A Surprisingly Quirky History

The hotel itself has a story. It started as a smaller motel back in the 90s. They’ve since upgraded – significantly – and are now a Microtel, but the vibe remains pretty laid-back. Fun fact: the original location was built near the historic Prairie du Chien State Park, so nature's always nearby.

Did you know the area was a major trading hub for Native American tribes centuries ago? It's fascinating to think about all the stories held within those riverbanks. The hotel embraces this history with some subtle nods to the area’s past – but without feeling stuffy, you know?
