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Old and outdated.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.
