Courtyard by Marriott

My review would be a 2.5 actually. Not my favorite Marriott experience. The rooms were more expensive because of the event so we paid well for this trip. I went there to stay for the Oktoberfest Celebrations in Lacrosse. I had two rooms rented and one of them I could barely ever get into because the door handle didn’t work. The sink area seemed very cramped. The pool was very small and so was the hot tub. The hot tub had a pound of sand on the bottom of the floor. The windows in the pool area quite honestly were filthy. Had they been even remotely clean it would have been beautiful because the view is overlooking the bridge and Mississippi river. I seriously wanted to clean them myself. Cobwebs and dirt everywhere. I bought two Bloody Mary’s from the bar. The bartender had quit and never showed back up (I was told) so the General Manager made them. They were $ 10 and very small. They consisted of Vodka, mix, and a stick of celery. Now because I am naturally a very positive person I will point out the pros. The back patio was very cozy, they had a shuttle bus that ran every 30 minutes to take you to and from the Fest grounds and the people (employees and guests) were extremely friendly. When I come across kind people it makes any experience better in the long run. I probably will not choose this for my next Oktoberfest experience.

This hotel is your basic Courtyard as far as looks and décor. What I can’t seem to understand is how a hotel that primarily services business travelers does not have high speed internet. Even when you purchase a «faster» connection it is still slow as molasses. This is a huge inconvenience especially if you’re working from the room and staying here for several days.

Military discount is great $ 83.00 a night Sunday-​Thursday. Regular price 149.00 Friday and Saturday night. Very clean, great location, staff makes good Starbucks Coffee and the bar is nicely stocked for those who would like a few drinks. Overall a pleasant experience and will stay again.

The room and other accommodations were OK, the front desk staff very efficient and friendly, the internet connection was fast.
We make it a practice to avoid any Marriott property but the folks we were meeting in La Crosse had already picked the Courtyard and we wanted to stay in the same hotel.
I think a company that made $ 15B in 2013 can afford to pay its employees, especially the «room attendants» a living wage. Attempting to cadge the difference from customers already paying for an over-​priced room through creating another class of tipped wage earners is a corporate and employee indignity.

If this hotel were in any other city with the kinds of hotels I typically stay in, this review would have been 4 stars. Because it is in La Crosse, CbyM gets 5 stars.
The location of this hotel is perfect if you want to walk through Riverside Park or to restaurants and bars downtown. It’s easy to find and parking is ample. We had a room that faced the river which was relaxing to watch. The grounds are well groomed. There is a back patio/​deck next to the river that is nice when the sunshine is out.
The staff are helpful and friendly. We loved staying here and will continue to do so when we go back each year.

Was at this location Sep 2013, loved the area… lots of eateries nearby and they have a nice lounge at the hotel itself. Service was fantastic. Rooms were gorgeous. I had to leave a note to the housekeeping attendant for more sugar and coffee sachets but they remembered to do it every single day of my stay there. Loved it! The bar is pretty nice to for some late night drinks with friends. Their breakfast choices are good as well. This location overlooks the bridge and the pathway along the river is great for a run or walk during the day.

Nice hotel but small. Located very close to downtown with a great view of the Mississippi River. Bistro is a nice addition as is the pool/​gym, however, the internet service is lacking.
Very helpful staff. We traveled with our two month old and the staff accommodated all our needs.
