This was a decent place to stay for a few nights while visiting La Crosse, but my sister and I found spiders in the room (on the bed and in the shower). The shower temperature was inconsistent - it would go from hot to scalding hot in a matter of seconds and then freezing cold. I had to constantly adjust it while taking a shower and that was annoying. But this didn't happen on the second morning, so I assume it's because of many other guests showering at the same time. This hotel doesn’t seem to want to answer their phones. I needed to contact them before my stay and their phone system just forwards on to Marriott’s customer service line. Come on! Breakfast was okay - constantly running out of hot food even though there weren't that many people in the breakfast area. Coffee in the thermos was cold and I alerted the attendant who fixed it promptly. Thank you! And what's up with the bread in the ziplock bags? Why are we still doing this? Is this for "COVID SAFETY?" Because that's a bunch of nonsense and you know it. There is no reason to be so wasteful, wasting all that plastic on each individual slice of bread, plus you have a staff member manhandling each slice as she puts it into the bag. If you're that concerned, bag up each piece of fruit! Bag up the hard boiled eggs! And for good measure, why not bag up each individual sausage too? So dumb, illogical, and wasteful for the environment. What's wrong with that see-through case you had, where guests could self serve with tongs? Also, enough with the excuses for housekeeping. You're still banging on about safety? Really? So you mean to tell me that it's okay for the front desk attendant to put their life on the line and be in contact with all the guests but a housekeeper can't enter an EMPTY room to change the bedsheets? The breakfast attendant is okay to wipe tables off IN FRONT OF GUESTS, but a housekeeper can't wipe down the sink in an empty room? PLEASE. It's not safety. It's staffing - and you likely don't WANT to hire the help because it saves money. Spare us the lame covid excuses, we are not dumb. Here's an idea - take those hours that you're having a staff member bagging up the bread slices and use those hours for housekeeping. This will spare you from the negative reviews that you're getting on housekeeping AND it helps the environment. This advice is free - I'm available for an additional consulting fee if you need more ideas ;)
