$$

This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Miles

The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in La Crosse offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in La Crosse offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-90 in La Crosse offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Visitors' Center - From I-90 take exit 3 (3-A if eastbound) and follow WI-35 (rose Street) southbound. WI-35 turns right one block later but Rose Street continues as US-53. You want to stay on Rose Street so follow the US-53 signs from this point. At Clinton Street, US-53 veers off at an angle to the right and Rose Street continues straight. We suggest you follow US-53 which is now Copeland Avenue.  (They rejoin a few blocks south of here.) US-53 goes through a whole menu of name; ignore the street names and follow the US-53 signs. You will be following the Mississippi River. At State Street, turn right and drive to the end. Turn right again on Veterans Memorial Drive and the La Crosse Area Convention & Visitor's Bureau is at 420 East Veterans Drive.
