Top University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel La Crosse - Onalaska

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel brings beautiful rustic charm right into the city! If you like lodges, you'll love this place! The breakfast offered a wide variety of hot and cold meals. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The staff were also friendly and helpful. Sorry, I have to nick you a bit on the dusting and hot tub. I always run the jacuzzi jets with water to make sure they are clean. These ones appeared to be. However, mold shot out of the faucet when I turned the hot water on. It was only a minor inconvenience. We loved our stay!"

Days Inn by Wyndham La Crosse

8/10 Good

"The room and property were clean. Didn't partake in the free breakfast. Heater in the room is VERY loud. Could tell it's been recently renovated as the baseboards in our room kept falling away from the wall (and it's very gross behind them). Bathroom is REALLY small. No counter space at the sink. Otherwise it was fine - esp. for the price."
