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.

Just ok

Check in was strange… you have to use a phone to call the desk. Originally I was given a key to a room that already had someone in it. Got that figured out. Property is run down, all buildings need paint and repairs. The room as ok. Shower floor had a chunk out where the drain is, and the exhaust fan needs to be cleaned. The bed was fine and bedding clean. TV is hung crooked on the wall. Window AC was kind of loud but kept my room clean. Overall, stay was ok. Probably won’t stay again though.

Good hotel at reasonable price

This hotel has the basic amenities in the room, but is adequate for what i needed for my trip and why it has such a reasonable rate. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable which met my desires for this trip.

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.

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.

Never will stay here again

Not so good. People next to me must have been long term renters and were fighting and yelling all night. Could not get to sleep Hot water on sink didn’t work. Tv didn’t work. Not worth the price. Check in was rude. Was concerned about security if my credit card

After taking my credit card - she immediately handed it back & said the credit card machine was not working. I needed to pay cash. I told her that I didn't have that much cash. she acted surprised & told me to find an ATM machine. I knew that on looking @ the reviews in August of this year someone else had to pay cash. When I mention that she became very defensive & said she had been working there for 8 yrs & this had never happened before.AC very loud - tough to sleep. No security chain - broken off. Screen door broken. TV very small. The worst place I have ever stayed at.

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 nostalgic look of the place.

The office. Look at those old-type keys!

Quiet setting. Close to a variety of shops

Freezing cold

This motel was just as I expected for the low dollar that it cost me. I was uncomfortable only because I was so cold. The thermostat had been set on only 50 degrees. I arrived to my room at 9:00pm and turned the heat up at that time. It took several hours to get the room heated because everything was so cold. The temperature outside was 22 degrees. I took my shoes off and went to bed with all my clothes on including my jacket. And I wrapped a bath towel around my head in an effort to retain my own heat. I had a fitful night. My legs kept cramping because of the cold bed. I had to get up repetitively and sit by the wall heater. I wrapped a bath-towel around my legs and the heater so that the hot air could warm them up. Each time I got up I turned the thermostat up another 5 degrees. By morning I had it all the way up to 95 degrees and still the room felt only like 68-70. This is because the whole room had been so very cold for so long that it took a long time to get it warmed up again. The staff should have set their minimal temp at around 65 degrees rather than 50 in the winter time in Wisconsin.

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

Nothing special

It was a place to lay your head. The bedding was clean BUT the towels in the bathroom were Dingy. The bathroom had Cigarette burns all over in it and it looked like tar or BM was rubbed on the walls. I will find a different hotel/motel when I stay in that area again.

You get what you pay for

The electric wall outlets didn't work in most of the room. There was a bucket under the air conditioner to catch condensate. The bathroom sink drain was almost completely clogged. The bed and the shower were very good, though.

I didn’t like that the air was NOT on in my room when I checked in it was 90 and humid outside so my room must have been 100 and humid. If you have the room rented put the air on in the morning so your guests can be comfortable as soon as they walk into there room !! No one was in the office when we arrived at 6:00pm not cool .and I do not like that the outside light can not be turned off bugs flying into the room lighting up the room even with the curtains closed.
