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.

I was a wedding guest here in September. The venue itself is great, a cool cocktail room, and the…read moremain reception are is also nice. It's on the smaller side, so don't expect to have 150+ people and be comfortable, but for the clientele it serves, it's a great option. My frustration is with one of the bartenders. I ordered an old fashioned, a fairly common drink for most wedding-goers. The bartender made the drink, placed it in front of me, and said that it would be an extra $2 because "it's all alcohol, compared to other drinks." He caught me off guard, seeing as everything else other than top-shelf liquor is included in an open-bar package. The drink wasn't made with premium whiskey anyhow, unless Jack Daniels is considered premium in this neck of the woods. Anyways, if they're going to stiffarm you for an extra $2 here and there, so be it. But, to make your drink, set it down in front of you, and then ask for extra money, that's just unprofessional. Be upfront about it. The drink would've been better served tossed in his face, as his bartending skills were more insulting than anything.

We were here the end of April on a cool and rainy weekend…read more It was really quiet and pretty! We had spot 116 right on the river. Lots of space and nature all around. We saw a group of bald eagles on the shore across the channel. Bring binoculars! New picnic tables at most of the sites. The shower house was spotless. New shower curtains, fresh paint. Love that the park is gated so you don't have to worry about a thing!

Great campground in La Crosse. It's right on the water which is hard not to love! It is in a…read moreconvenient location, we love it because we can just walk into town (it's about a mile into town from the campground). They have kayaks that you can rent right from the campground which is nice (we haven't done it yet, but would like to!). Staff is always very friendly and pretty easy going. If you're looking for a quiet place, however, this probably is not it. When it's busy, it can get pretty loud in the evenings. Note if you are tent camping, that there is a decent amount of road noise but last time we were there, it didn't bother us much.

I get it was 7pm on a Friday but she couldn't even muster a smile The room was well furnished and for an extra $15 we got a rollaway bed. While the room had a dank, musty smell, we did have a nice view of the river. Breakfast was all processed.carbs. microwave breakfast sandwiches, white bread, white English muffins, packaged muffins, pancakes, sweetened cereal and strawberry or strawberry banana yogurt. No fruit, no packets of oatmeal. Beverage options were coffee, apple/orange juice or 2% milk. No decaf, tea, or water. Last year we stayed at a hotel across the street for $100 less with a better breakfast but a poor view. I think next time we'll stay over there and keep our $$.

I spent a couple of nights recently at Americinn in LaCrosse recently and would rate it okay but…read moreoverpriced. We were there on a week end in which there was an event so maybe the prices were inflated to the four or five level. Our room was not luxurious by any stretch of the imagination but it was clean and reasonably comfortable. There is a pool which the one child in our group enjoyed. The pool area was typical of midwestern indoor pools humid with a strong chlorine smell. The included breakfast was pathetic given that we paid $250/ night so we went to the nearby Lacrosse Family restaurant where we had an excellent meal.
