I waited a while to write this review because I wanted to be fair. If I had written it the day of…read morethe event it would have been 1 star. Given the time of further consideration, I think 3 stars is legit. Here's the deal: I attended a family wedding here earlier this summer. The bride & groom were radiant, their friends were ecstatic to participate in their nuptials & everyone in the family was thrilled this day had arrived. We were all eager to celebrate. The venue at The Court Above Main, meaning the large room where the wedding & reception took place, is gorgeous. With high ceilings & floor to ceiling windows there is plenty of natural light on a sunny afternoon. It's elegant & creates a lovely mood as the guests anticipate the blessed event. Finally, the moment arrives...the wedding was a delight. Soon after, pictures began & most of us were quickly scooted out of the wedding venue to a small outside ante-room which turned out to be the bar. There were about 120 guests. Thankfully, not the 150 expected, or this would have been even worse. That's 120 people all eager to get a drink at a small counter with 2 very nice, but obviously overwhelmed, bartenders. Once everyone had their drinks we were all stuck in this ante-room where there were a few tall tables & at most, 8 places to sit. It was a hot summer day & this room didn't have enough air conditioning. Everyone was sweating, there was practically no place to sit, there was barely room to stand, and not a bite to nibble on. (I realize that may have been an error made by the wedding couple in terms of not considering appetizers of any kind. However, what legitimate venue purporting to provide exceptional wedding services would allow an oversight like this without being sure the wedding couple seriously understood the importance of something to eat while drinking alcohol?). We were stuck in this situation for more than 2 hours! That's how long it took the room where the wedding occurred to be transitioned with tables & chairs for the dinner. Yup, 2 hours of being too hot, with aching feet, and no place to escape. Being a wedding, there were several elderly family members in attendance who were able to snag the few available chairs. But not everyone. So finally, people started trying to go in the main room where the tables & chairs were being set up & where it was much cooler because the AC worked almost too well. Those who tried got yelled at! That's hardly a welcoming vibe. The reason this transition took so long is because there were only 2 people on staff doing all the work. I have a good friend who manages wedding events & when I told him about this wedding, he said they always have a minimum staff of 5 for this number of people so they can ensure the transition happens in no more than 20 minutes. Now that seems reasonable. Once we were finally seated for dinner, the same 2 people were the only ones both serving & clearing. They were nice enough, but it all took way too long. I've gone on long enough. I'll finish by saying with this size venue & their limited staffing, I'm sure it could be a lovely wedding for 50 people, 75 at the most. Otherwise, it's simply not a large enough space, at least for the drinking portion of the event. And you'd be smart to insist there are a minimum of 4 staff to handle transitions & serving. Also insist there are enough tables & chairs in the bar area.

NO COFFEE MAKER IN ROOM ! NO ALARM CLOCK !…read moreNOT ENOUGH SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER FOR ONE GUEST LET ALONE THE TWO OF US ! MOLD IN THE CORNERS OF THE SHOWER ! I REFUSED TO SHOWER BECAUSE IT ! MAN THAT CHECKED US IN WAS JUST RUDE ! HAD TO SEARCH FOR OUR REFRIGERATOR, HIDDEN INSIDE A CABINET. NO PRINTED TV GUIDE NO PRINTED ANYTHING , LOCAL GUIDE, THINGS TO DO , PLACES TO SEE, RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA, NOTHING! There's supposed to be room service here. For what ? Food ? No menu in our room ! Wyndham texts you as soon as you check in : Welcome to AmericInn by Wyndham La Crosse Riverfront Conference Center and thank you for being a Wyndham Rewards Blue Member! If there is anything we can do to help you settle in, simply reply to this message. We hope you enjoy your stay! So I texted back : No coffee maker ?! This was their confusing reply: We are required by Wyndham to have coffee makers in the rooms. We have coffee in the lobby or you can request a coffee maker at the front desk.. Thank you. Then a second text: No longer required. So, I walked  down to the lobby to get a cup of coffee. Guess what , the machine was out of order ! I didn't waste my time asking the front desk for a coffee maker. Room was huge . King bed was ok. TV was about a 50" . Hard to use Samsung remote control. Had to play around for almost 15 minutes to figure out how to turn off VERY ANNOYING female robot voice for every action taken, I.E., changing channel, changing volume, searching for a guide, etc ., etc . On screen Guide didn't work for selecting channels and was impossible to scroll thru to pick a channel. Our window view was looking at other rooms in another wing. Riverfront view , NO . WAY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT WE GOT!!!!! IF I COULD GET A FULL REFUND FOR OUR MISERABLE STAY, I WOULD ASK FOR ONE. I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN !!!!! My only hope was a decent breakfast , like we've had at La Quinta. Wasn't happening here at AmericInn. So, so, so disappointed. All prepackaged foods. No fresh scrambled eggs , tater tots or ham slices. I ended up microwaving a croissant with egg, sausage and cheese. Grabbed an Otis Spunkmeyer muffin, a cup of dispensed orange juice and a Seattle's best coffee. I had to search for a trash can. Really ?! It was about a 6" hole in the top of the counter . Ridiculous ! One more positive ; the woman who checked us out was very pleasant and courteous ! Only the second interaction with an employee.
