I really enjoyed my stay here and the staff was quick to correct a few issues that arose. But — I got charged for two cocktails after check out when I only enjoyed one of them. There were three cocktails when I checked in and two remained when I left. When I called to follow up on the charges, they said that housekeeping marked that two were used, even though it should have been only one. They didn’t correct the issue, so I essentially paid $40 for a pre-made Old Fashioned. Not cool. I will find somewhere else to stay on my next trip out to see my family.

This is a charming building that has been turned into a hotel. One of our favorite places to stay in Kenosha. The area is cute and during summer you can walk to the outdoor market and lots of great shops and restaurants.

If you don’t mind dragging your suitcase up 3 flights of 10 steps just enter the front door where no one greets you, no bellhop in sight, and you feel like you’ve entered a courtroom, after Driving 1 hr from the airport, then this is the place for you. If you don’t mind 3 unsmiling employees sitting behind a desk, while you struggle with you suitcase , this is, again, the hotel for you. I keenly felt like I was disrupting the nice day the three people behind the desk was having. Worst of all, they don’t allow pets!?!? The only thing they consistently well is charge exorbitant prices so you can feel good about yourself when you tell friends you stayed at the Stella. I’ll take the Hampton Inn over in 6th street which is right in the water, a walking/running path, and you’re welcomed like family for a lot less. Stay away from Stell!

This is a beautiful hotel with a lovely rooftop bar and restaurant on the first floor that was both nice and reasonable. There is a downside that may depend on what room you are in. People in Kenosha are not big fans of mufflers and my room was on a street corner. The room shook at times. I did love the place, saw a swing band on a lower floor, went for ice cream across the street. Sleeping? A bit harder.
