About this place Reliance Inn

Reliance Inn is a functional, budget mainstream motel on South 17th Avenue in Wausau, central Wisconsin. It is listed as gay-friendly; it is not a gay venue. Rooms are simple, there is a small exercise room, and Wi-Fi is free. The Google rating of 3.4 across more than 900 reviews suggests a basic, mixed experience, so read recent reviews first. It is a car-based location on the west side of town, a few minutes' drive from downtown Wausau, and handy for Rib Mountain and Granite Peak in winter.

The furniture is older and pillows aren’t the best but it’s very clean and the staff and owners are very nice and friendly. I had a great stay and will return when need. They also have a great discount program.

Got harassed multiple times by the front desk. The first time it was for sitting on the stairs, and the next time was for talking on my phone.

Here on working business trip in the area, I was told by front desk of a returned deposit and it hasn't return yet. I left the room in good shape there was no need to keep my deposit. Reliance just lost a return customer because I have to work in this area on certain days and this is where I had planned to stay.
