During our six weeks in Wisconsin as part of our 50 state road trip, we stayed for five nights at the Super 8 Wausau.

Review: Home2 Suites Green Bay, Wisconsin
When looking at our accommodation options for Green Bay, my initial plan had been to book in at the Hyatt Regency as it only costs 5,000 points per night.
