Everything was great, except their boiler broke and we had no hot water for a shower the morning of our departure. Been awhile since I had a cold shower! Honestly would stay here again for sure as it can’t be helped and everything else was great.

Beautiful and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Loved the patio and the restaurant/deck. Staff was very friendly. However, I was continually woken up. There was a wedding going on in their event center and people were loudly talking and running down the hall until about 2 am. I was on the 1st floor and the people in the room above me were very loud.

Family run hotel well-located near downtown (within walking distance) and natural/cultural attractions (St. Feriole Island). Within 10-20 minute drive of state parks (Wyalusing and Pikes Peak) and NPS Monument (Indian Effigy Mounds) in both Wisconsin and Iowa. A 10 minute walk to the Mississippi River. Very personable and helpful staff. Reasonable hot and cold breakfast choices included. Bar/restaurant located within the hotel with good selections. The facility is well-maintained and very clean. We would recommend a stay here while in the Prairie du Chien area.

A nice place in a very convenient location (launch spot for local hiking and birding). Decent restaurant on-site with good options and a nice outdoor balcony area. Breakfast was included and kind of normal hotel breakfast fare, but fine. Very friendly people around the town. Could use a few upgrades, but most hotels do. We had a nice stay.

My wife ended up in the emergency room the day we were supposed to check in and the hotel still would not let us cancel. I had been a many time visitor, but after this our group might have to rethink our choice.

Great hotel in Prairie duChien

Lovely property and clean, tastefully appointed rooms. My second time staying at this property. Every front desk clerk is always friendly and helpful but I really must single out Jane. She goes above the normal. Extremely professional and accommodating to every guest. She is definitely one of those employees this property should hold on to. She is an asset to your business.
