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.
