Was their for my son's Navy boot camp graduation. The hotel was very welcoming and is pro military. After graduation, we went back to the hotel to let my son decompress. We went to the lobby to get some quick pictures by the fireplace with the US Flag above it. A gentleman that worked there offered to take a family pic of my wife my son and I. Afterwards, he thanked my son for his service and had tremendous more kind words for my son. It brought tears to my wife and I how proud we are of our...

Kenosha is adorable and this hotel is even more adorable! Decor is stylish and comfortable. Staff was lovely. Price was right. Definitely would stay here again and recommend! We were there over Thanksgiving and the rooftop bar was not open. This is not shocking given it was 20 degrees outside, but we would have braved it for a drink.

If you’re going to Chi for PIR, this is a GREAT location! I’m from Florida and was SHOCKED at how nice everyone was everywhere we went. The hotel is clean and 12 minutes from RTC. Surrounded by many shops, restaurants, Walmart, dollar tree, and Sarges Dinner location. Safe, great breakfast, steaming of the graduation in the dining room for those that don’t have a ticket, a hot dog social for families after the graduation when you take your Sailor to the room to rest/change to Civies. Can’t say...

We stayed for our son's boot camp graduation and this place was convenient and clean. They really understood the needs of the visiting military families with gift and information packets.
