Nice hotel, comfortable bed. Nice view of the river from the room, but paid a premium. Only 1 elevator, long wait in the morning. Small pool, but water is warm, very nice. Floor around the pool area is extremely slippery and dangerous. Saw several people slip. Wrong kind of tile for water. Breakfast is expensive and not that great. Close enough to walk to "Breakfast Club and Pub" downtown, and well worth it.

We went to see the Rotary Lights and this was the perfect place to stay. Located by the river, the views were beautiful. We were able to walk and explore during the day and stroll through the park to enjoy the lights at night. The pool and hot tub area were comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great location for walking to everything and to the river walk. Staff checking us in and out super nice. Room was clean, bed nice. pillows could be upgraded. When looking for places I searched hotels with bar restaurants I wouldn't classify this place as that. It had a place to get drinks with a full bar and some foods but not a restaurant per say. the outside patio was wonderful, however they must have been working on something by the river because it smelt bad outside. Over all a nice place to stay. I'd stay there again without hesitation.

Great staff, got bedbug bites…Marriot was less than responsive to the issue when called, didn’t seem to care even though it was a Marriot property. EXTREMELY disappointed with the chain and response. Truly terrible response from Marriot customer service. Didn’t seem to care or want to resolve the issue, pulling teeth to get Marriot to contact the hotel.

The hotel is located right on the Mississippi River. Our room had a beautiful river view. The location was great and walkable to downtown businesses, restaurants and bars. The room was very spacious, however, the bathroom vanity was very small. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel was very quiet. The lobby was nice with sitting areas about. The cafe served Starbucks cofee and food and was also a bar in the evening. Recommend staying at the Courtyard Marriott in La Crosse, WI

Supremely overpriced. The room was clean but small and the bathroom was not great (got stuck with a handicap accessible room after reserving another type). Breakfast was terribly overpriced as well. If you have a river view it may be good, but the city side was, quite frankly, ugly. Most of the plugin's were non-USB. TV selection was minimal. It just wasn't worth the cost.

Check was quick - painless. Room was perfect. Amenities were as advertised. One problem. The restaurant. Terribly understaffed. One young fellow killing himself trying to keep up with orders for food plus be a bartender. We waited 15 minutes to order 2 beers and finally left. He apologized but it really wasn't his fault. Hire more people or have a back up plan.

Stayed here many years ago. This time, a generally positive experience. I was asked at check in if i wanted housekeeping every other day, or not at all. I don't know why it slushy just be daily by default at this hotels prices. I elected every other day, however throughout my three nights housekeeping never came. The shower needed some maintenance - water leaks all over the floor from the seam between the doors, and the shower head was heavily clogged with calcium (which costs pennies to prevent with some vinegar sprayed on the shower head at each cleaning). Minor things. No major complaints.

The food was mediocre. the ice machine was out of ice, We were put in a handicap room so the door remained open when my husband was sleeping. It cost $5.69 for a little individual bottle of orange juice. The nearby restaurants were all closed. The beds were comfortable but the plug in the sink didn't go down and the plug in the tub wouldn't stay up.
