Ants

Upon arrival, the hotel was beautiful. The room was adorable. However. Once we got settled and went to bed, my partner and I woke up to ants crawling all over us. We were only given a partial refund from the hotel. Most likely won’t be staying again.

Only there one night.

Room was spotless and comfortable. Really like the walk-in showers with shampoo, body scrub and conditioner rack attached to the wall. Our only comment on the room is that the mattresses aren't the most comfortable. Kind of hard. Hotel bar was great. Hotel location is very convenient to Kenosha downtown.

Humility

Ummmm most humiliating experience of my 69 yrs of living! Because we had most of our out of town family staying there for my brother in laws life celebration we didn't check out ! AND we recommended supporting local and everyone followed our lead, doubtful we will ever stay here again! Granted Kenny apologized the following evening but the damage had already been done! The gal catered to all the younger men in our group!

Beautifully restored historic building, very charming. But there was no drive up/drop off capability. So you had to drop your things off on the sidewalk and park elsewhere, then carry everything up the stairs into the lobby.
