Filthy smelly room. We were given a better room after I told them about our room. The young man at the counter was very nice. I am given it a 2 star because there is no reason why they would put anyone in a nasty room. This is the hotels primary job, to accommodate guests with a clean room after a long day of travel. This should never happen. Although the second room was down the hall it was still an inconviniece that could have been avoided. Hopefully the hotel management takes this seriously and they will do better for their future guests.

We come to Kenosha often and stay at The Stella whenever we can. Tyler was amazing at the front desk, very accommodating. We always get a Heritage room. Have tried others and weren’t near as pleased. We had dinner at the restaurant and were not impressed. Poor service and just ok food. The breakfast/coffee area is amazing. Food/coffee are very good, but that sweet girl runs her tail off and always has a smile! She’s awesome! We’ve stayed here at least 5 years and tried Scoops across the street for the first time. Do it!!! We’re hooked. We love, love, love the Stella!

The hotel was great, comfortable. Only comment is that if you stay more than one night, must ask to have room made up and/ or new towels. However, when I found that out- they gave me towels etc- immediately.
