What guests think

At Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott La Crosse Downtown, travelers consistently praise the walkable downtown location, friendly staff, and satisfying breakfast, while recurring drawbacks include street or train noise and, for light sleepers, thin walls that transmit sounds.

Many find rooms spacious and comfortable, though a few report climate control quirks or minor bathroom issues. Cleanliness is generally strong, but a small number mention odors or isolated lapses, and housekeeping during stays may be on request. Free on-site parking and a compact pool and fitness room add convenience, with occasional renovation or elevator disruptions noted. Expect a comfortable, reliable base for exploring La Crosse.

The hotel is only two blocks from the La Crosse Center, walkable to many stores and restaurants downtown. It is on the corner of two very busy streets so there is quite a bit of city/road noise. The interior is almost done being completely remodeled which meant very strong smells from the new carpet in the hallways. In the room, the smell wasn’t as strong. The room was clean, good breakfast, and we had a great check in experience and any staff we talked to were very welcoming and nice. Definitely will return when back in the area.

I stayed here on the 4th of July so figured the fireworks noise would be loud. It was. Room was spacious (thought they oversold king rooms so I was put in a double). The ice bucket hadn't been emptied from the previous users which wasn't great but otherwise it was clean and cozy. Surprisingly big parking lot for being downtown. Would stay again.

I liked everything except the street noise. Room was clean and modern, free breakfast was good, staff was friendly, fitness room and free parking were included. The only thing that bothered me was what sounded like car races on the main road well into the night. Maybe because it was Saturday, maybe because I don’t live in an urban area? But, that isn’t something controlled by the hotel. Otherwise, the area seemed nice, safe and walkable.

We stayed at Fairfield Inn & Suites La Crosse for two nights over Memorial Day weekend with our kids. It was our first time visiting La Crosse. The hotel was in a great location—an easy walk to Riverside Park, the Dahl Auto Museum, and the Children’s Museum. There were also lots of good places to eat nearby. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the pool was never busy when we used it. Overall, we had a great stay. Thank you!

Definitely will be back. Stayed for one night. King bed. Clean. Convenient. Easy free parking. Fast WiFi. Nice new clean showers and rooms. So clean and new and fresh. The ONLY issue was I could hear the people above me pounding around like elephants. Didn’t sleep the best because of this. But didn’t care enough to ask for a room change.

Blower stayed on throughout stay. Couldn’t adjust it. Also there is a $20.00 pending charge on my credit card. What’s that about. Not mentioned to me. Lastly, never got a bona fide receipt on line for the stay, i.e. no mention of the total charge for the stay not a ‘breakdown’ of the total cost.

I’ve traveled to La Crosse for over twenty years and have stay at several hotels there. This was my first stay at the Fairfield Inn. The location is very convenient for tourists since it’s located downtown. The lobby is wide and very welcoming. I interacted with several staff, including the cleaning crew and everyone was friendly and attentive. We reserved a standard room with one queen size bed. The room was spacious enough for work desk, a couch, and a chair. The sleeping area and bathroom were spotless. And most importantly, the bathroom was stocked with premium toilet paper, not the cheap stuff 😊. Our reservation included a breakfast with a very large assortment of food options. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We had a great stay at Fairfield Inn and Suites! The room was clean and nice, the staff was friendly. I will say that our bathroom fan did not work and that was frustrating at times, because of the steam after showers and I personally like to have the sound of the vent as noise.

Hotel was clean and in great condition. My only complaint is in regards to the climate control for the room. The temperature was very warm and there wasn’t an option to turn down the thermostat and cool off the room since it’s cold outside. This made for difficult sleeping conditions with the room being anywhere from 75 to 80°.

We were very impressed by this property. Very clean, very spacious (in both the room & the lobby/shared space). Staff was uber friendly! I came down to the lobby in the evening to do some stitching & have a glass of wine while my husband watched football in the room, & the staff very willingly offered to turn on the lights in the breakfast area for me to stitch in. Location wonderful -- lots of restaurants in walking area, & property just off main road.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fairfield Inn in La Crosse! The hotel is in a great location in the downtown area, so it is in walking distance to the river walk, stores, and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful and fully supplied. Really, the only recommendation we have for this hotel is that you install more towel racks in the rooms' bathrooms. We don't mind reusing our towels one time, but the knobs to hang used towels on don't allow the towels to dry very well, and who wants to reuse a damp towel? No one! Other than that, we had a great stay!

The hotel was really nice, but the bed and pillows could have been softer. I enjoyed the breakfast, but it seemed really strange they didn't have any potatoes to go with the eggs and meat. And rather than having bacon and breakfast sausage, they served canadian bacon and turkey sausage. Ain't nobody asking for that substitution.
