Americas Best Value Inn La Crosse

It was cheap, room was clean, front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.

There was not much parking for bigger vehicles or boat. Some unsavory characters hanging out in the parking lot every night after dark.

Location and staff

Cleanliness and value for money.

Booked wrong hotel

I booked this hotel in error and was disappointed to find that I would have to call Kayak to get it cancelled. I tried to cancel at the hotel and was told I could not. We had stayed at this place previously and did not care for it. It is a bargain if you don't mind very noisy heating/cooling units and a loud fridge too. This place has a very sketchy reputation and did have some drug issues on premises a while back. There were a lot of construction workers staying there and for them it probably a good place. There really no perks to stay there and the breakfast was dismal. And 6:oo to 9:00 for not much was a little early. It was my fault for booking this place but would have liked to been able to cancel without going through the "Travel Agency" known as Kayak. I will not make the same mistake twice and stay there again.

A true truckers motel

Rooms outdated. Left old heating units in and just installed new ones over. Pipes exposed in bathroom. Mickey Mouse cabinents around the refrigerator. Common hallways need new carpeting, Extension cords exposed all over. Needs new paint. Everything is just like traveling in the 80's. The employees were very cordial and helpful and the rooms were basically clean, just really run down. Very quiet for being on a busy intersection. For a family to be comfortable we will spend $20 more a nite. Good enough for an occasional travelor needing a nites rest.

This hotel was cheap and outdated

Location

Horribly outdated: TV, A/C and shelf, bathroom fixtures and no paint job in bathroom in years, Old rusty metal heating unit attached to bathroom ceiling that was disconnected but not removed. They required a $1.50 charge for a safe I never used. Refused to refund it. Only two towels when I made reservations for three. Had to ask front desk clerk for third set. She only gave them to me after questioning me. Breakfast cheap, pillows cheap. I will NOT stay there again. Rather pay the $20 more to get a nicer hotel and room.

GO ELSEWHERE

nothing

Terrible all around. The metal security door to enter the building to get to our room had particle board screwed to the middle of it due to missing glass from "storm damage", and the main lock had duct tape over it -- which meant the door not only didn't close tightly but clearly could not be locked! So there was no security at all and anyone off the street could walk right in, and this was around the back of the building, not near the lobby. There were dozens of cigarette burns on the very dated carpet in the room, the furniture was mismatched, and the lights near the bed did not work. When I called the front desk to ask for a room in another part of the building that may be more secure, due to our concern with the outside door not locking or closing, we were told that there were no other rooms available and if we left we would be charged for the room regardless. Awful place, awful experience.
