Verified Reviews of The Stella Hotel & Ballroom
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Beautifully Renovated Hotel is Lovely!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Stella is a beautifully renovated hotel once used as The Elks Club in Kenosha. As part of a revitalization of the city it offers a conveniently located and lovely place to stay especially with Carthage College nearby. The bar area is lovely as is the lobby. Personnel are friendly and courteous. I was able to check in about an hour early at my convenience. Parking was free and easy. It was a very nice reunion weekend made even nicer by the lovely accommodations at The Stella.
