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.
