There is not hotel parking at all! Your options are across the street at the very busy ice cream shop, or, across the other street at the church parking lot. Neither are that far. However, if you have any bags, either parking lot are not that close or convenient! The front desk staff does not know the rules of the city as far as parking- even though they tell you to park at the places already mentioned. For a high priced hotel, it was a surprising disappointment.

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

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!
