Q: Which hotel in Marshfield is closest to the hospital?

Visit Marshfield's lodging article, published in February 2026, names Hampton Inn & Suites (0.8 miles) and Woodfield Inn and Suites (1 mile) as the closest to Marshfield Medical Center.

Eight places to stay, placed by distance from the fairgrounds, downtown and the hospital side of Central Avenue.

The easiest way to read hotels in Marshfield is to follow Central Avenue, because five of the eight places covered here carry a Central Avenue address. Two more sit on Upham Street, and one is out on Veterans Parkway.

The pattern matters because the reasons people book here pull in opposite directions. The Central Wisconsin State Fair is in the south, at 513 East 17th Street, and the hospital side of town is in the north. Unless a source is named, every mileage is straight-line from the street address, and many are given from the fairgrounds or from West Third Street downtown. If you are still deciding what to do once you are in town, start with things to do in Marshfield.

Three places cluster at the southern end of the avenue, and they are the closest to the fairgrounds. Park Motel is about 0.5 miles from the fairgrounds, Holiday Inn about 0.6 miles and Hotel Marshfield about 0.75 miles.

Holiday Inn Conference Ctr Marshfield by IHG

Holiday Inn Conference Center is at 750 South Central Avenue, about 0.3 miles from West Third Street downtown, the shortest downtown distance of the eight. Its own page lists premium king rooms, standard rooms and a Jacuzzi suite, plus a ballroom and three boardrooms named Blodgett & Ives, Travelers and Hardacre.

One reviewer who stayed four nights says the hotel has entrances off both Central Avenue and Park Street.

Park Motel Marshfield Wisconsin, at 1806 South Central Avenue, is a basic roadside stop in this stretch. Its own site says parking is directly outside the front entrance and puts downtown at about a ten-minute walk, the motel's own estimate; in a straight line it is about 1 mile to West Third Street. Reviewers describe a roadside motel on a main road, and one says you can hear motorcycles on Central Avenue. Another reviewer mentions two-prong outlets, so bring an adapter if you travel with grounded plugs.

Park Motel and the next hotel down the avenue share one trait, which is that neither belongs to a national brand.

Hotel Marshfield

Hotel Marshfield, at 2700 South Central Avenue, is the southernmost of the eight and has an on-site restaurant, Libby McNeill's Food + Drink. Its site lists a complimentary hot breakfast, event space for corporate gatherings and weddings, and pet-friendly rooms.

Reviewers mention wedding receptions held on site, a chicken and wild rice soup, and free laundry. Visit Marshfield's lodging article puts it 2.6 miles from the medical center, the longest hospital run of the hotels it measures.

North Central Avenue and Upham Street, on the hospital side

The cluster around Upham Street and the north end of Central Avenue is where the hospital sits, and the hotels there are measured against it. Visit Marshfield's article, published in February 2026, names Hampton Inn & Suites (0.8 miles) and Woodfield Inn and Suites (1 mile) as the closest to Marshfield Medical Center.

Woodfield Inn & Suites

Woodfield Inn & Suites, at 1651 North Central Avenue, is about 1.4 miles from West Third Street. Travel Wisconsin describes it as about six blocks from Marshfield Medical Center, with an on-site bar and grill and a complimentary breakfast.

AmericInn by Wyndham is a three-story hotel at 114 East Upham Street, about 1.2 miles from downtown and, by the Wyndham page, about one mile from the medical center. That page advertises a free breakfast buffet, while reviewers' experience of the breakfast ranges from praise for an early start to complaints about empty dishes.

Baymont by Wyndham is the northernmost of the eight, at 2107 North Central Avenue, about 2.6 miles from the fairgrounds and about 1.9 miles from downtown. A reviewer places it beside a Walmart, and reviewers mention a front desk that was hard to reach after check-in. 7 Star Motel, on West Veterans Parkway, is about 2.5 miles from the fairgrounds, and Visit Marshfield lists it among area motels. Its reviews are mostly negative, with several describing cleanliness problems, so read recent ones before you book.

Fair week and hospital stays

This year's Central Wisconsin State Fair ran Tuesday, August 25 through Sunday, August 30 at the fairgrounds on East 17th Street. Visit Marshfield's event page for the fair mentions no lodging or camping, only a link to its general hotel list. Call early and start with the south-end hotels.

Marshfield Clinic began in 1916 when six local doctors opened it on the second floor of the Thiel building downtown. Its children's hospital page names Holiday Inn, Hotel Marshfield and Woodfield Inn and Suites among the local places to stay. The same page says the Ronald McDonald House serves families who live outside Marshfield city limits, assigns rooms first come first served and takes no advance reservations.

Visit Marshfield's article says Holiday Inn and Hotel Marshfield offer a complimentary hospital shuttle. Holiday Inn's own page says it has no complimentary local shuttle, so confirm before you count on one.

What to confirm before you book

Pools are where listings and reality part ways. Visit Marshfield's article lists pools at Hampton, Holiday Inn, Woodfield, Hotel Marshfield, AmericInn and Baymont. Holiday Inn's own page answers no when asked whether it has a pool, and reviewers of both Holiday Inn and Baymont describe a closed pool. If swimming decides your booking, phone the front desk and ask whether the pool is open that week.

Holiday Inn's page also contradicts itself on dining, mentioning an on-site restaurant in one place and denying one in another, and a reviewer reports no complimentary breakfast.

Pick the end of Central Avenue that matches your reason for coming and Marshfield's hotels mostly sort themselves.
