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.

This is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed at for this price. I've paid $130/night at chain hotels that have given bare bones experiences before, but this was a great, clean room in a beautiful hotel. Staff was very kind as well. Parking was at garage on the corner of the street, but the walk over only takes a minute. There's a cute ice cream shop across the street as well.
