⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|We stayed here for a girls’ trip, and this place was absolutely amazing! The rooms were spotless, modern, and super comfortable. Every staff member we encountered was so pleasant and accommodating, which made our stay even better.|We especially loved the bar and restaurant attached to the hotel — so convenient after enjoying a few drinks! The food was excellent, and breakfast the next morning was just as impressive. The eggs tasted fresh, the locally roasted coffee was delicious, and the pastries were incredible.|The hotel’s location is beautiful too — we loved being able to walk down by the river to relax and take in the view. Overall, this hotel exceeded all our expectations. We would 100% stay here again!

My first stay here. Cozy and welcoming! Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room had soft thoughtful accents and I could tell they truly care for their guests. I will absolutely stay here again when I am in the area.

This hotel is hands down amazing. The rooms are spotless,it is super modern feeling and hotel staff were perfectly professional. The view was beautiful and you can walk down by the river which is great for relaxing. Breakfast was incredible. The eggs were real eggs and the locally roasted coffee and fresh pastries were so delicious. They also had some herbal tea called Passion that was very relaxing after a long work day. The hotel is nice and quiet and the doors close out hallway sound perfectly. Parking is spacious with a huge gravel truck parking lot in the back if you have a bigger vehicle or a trailer. Overall I think this hotel deserves every bit of 5 stars. I had a very pleasant stay. PS I don't recommend eating at the Backwater. Drinks are watery and food was downright terrible. I'll leave more on that in a separate review.

This hotel was absolutely wonderful in every way! You can tell somebody has taken the time for little details everywhere you look! Everything was spotless clean and shiny! The beds were delightful beautiful to the eye and extremely comfortable to sleep on! And I especially loved the flooring with no carpet in the rooms! I called and spoke with Jane, before staying to see if they could hold something in a freezer overnight for me which they graciously did! They were very helpful upon setting up my room and also upon arrival. The staff was absolutely amazing and accommodating in every way! And then I'm at the owner She was wonderful as well! This hotel was extremely affordable for all the amenities and accommodations given. Overall a 10 out of 10! This is such a charming, beautiful place to stay!

Jane greeted us warmly and found a nice river view room for us despite not having a reservation. She offered us a kind gift as were celebrating a milestone birthday! The king suite room was beautiful! Wish I could decorate so well. Spotless and had every amenity we needed! Beautiful lobby for a nice continental breakfast in morning. Great coffee. Couldn't have been happier will stay again when we travel this direction. Restaurant attached has excellent staff and great food/drink options.

We stayed at Waterfront Hotel last week and were very pleased with this establishment. We had some special requests for wheelchair bound person and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe during our stay. The room was beautiful and very clean. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The bar and grill had great food and the atmosphere and welcoming was continued there. WE Will definitely be back for another stay.

This place was great! The rooms were very clean, and the people were very pleasant & accommodating. We loved the bar/restaurant that was attached to the hotel! So convenient after having a few beers! And the food was excellent. We would absolutely stay there again.

The person that checked us in was polite and friendly. We stayed in a King with river view. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Loved the luxury vinyl flooring in the room. Bed was very comfortable. We had dinner at the attached bar and grill. Food and service was good and in line with other bar and grill price wise. Liked the towels that were available to wipe the dew off our motorcycle. Definitely a great place to spent a night or more. Very close to Lawler Park which was fun to walk around and explore after our meal.

Over the last three years I've stayed at the Waterfront Hotel twice. They have beautiful rooms and one of the best hotel breakfasts around. The location is very walkable, with the river and restaurants nearby. Pro tip - avoid the second floor if you can, because sound from the lobby and breakfast area tends to travel up.

This hotel was clean and had a nice updated decor. I stayed in a King room. It included the normal amenities of a coffee bar, microwave and mini refrigerator. The lobby was cozy, and they serve a complimentary continental breakfast. I would caution you about the donuts. Unfortunately, they were not fresh. For a hardier meal, you may opt to go somewhere else for breakfast as there were only limited items. They did offer two types of coffee, regular drip and something called "Mississippi Grogg". I do recommend trying the Mississippi Grogg. It was flavorful and a pleasant start to my morning. If you enjoy nature, this hotel is located on the water as the name would indicate. In the morning, we spotted a Bald Eagle and other waterfowl nearby.

Clean rooms and comfortable bed. The shower was hot with good water pressure. There wasn't any coffee pods in the room for coffee pot and the TV you have to turn up to hear. The continental breakfast was good. They had pastries and donuts, eggs and sausage, cereal and more. The checkin and out process was easy too. This was a good stay.

I stayed at the Waterfront Hotel as a last-minute decision while in the area hiking at Effigy Mounds and Pike's Peak. The hotel decor is modern, clean, and very inviting. The rooms have a more unique feel than you'd find at a normal chain hotel. The back side of the hotel overlooks a backwater section of the Mississippi (unfortunately, when I stayed the water levels were very low, so there wasn't much to see). On the second floor of the hotel is the Backwater bar, a good place to get a drink or dinner, with large doors that open to to a deck, fresh air, and the same river view. It was nice to be able to get a good meal there without having to venture out, and seemed to be popular with the locals as well. The included breakfast was tremendous - eggs, biscuits, fruit, sausage, donuts, cereal, basically all you could ask for. The hotel is right in the historic district, and it's easy to go out for a walk around there or across the bridge and to St Feriole Island Park for a stroll. The only downside I saw is that the hotel is right next to the bridge over the Mississippi and the traffic noise (motorcycles and trucks) was more than I prefer.

My husband and I just spent a few nights at the Waterfront. We love staying here. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Rooms are clean and spacious. Especially the warm cookies and hot chocolate bar in the evening.

I ask upon check in to have a room that would be in a quiet area of hotel. The manager put us in room 113. It was the worse hotel room I've ever stayed in. Outside my window was a huge exhaust fan that was so loud it vibrated the bed. Bedsides that it was just below a noisy bar restaurant at the hotel. After a horrible night we asked to cancel our second night as we were not happy with the hotel or the accommodations. The hotel was advertised as a boutique hotel with river views! It was on a pond and pictures on the website are way nicer than it actually is! Rooms have old dingy towels, crappy pillows and scratchy sheets! The manager said that was their policy to charge for both nights even though we were unhappy with the hotel but she would talk to the owner and see what she could do! We checked out at 8am on Saturday morning and I'm sure they could refilled the room which I am sure they did and just doubled dipped As They charged us for Saturday night! They said it's their policy to charge customers for the entire stay if they check out early! Well my policy is that if a hotel treats its customers that way I will tell everyone that you may want to book a room across the street at another hotel when visiting Praire du Chien! Throughout the entire hotel industry only 15% of all hotels have this type of policy! I've been in the hospitality industry for 20 years and I've never had a hotel charge me for a nights stay after I checked out! They charged me 500.00 for a one night stay! Shame on you WaterFront Hotel!

Opened October 2019. A beautiful, new hotel on the water in the historic district of Prairie du Chien. Gorgeous view of the water from every room on the back of the hotel. Rooms have big windows. I stayed here for a full 7 days. Excellent service from staff who were all pleasant, well trained (not one "well, I don't know"), and accommodating to our needs. The breakfast that's included with your stay is delicious. Real scrambled eggs. Real biscuits. Real gravy. Real sausages. Great selection of baked goods and pastries. Never did I feel bored with the selection.

We requested and got an ADA accessible room with a riverview. The rooms are very roomy for even a scooter. The couch is so low you cannot get out of. The bed is so high you need a stool to get into it. Our riverview is electrical boxes along with garbage outside our window with a view of weeds. Expect a well cared for place for the price. You should also have a way to open the door without a heavy weight trying to close it. You need another person to hold door open. There should be a canopy for loading and unloading at entrance. You get wet when raining. Also you only have only 2 handicap parking spots in the front. The bathroom is handicap accesible. Would not stay here again.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! From our check-in with a friendly woman at the counter, the popcorn, cookies and warm apple cider offered at no cost, and the nice continental breakfast served in the lobby! We had a very spacious room with a view of the river and it was so lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable with lots of soft pillows. The room itself was tastefully decorated and even had an electric, remote fireplace. I would highly recommend this hotel!

It's a cute hotel. Overpriced overall. If you are on the first floor be prepared to not sleep in. The first morning we were woken up by the noise in the breakfast area. The second morning it sounded like two teenage boys wrestling in the room above us. Figured out it was most likely house keeping at 6am!! The wood floors look nice, but not a good idea! Called the front desk after an hour to see if they would stop, she was not nice, nor did it stop. I would not pay $250 to stay here again.
