Traveling In

Getting Here

La Crosse is easier to reach than you might think.

Accommodations

Staying in the Area

La Crosse has a full range of national hotel chains near both the clinic and the hospital. For patients traveling in from out of the area, our recommendation is The Charmant Hotel — a boutique hotel in a beautifully restored historic building on the downtown La Crosse riverfront, with an excellent restaurant and easy access to everything you'll need during your stay.

If you're staying for several days around surgery, consider a hotel with in-room refrigeration for post-operative needs, and ask our team — we're happy to point you toward options that work well for recovering patients.
