I was only there for one night but the staff was very friendly and helpful and free parking across the street was a great perk! Cleanliness is most important to me and Stella checked that box 100%!!

The Stella is a hidden gym and I would actually travel to Kenosha to spend a quiet couple of nights at this hotel. The rooms are amazing. They have a great rooftop bar. There’s dining and a coffee bar in the morning. Staff is professional. This hotel was definitely the cherry on the cake of my business trip!

We loved the quaintness of the rooms and hotel. The area is fun to walk and see the old and new of Kenosha. The shampoo and shower gel was Beekman and oh so heavenly! The room felt damp though; maybe due to an unfinished ceiling.

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful! The building/room itself was showing signs of wear and had some bad design decisions: impractical bathroom sink, concrete ceiling that amplified sound, noisy AC unit, the usual leaky glass shower door. It's a lovely property and great location, I hope the owners will keep these things in mind for the next renovation

Property is clean and convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. Do not expect your room a minute before the 4:00 check in. The hotel is very nice and updated. The room was nice but hard to sleep due to noisy (rattled all night) air conditioner. Also, the smoke detector has an obnoxious flashing light all night long. If you like total darkness to sleep you are in trouble as the flashing light lights up the room.
