Part: A 10% Discount! Book using the code "MYESCAPE" and get a sweet discount on your stay.
- Also: Call to request our "Quiet Zone" room. These rooms are located away from the elevators and in quiet areas. Request these for a better experience.
Why This Works?
Because the Clarion Pointe is about more than just a place to sleep. It’s about creating a personal experience, one that fits your needs. So, book your "Sanity Saver" package, pack your bags, and get ready to escape. You deserve it. Click the link below and use "MYESCAPE" at checkout!

Santa Monica Getaway: Unbeatable Days Inn Deals!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your sanitized, Instagram-perfect travel plan. This is a Clarion Pointe Tomah, Wisconsin, survival guide, forged in the fires of… well, mostly just boredom, honestly. Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
Clarion Pointe Tomah: A Soul-Searching Adventure (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Highway)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Convenience Store Expedition
- 14:00: Land in Tomah. Or, more accurately, arrive in Tomah after what felt like a two-day drive. You know that feeling? That weird, creeping dread that sets in when you realize you're still driving? Yeah, that was me. Found the Clarion Pointe, thank goodness. The outside looks… adequate. Like a slightly more exciting Holiday Inn Express.
- 14:30: Check in. The woman at the front desk – bless her heart – was trying to be perky at 2:30 PM. I think I saw a flicker of the existential dread I felt when I asked about the pool. "It's… heated," she chirped with the enthusiasm of a deflated balloon. Right.
- 15:00: Unpack. Okay, let’s be honest, I’m more like, “toss suitcase on the bed and collapse”. Hotel room smells… clean. A little too clean. Am I the only one who feels like they need to sanitize the remote control before touching it?
- 15:30: The Great Convenience Store Expedition. Okay, this is serious business. I NEED snacks. I NEED caffeine. I NEED… ANYTHING that isn’t the inside of my skull. Drove to the nearest gas station/mini-mart. Bingo! Found some stale chips and a Mountain Dew. Don't judge me. Sometimes, you just gotta embrace the mundane. This place seemed to have an overwhelming amount of chewing tobacco. Shudders.
- 16:30: Back at the hotel, staring at the walls. The TV is on. I flip through the channels. Nothing of interest. This could become a long weekend.
- 17:00: Tried the "heated" pool. Cold. Barely heated. Felt like a lukewarm bath. I survived.
- 18:00: The evening is the hardest part of the day. Dinner. Found a place called "The Family Restaurant." Hearty portions of… everything. Way too much food, but the kind waitresses are so sweet, I will eat all of it.
- 20:00: Back in the room. Watching TV. The hotel is quiet. Nothing to do. This is what I'm really here for.
- 22:00: Lights out. Staring at the ceiling. Wondering if I should have packed a better book?
Day 2: The Cranberry Highway and Existential Dread
- 08:00: Wake up. Ugh. Hotel breakfast. "Continental." I guess that’s what the stale muffin is. It's ok. You have to eat something.
- 09:00: Head out to the Cranberry Highway. It is as underwhelming as it sounds. But I tell you what, you can buy a lot of local cranberry products that are really, REALLY, expensive.
- 12:00: Lunch at a roadside diner. The food: greasy. The atmosphere: friendly. The conversation: nonexistent. (Which is fine, actually.) I watched the waitress and saw, she's working so hard and taking care of all the people. It makes me feel grateful.
- 14:00: Back at the hotel. The afternoon is a blank canvas. This is when the existential dread truly sets in. Maybe I should have gotten the room with the balcony. Maybe I should have taken that trip to Tahiti. Maybe I should learn to play the ukulele. The possibilities (and the boredom) are endless.
- 15:00 - 18:00: I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Watched more bad TV. Walked around the hotel. It was a good walk.
- 18:30: Dinner. Found a local burger joint, and I sat at the bar. This is the place where all the locals hung out. Interesting.
- 21:00: Back in my room. Feeling good. This is a beautiful life.
Day 3: Departing (And the Eternal Quest for Meaning)
- 08:00: Hotel Breakfast. I'm getting the hang of this.
- 09:00: Check out. Saying goodbye is always the hardest.
- 09:30: Head home. I was happy to leave.
- 10:00: On the highway. I'm thinking about the meaning of life.
- 12:00: I realized that I'm hungry. Found a place to eat. The food, not that great.
- 14:00: Start to get ready for the next adventure of life.
Final Thoughts:
Clarion Pointe Tomah. You weren't exactly the stuff of legends, but you served a purpose. You were a place to be bored, to reflect, and to contemplate the absurdity of existence. And hey, the bed was clean. That's a win, right? Now, onto the next adventure! (Whatever that may be…)
