GrandStay Residential Suites La Crosse, La Crosse

I had never heard of GrandStay before we spent a night there and actually wished we needed to stay longer! Due to a large convention in town and short notice on our part, we were offered the handicap accessible room. It had a walk-in shower rather than a tub, which was perfect for us. With a wooden bench, the shower was a bit tight but my husband walked in and flipped it up against the wall, which it's made to do and the shower was great then! The room was very spacious, with two queen beds and a fold-out couch if needed. We also had two TV's, with separate remotes and with the room design, we weren't disturbed if watching different programs. The beds were very comfy and temperature was perfect and easy to control with a room thermostat verses in-wall noisy mechanisms. Hotel staff were very courteous, friendly and professional. Had we needed to stay longer, we would have had the use of a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher as well as sitting area. The room and entire hotel were beautifully decorated, clean, and inviting. The pool, whirlpool and fitness room were all handy and the vending area had everything from frozen pizza, ice cream and cold coffee drinks to specialty chips and snacks--a nice touch. The continental breakfast was well done, with items such as muffins, yogurt, breakfast, toast, juices & coffee. The hotel is located at the end of a street and is very quiet yet within a few blocks of downtown and next to the walkway that leads to Riverside park on the Mississippi River. I've stayed at the Radisson and the Holiday Inn Courtyard, both nearby, but will be choosing the GrandStay for future visits. The value can't be beat!
