Hotels in Stevens Point by the Square, Campus or I-39

The hotels in Stevens Point sit in three clusters, and the cluster you pick sets how far you are from the Square and from the university. Cobblestone is about 0.1 to 0.2 miles from the Square, Comfort Suites and Country Inn & Suites are about 1.1 miles away on Division Street North, and Fairfield and Holiday Inn are 3 to 4 miles out east near the interstate. The Square is the heart of a city of about 25,700 people on the Wisconsin River, and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus is about 0.8 miles from it. Distances here are in a straight line, so allow extra for the road.

Five hotels are covered below, sorted by area, with what each one's own pages say about breakfast, pools and pets, and what recent guests mention. The visitor bureau's own March 2026 roundup also names a few more properties, which come up near the end.

Downtown: Cobblestone Hotel & Suites

Cobblestone Hotel & Suites, at 1117 Centerpoint Drive, is the one hotel the visitor bureau files under downtown, about 0.1 to 0.2 miles from the Square and 0.7 miles from the campus.

Launch coverage described 60 guestrooms, including studio and extended-stay suites. Dogs are welcome for $25 per dog per night, which is worth confirming when you book. Guests mention clean rooms, soft bedding and the staff, and one parent visiting a son at UWSP liked being near both downtown and campus. Breakfast splits opinion: reviewers call it good, but a recent two-star review found the lobby dark and the breakfast unappetizing.

On foot from here you reach Father Fats Public House, a gastropub with a patio about 0.2 miles away, and Main Grain, a bakery about 0.2 miles off, where reviewers praise the bread and the lunch menu.

From May through October, the Saturday farmers market fills the Square about 0.2 miles from the lobby, and the visitor bureau calls it one of Wisconsin's oldest.

The Square began as a gathering place by the river for loggers, craftsmen and businesspeople, part of the first plat laid out in 1847, and the downtown around it was listed as a National Register historic district in 1986. Pfiffner Pioneer Park, on the river about 0.3 miles from the hotel, has a paved path, a bandshell and a gazebo, and one reviewer notes public restrooms, though another found them rough.

Division Street North: Comfort Suites and Country Inn & Suites

Comfort Suites and Country Inn & Suites are neighbors at 300 and 301 Division Street North, less than 0.1 miles apart and about a mile from campus. The visitor bureau lists Country Inn & Suites among its north-side hotels, closest to the university, near the Green Circle Trail and the Sculpture Park.

Reviews are mixed, so read the latest ones before booking. Several guests praise bigger-than-expected rooms and helpful front-desk staff, while a one-star review from about six months ago and a three-star review from about five months ago describe cleanliness and pool upkeep problems. One guest also noted the restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, and a family on a work trip liked the pool and the breakfast potatoes.

Schmeeckle is a 280-acre reserve on the campus with about 5 miles of trails and a lake, and reviewers describe quiet woodland paths that connect to the Green Circle. Guests at Country Inn mention a breakfast room big enough for a family's pizza night, adjoining rooms for a basketball tournament, and a Target nearby. They also say the pool is small and the hot tub was either too hot or out of order, and one team parent arrived to find the pool closed for maintenance with no warning.

East side by the interstate: Holiday Inn and Fairfield

The Holiday Inn Stevens Point - Convention Center and the Fairfield Inn & Suites sit off I-39 and Highway 10 on the east edge, about 3 to 4 miles from the Square. They are about 2 to 3 miles from campus, and the two hotels are about a mile apart. This is the side to choose if you arrive by interstate, need a conference room, or would rather drive than walk.

Reviewers mention clean, generously sized rooms with a choice of pillows, a friendly front desk and a good breakfast in the attached restaurant, and they say the pool suits small children. They also say there is no hot tub, and an eight-month-old two-star review called the pool room cold and the hotel dated, so ask about the pool when you book. The hotel's own page contradicts itself on pets, so check the policy before you travel with a dog. The visitor bureau also lists a Holiday Inn Express in this east-side group, with a cinnamon-roll breakfast and an indoor pool.

A recent guest praised the clean room and said the hotel sits next to a busy Kwik Trip and a highway, which brings some noise but is handy. Another, in town for the Iola car show in July 2026, paid about $198 a night and was unhappy with the look of the pool. That show draws a crowd to the area again on July 8 to 10, 2027, so book early for that weekend. Iola is about 25 miles from Stevens Point.

Which hotel suits which trip

For a campus visit, Cobblestone, Country Inn and Comfort Suites are all within about a mile of UWSP. For a weekend spent on the Square and the river, Cobblestone is the one within easy reach of the Square, at about 0.1 to 0.2 miles. For families, the Holiday Inn pitches kids-stay-and-eat-free and a bunk-bed suite, Country Inn has the whirlpool, and Comfort Suites has sofa-bed suites.

Pet owners have two choices: Cobblestone at $25 per dog per night, and Country Inn with a $50 deposit per stay. Comfort Suites and Fairfield allow only service animals. All five list wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, though a guest at Fairfield said the one fully accessible room was already taken. Anyone with specific access needs should call before booking.

Other Stevens Point lodging and nearby sights

Beyond these five, the visitor bureau's March 2026 roundup lists the Days Inn, the Inn at SentryWorld and Home2 Suites by Hilton. It describes the Inn at SentryWorld as an upscale boutique hotel built along the 18th fairway of the SentryWorld golf course, and puts Home2 Suites in the Portage County Business Park, about six miles from the campus.

Once you have dropped your bags, there are plenty of Stevens Point activities, from river paths to a brewery tour. The Stevens Point Brewery sits about 1.1 miles south of Cobblestone and offers regular tours. Choose the area before the hotel, whether that is the Square, Division Street or the interstate, and the choice narrows fast.
