This is one of those older motels where you can park in front of your room. I drive a Dodge Ram, and I really appreciated how the spots are wide. I could open my doors fully without bumping vehicles on either side of me. The rooms are kind of basic, but everything worked, including the AC. It was clean and quiet. No issues. I fully recommend the Welch Motel.

It was fairly close to where I planned to spend most of my time in La Crosse, which was my main consideration; any extra amenities would have been wasted on me. The person who checked me in was courteous; my room was quiet; access was pretty easy. It was perfectly adequate for what I needed, and easily the most inexpensive place that I considered.

Stay away

The staff was friendly but from there everything went downhill. Once arriving to the room we found a stinky dilapidated room. I am sure the place was built at least fifty years ago and has never been updated. Between the appearance and the smell of the place my wife and I left. Later we found a very clean comfortable room in an adjacent city. We booked that hotel for two nights. After sleeping at the new hotel the next morning at 8:00am I went back to the Welch Hotel to see if I could get refunded the second night. I was told no even though we didn’t stay there either night. The reason being they couldn’t refund the deposit was because of the Oktoberfest celebrations in LaCrosse. Which makes no sense because there was a shortage of rooms. There is no way that they should be able to command $350 for a two night reservation regardless of the calendar. I fell prey just beware. Matt Johnson

The staff here was exceptional. The lady that checked us in made sure that we had everything that we needed .Her name was Melissa and she went above and beyond during our entire stay. That women needs some recognition and a raise. I would recommend this stay to all of my friends just because of he hospitality. Thank you Melissa for making our Christmas one to remember .

Comfy quiet

By far not a 5 star hotel, but comfortable and quiet! There wasn’t bath towels in the rest room and tub wasn’t the cleanest but it was satisfactory for an overnight trip. Beds were clean and very comfortable! Didn’t hear traffic or loud people! Would recommend for a comfortable overnight stay.

The Welch has cleaned up and remolded. The property is old but they have tried to fix it up. It was a comfortable stay. However, they no longer accept dogs. We have stayed there for many many years because of it's proximity to Goose Island and the duck hunting we do there. No longer, as they DO NOT allow dogs. Very foolish as we will know take our business elsewhere..

Great place to stay

I had a very pleasant stay at the Welch Motel. My room had everything I needed (except coffee, but they are reportedly getting coffee back in the office area in the near future). There was a small microwave and a nice sized refrigerator with a good freezer, not the tiny nonfunctional freezers you often find at hotels. The staff provided me with a hair dryer. I had to ask for it at the desk, but it was a full sized one and worked well. The room was very clean, the bathroom was spotless and the shower was very nice. I did have a little bit of an issue with the water getting a little chilly after a couple of minutes, but I imagine it's hard to work around an old plumbing system. It was fine, I managed. It was so quiet there! I felt like I had the place to myself, though I know I had someone next door. I didn't even hear his TV through the wall. The negatives: it would be great if they put a couple of towel hooks in the bathroom. There really wasn't a place to hang towels. And there was a slight musty smell in the room though I didn't smell it once I was in there a few minutes. Overall, I would recommend the Welch and I will likely stay there again. The owners are friendly and helpful. They do not keep the office unlocked (it's attached to their living quarters) but there's a phone out front and you just call them and they will let you in. I loved the nostalgia of the place. Felt like I went back to the 60s or 70s!

The office. Look at those old-type keys!

Quiet setting. Close to a variety of shops

Pleasant

The owners were very kind and pleasant to work with. I had a heating issue which I didn’t realize until the following day because I arrived late and they came over the next day to fix it. I needed some utensils and they were able to provide that they do not offer a coffee service in the morning but they have a coffee bar with a sign so you will need to get your own coffee or bring it with and heat it up in the room. The area has several places nearby to eat and Walmart is right down the road. The rooms are spacious. I had a 1000 had a walk-in shower. The shower was recently redone. They are working on repainting. It looks to me like they had painted the main wall in the bedroom, but the bathroom still needed to be done along with the other walls, I was there for a volleyball tournaments so I was just there to sleep and it was like a mini apartment. No-frills is definitely a motel and a hotel so the only thing you’re getting is the room there’s no breakfast or anything like that. I felt very comfortable there. It is old fashion where you actually have a key to open your door. They said that they owned one other motel in the area. My only recommendations were to be put different curtains up so it blocks all the lights because on the top, there’s a huge opening, and the light came through, because the rod that’s holding the curtains it’s too far away from the wall. It had a mini fridge in the mini fridge other freezer. There was a microwave and I had a quite large dresser.
