I chose to stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Onalaska on a business trip because my stay at this hotel ten years earlier had been excellent. Upon arrival I was assigned a room that had the door propped open by a wastebasket. The manager gave me a new room and this room was not clean; lint on the floor... More

Spent two nights here and the stay was excellent. Our room had been recently painted and was very clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable allowing us to get a great nights sleep. Will stay here again. All staff members were great and made us feel very welcome.

The rooms are clean and big. The service could be better. I normally have biscuits and gravy at Holiday Inn Express Motels. They had biscuits, but no gravy. I was a little disappointed. Never seen one that didn't have these breakfast choices. They also don't have flavored cream for your coffee, just plain cream. Seems like they are playing it... More

My family of 5 stayed here this past weekend in room 111. Check in was fast and easy, the woman working the front desk was friendly. The room seemed to be clean, it had 2 queen beds (they seemed more like double beds) and a sofa that pulled out into a double bed. To be blunt, the beds are terrible,... More

Our stay was short, but very pleasant. The hotel was very clean, quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful. My only reason for not giving an overall of 5 was due to the poor cooling/ventilation in the workout room. Other than that, family friendly, business friendly, and a wonderful stay. Thanks!

We stayed here during the state high school ski championships at Mt. LaCrosse. Overall, we had a good experience. The rooms were comfortable and roomy. Even the sofabed was fairly comfortable. Location is a bit challenging to find. A couple of details they could have done better: on the weekend when this big ski event is going on, several teams... More

The exterior in the common areas of the hotel, but the rooms are a bit dirty. There was mold growing in the ceiling above the shower and the bathroom fixtures had caulk missing. The sheets were missing from the spare set and the flowers had stains on them. Don't know what the stains were from. The free breast was good.... More
