Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great for sightseeing, and some rooms had ground level access, but the ongoing renovations were a downside. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, perfect for a restful night after a long day of riding.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though a bit loud until late, were clean and had comfortable beds. The rate of $89.00 for two adults was a good deal, but the smell of old cigarette smoke was off-putting.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and cozy, but they seemed to require a deep cleaning as there was a musty cigarette smell. The service was friendly overall, although there were instances where it lacked compassion, like refusing a late check-out request. The location was extensive and great for relaxation, especially in the evenings. The dining experience varied from excellent with plenty of choices to rushed and disappointing at times. The facilities were decent but had room for improvement.
The hotel room was spacious but appeared to need deep cleaning with thick amounts of dust on outlets making it challenging for my poor legs. The service was a mix of rude responses and helpful promptness. The location was great for unwinding on summer evenings but disrupted by construction noise. The dining experience was inconsistent. Overall, a mixed stay with some positives and negatives.
I found my experience at the hotel to be a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great for easy access to both Onalaska and Downtown Lacrosse, but the room quality was disappointing with thin walls and a sudden drop in temperature during the night. The service was friendly and courteous but lacked efficiency in room cleanliness upon arrival. While the dining options were decent, the meals felt rushed and limited. The facilities were average, and the ongoing renovations affected the overall ambiance of the hotel.
Upon arrival, I had to wait 20-30 minutes in the lobby for my room to be ready. The staff, particularly the young front desk clerk, was caring and attentive. However, the room had a strong odor of old cigarette smoke and definitely needed a thorough cleaning, with noticeable dust accumulating on outlets and surfaces.
Upon arriving, I found a dirty sock next to my bed in the room, which made me a bit uncomfortable. The walls are quite thin, so you can hear everything going on around you. The staff was not very helpful, which was disappointing. However, the hotel worked well, and it wasn't too loud; not my first choice for a stay.
