La Crosse Hotels with Pools

We stayed here one Monday night in late April, basically passing passing through. The area appears to be the cultural center and felt very empty with most dining places closed Mon & Tues (not a bad thing, just a bit eerie). The approximately half riverwalk & garden area north of the hotel was interesting & well worth 30-40 minutes of time. Saw several chubby woodchucks along the way! The hotel remo was very classy, everything exceptionally clean, classy, and new; staff very friendly. Our room and beds were comfortable & quiet, likewise the pool and fitness room. The only downside we encountered is that there was no place within several blocks to get dinner or breakfast aside from the hotel ”Bistro” on the 1st floor. It offers tables with waterview as well as some interesting comfy looking ”privacy” booths. Their menu was quite limited and on the ”light” side while the prices were relatively reasonable for a ”captive” eatery and we were able to get what we needed. I suspect is probably not an issue during peak season & weekends. We would stay here again if in La Crosse.

I presented at a conference that was held at the Radisson in La Crosse, in early May. My observation from the conference is that the Radisson staff are very hardworking and did a great job taking care of us conferees. Lunch was delicious - I had a pork loin chop, mashed potatoes, and veggie mix of cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, red onions and green peppers - the veggies tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly (not overcooked). Service was excellent for the lunch. Refreshments during the conference were excellent - displayed attractively, tidied up in a timely fashion. The staff were inconspicuous and did a great job picking up after all of us conferees, clearing dishes, etc. Their excellent work was very noticeable and very much appreciated. AV-tech was attentive, friendly and very helpful. Climate inside was well controlled - not too hot and not too cold; just right. Location of restrooms was excellent. Location of this hotel is excellent, parking lot out back had plenty of parking spaces.

It is worthy of being a Marriott brand. Although it is an affordable hotel, it still has the quality of a big company. The price is low, the breakfast is rich, the coffee is many, the room is small, but it still has a microwave and a small swimming pool.

Very, very hateful, hate, good, good

My wife and I recently vacationed in Wisconsin, our first trip since Covid seems to be under control. We were very disappointed in the decline of multiple budget motel chains we used. The franchise owners are struggling to recover financially, and this has resulted in substandard building maintenance and staffing. My rating is for this property in particular. The room looked like it hadn't been dusted or vacuumed in several days, so we dusted off the lamps and wore foot coverings, even during the night. (0 stars) The fan for the air conditioner was very noisy, so during the night we alternated between having it keep us cool and awake, or getting up a couple of times to turn it off so we could sleep but get too warm. The bathroom fan was also noisy and made a throbbing sound in the room during the entire length of a shower. The steam took a long time to clear, so I don't think the fan actually worked. (0 stars) The bedding and pillows were very comfortable, and there were no noisy neighbors in the rooms, hallways or outside. We got a good night's rest. (1 star) The breakfast area was clean and well stocked, and had the variety you would normally expect for a free breakfast. (1 star) The front desk staff was friendly during both checkin and checkout. They apologized for the room not being as good as we had expected. (1 star) Based on these factors, my overall rating is 3 stars. I suspect that only certain rooms are kept up, and when occupancy goes up, some of the substandard rooms are made available without first being properly readied. We had chosen Country Inn because of an exceptional stay in Holland Michigan ten years ago. This property certainly wasn't what we had expected for the price we paid for the room.

I stayed 3 days, 2 nights. Very friendly and supportive staff.
