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.

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.
