Very clean and friendly staff, outdoor patio was a welcomed suprise for pur room. Only problems were the shower was iffy and didn't have hot water at times and the beds were twrribly uncomfortable.
honestly, it completely did the trick! quiet space, comfy bed. motel could use some updating but everything was clean and the person checking us in was prompt and professional. no issues whatsoever, hard to beat!
Old and outdated. Only the minimum amount of upkeep. Had cable, yet the bare minimum of the channels were enabled. A/C worked but if you change a setting it would stop.
Convinately located to Fishing Harbors for Kenosha or Winthrop. Quite clean plenty of food options close by. I wish they could have coffee in the rooms or lobby. Great place for long wknd
I like that the owner was on the property. This is an older motel. But it was very very clean. We always check the rooms. It was nice to have a slider door with a patio outside. I plan to stay at this motel again. Clean and affordable.
We walked into the hotel, which felt like an "rent by the hour" hotel. Hotel smelled. Walked into room and flipped on the main light switch by the door, didn't work. Had to hunt for another light. Sheets were stained on one of the beds. Room had a "mildew" smell and the humidity was horrible. TV remote did not work. The TV was stuck on ROKU and could not get the cable box to work. The blankets on the bed are basically tissue paper.
We were in the room for about 30 and just decided to leave. It was already late and I did not feel like confronting the staff there.
Tell you what....STAY AWAY! RUN! Stay somewhere else! HOTELS.COM should take this hotel off their platform.
