Detailed Reviews: Baldwin Area Hotels Reviewed: Full Breakdown
1. AmericInn by Wyndham New Richmond
The Vibe
This 3-star AmericInn punches above its class with a staff score of 9.4 and a garden that’s more restful than the standard parking-lot view. Guests consistently mention the accessible walk-in showers as a standout — particularly for those with mobility needs. It’s a quiet base 8.5 miles from Somerset Amphitheatre and 37 miles from MSP.
What You Actually Get
Free parking’s included, and the indoor swimming pool is open with a 25-person cap (they run a waiting list once it’s full). The free WiFi scores a 9.5, so you’ll actually get work done. Dogs are allowed for a $30 non-refundable fee — cats aren’t mentioned. Breakfast is solid, and the garden offers real outdoor breathing room. Children 18+ are charged as adults; younger kids stay on standard policies.
Choose this if: You’re traveling with a dog or need a property that takes accessibility seriously. The walk-in shower is a rare find at this price point.

2. Radisson Hotel River Falls
The Vibe
Sitting right in downtown River Falls, this 4-star Radisson has location on lock — 9.2 out of 10. Guests rave about walking to the downtown strip for dinner and drinks. The staff scores a 9.0 for being welcoming, and the rooms are spacious. It’s a polished, social hotel with a proper restaurant, not just a continental breakfast cart.
What You Actually Get
The on-site restaurant and bar make it easy to eat without driving anywhere. Breakfast here is “Good” per the data, not just adequate. The fitness center means you can offset the restaurant meals. King suites come with a pull-out sofa; standard kings don’t — so check your room type if you need the extra sleeping space. Pets are allowed with charges, but there aren’t pet-specific rooms. Two TVs in the suite mean no fighting over the remote.
Choose this if: You want to park once and walk to downtown River Falls bars and restaurants. The 9.2 location score beats everything else in town.
3. Baymont Inn Baldwin
The Vibe
Baymont Inn is the budget anchor of this list, sitting at 7.4 overall and a Wi-Fi score of just 5.8 — which means you probably don’t want to stream much. That said, comfort scores a respectable 8.5, and the location (8.6) puts you right in Baldwin. The check-in window runs until midnight, making it the most flexible arrival option here.
What You Actually Get
Continental breakfast is included, and so is free parking. The indoor pool and fitness center add some value, though the property feels more 3-star than its 4-star tag suggests. Pets are welcome — up to two dogs per room, and cats are also allowed. The check-in age is just 18, so younger travelers won’t hit an age wall. The hotel in Baldwin WI market leans heavily on this property for last-minute road trips and late arrivals.
Choose this if: Budget is your primary concern and you’re driving — the free parking and low rates make this a solid pit stop or base for exploring the St. Croix Valley.
4. The Commerce, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The Vibe
Just 1 mile from Tattersal Distillery and Rush River Brewing, this 2-star Trademark Collection property is a brewery-hopping dream. The location scores a 9.0, and the terrace with barbecue grill is a proper hangout, not an afterthought. Guests love the big rooms and quiet weekends. Wi-Fi hits 8.5 — better than the Baymont but not the top.
What You Actually Get
Good breakfast is included, and parking is free on-site. The indoor pool adds year-round value. Pets are allowed on request but not in the King Whirlpool Suites — only specific two-queen rooms accept dogs. If you’re booking a whirlpool room, leave Fido home. The terrace and barbecue area make this feel more like a casual extended-stay than a standard hotel.
Choose this if: You’re a craft beer fan — walking distance to two breweries beats driving every time. The terrace makes summer stays genuinely enjoyable.

5. Best Western Plus New Richmond Inn & Suites
The Vibe
The highest-rated property in this guide at 9.1, Best Western Plus New Richmond is a 3-star hotel delivering 5-star cleanliness — a 9.6 score in that category. The location also hits 9.6, and Wi-Fi scores a perfect 10.0. Guests praise the quiet rooms, comfortable beds, and the Saltie restaurant in downtown New Richmond. It’s the better-than-expected pick for this corridor.
What You Actually Get
Some suites include a kitchen, making this ideal for extended stays or families who want to cook their own meals. The indoor swimming pool, fitness center, and spa/wellness center add serious depth. Breakfast is included and rated “adequate to good” by guests. One catch: no pets allowed unless they’re service dogs. The hotel accepts cash but requires a credit card for incidentals. Book more than 9 rooms and different group policies kick in.
Choose this if: Cleanliness and internet speed are non-negotiable. This is the only hotel in Baldwin WI area with a perfect Wi-Fi score and near-perfect housekeeping.
