Cute Hotel
Cute boutique hotel. The room was decent size. The decor was lovely. The bed was very firm which I didn’t enjoy but my significant other didn’t have a issue. Was excited that they had an onsite coffee shop. That excited quickly faded as I paid 22.00 for gross coffee, a blueberry muffin without blueberries, and I didn’t attempt the yogurt parfait. Had to stop for gas station coffee on my way to work.

Win! Adorable and affordable.
Kenosha is adorable and this hotel is even more adorable! Decor is stylish and comfortable. Staff was lovely. Price was right. Definitely would stay here again and recommend! We were there over Thanksgiving and the rooftop bar was not open. This is not shocking given it was 20 degrees outside, but we would have braved it for a drink.

I stay here when visiting family and I usually have a good experience, but I was having coffee in my room the last morning I was there, with the “not now” sign on the door, and someone on staff just opened the door to come in. He apologized when he saw me, but the sign was out, check out isn’t until 11am and this happened at 930am, and he didn’t even knock. As a single woman traveling alone, this was extremely alarming. I usually have a good experience there, I’m sure I’ll return (there aren’t many hotels in Kenosha) but, yeah…not great for women traveling alone.

The management at the hotel was incredibly poor and showed no remorse after I reported seeing a bed bug. The manager displayed a complete lack of concern for my situation. I have photos and videos of the bed bug as evidence, but the experience was still the worst I've ever had. I'm genuinely hurt by their total lack of empathy following such a distressing encounter.
