    Horrible experience ordered a drink did not seem like the drink had very much alcohol init the…read moremanager/owner came over asked the bartender for a shot glass and proceeded to pour the alcohol into a shot glass on all over the bar " saying I'm not giving away drinks I am here to make money" making the customer feel embarrassed. By the 8 people they had at the bar at 7:30 pm on a holiday weekend night. Shame on them bad customer service!! Lost multiple customers from this experience!!

    Been there many times over the past 20 years. Just trying to support local businesses, but I have…read moreto say, I have never been impressed with the food, drinks, or the service. Today's experience was the final straw. When I saw how little alcohol was poured into the super cheap Walmart opaque plastic cup of my friends drink, I commented on it to the 18 year old bartender. And she called the owner/ manager over. The owner proceeded to pour the alcohol In His drink out into a tiny one ounce plastic "shot glass" and then flowed the small remainder onto the bar (which she left for me to clean up). She was talking down to us the entire time and saying that she isn't in the business to give away free drinks. Absolutely absurd! A better approach might have been to pretend the customer matters and not try to humiliate them in front of friends and employees! No wonder the place was almost empty at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night of the biggest boating weekend of the year! Won't be back and will make sure everyone I know hear a this story.

    I am writing to say BEWARE and WATCH IT when dealing with this houseboat rental company. Firstly,…read moreI would like to say that when we arrived at the Lacross Marina, where the Mississippi River Rentals houses their boats, we were kind of saddened by the state the entire marina was in. The washrooms are so scary I thought I was going to get murdered in them, and the staff at this marina are all but helpful. A group of my friends wanted to rent a houseboat for the beginning of the summer season of 2013, and we used the Houseboat Reservation website of Hucks Houseboats Rentals http://www.hucks.com/index.php. When we originally booked the reservation, the Hucks website did not say that it was no longer affiliated with Mississippi River Rentals. The changeover happened within days. FINE. But we should have at least received a boat or at least our money back. Neither of these options happened!!!! At first, a lady named Christine who was managing the building at the time of arrival was not giving us much information. She said the boat that we had rented was having engine trouble and needed the night to be repaired. When we came back the next day, the boat was still in disrepair, and they said that they could still get us a boat anyway. They drove us down to a shipyard where a houseboat was dry-docked and did not even have an engine in it. There was no way this boat could be water ready in 24 hours! There was a dead bird that had disintegrated in the hottub, dishes in the sink, and trashy looking beds. Hucks Houseboat Rentals could not give us the deposit back because of they had already liquidated it and the company seems to be bankrupt. I would call this a scam, but I really think it was a deal gone horribly wrong. I would never do business with either of these companies and I recommend to always have a contract and pay by credit card so that the credit card company can stand by you. I would be so happy to see my money again, but I hope these companies drown on their own boats.

    Beware is right. The company is going under. We had a terrible experience. Only 1 of the 2 motors…read moreran so we could not go through a lock. They promised to have a replacement motor but it did happen. The ac was broke and they kept promising to fix it but they never did. It was so hot at night, we did not sleep for 5 nights. They communicate on lies. If you did not send your full payment DO NOT. The company is dealing with legal problems from a boat that sank in May. http://lacrossetribune.com/news/police-investigating-houseboat-company/article_928fd846-e45a-11e2-b45b-001a4bcf887a.html
