It is what you expect for the price you pay: hotel a bit outdated, furnishings showing the age, but clean, quiet, and well located. Staff was friendly, receptionist seemed to be young and inexperienced but manager helped her out. For a one night stay, it was a fair deal, and I appreciate their pet friendly policy. Will stay here again.

Recently my husband and I stayed with our 2 kids. I was greeted by a very friendly cleaning crew. My room was spotless. I stayed there for a week and my husband and I always came to a clean, aired out room, the sheets were crisp and clean. The breakfast was hot and plenty of it. We were in need... More

This Howard Johnson is ok for a night stop over, but not anymore for me. The room is small, no refrig/microwave, and since we live on the road, thats essential for us. Like I said ok for a one night stop over. The rate I paid $ 84.00 for a one double bed, I thought that was pretty high for... More

Thank you for the compliments of clean rooms and friendly staff. The Howard Johnson La Crosse staff loves to hear those words, as this is what they strive to achieve every day! Motel rates are based on room availability. As less rooms are available the rate goes up. Perhaps you stayed with us on a busy evening. If you are... More

I stayed here with my two teenage daughters for a weekend leisure trip. I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities provided by this budget motel. Nice soaps/shampoo, coffee in the room, and the TP and tissues were good quality. This place wasn't sparkling clean or updated, but it's comfortable and surprisingly quiet. In fact, quieter than many mid-level hotels we've... More

My husand and I stayed here after a concert. It was a Priceline bid so I guess we got what we paid for this time. Very small and basic room, had one double sized bed, I would at least expect a queen! The room was OK, definately could see the age in some of the furniture, flooring, A/C unit etc.... More

Found this hotel to be clean and the front desk service to be excellent. You have to get down to breakfast early as showing up near 9am there wasn't much left both days we were there. Overall, no complaints. This is a budget hotel and the rooms were in good shape, air conditioning was solid, and rooms were updated. Hotel... More
