Top Historic Downtown La Crosse Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham West Salem

10/10 Excellent

"all good"

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Staff was great on check in and check out. Breakfast was great. The room was just ok. It had a rigged up a/c unit in the main room that was hard to get cold air from the main into the bedroom. We were in room 201. I can't imagine the rest of the rooms were like that. Perhaps because we booked on Expedia? Who knows. The bedroom had a BO smell that seemed to say something needed to be changed. Bed, pillows, comforter, etc. Not sure which. Great location, great staff, great breakfast, time to update room 201."
