I'm from Kenosha and live out of town, but visit about 2x/year and always stay at the BW harborside. Overall, my wife and I are pleased with the rooms and service, great location. On the last visit just a few weeks ago I noticed there was a lot of noise, partying of college students is my guess. Access to the... More

We were a bit hesitant based on latest reviews but took a chance and glad we did. Sneaky clean, pleasant and friendly staff and a fantastic harbor view. Highly recommended. The first floor is being renovated but that caused no problem at all.

We stayed here as part of a package deal with the Kenosha Marathon. The room was similar to the pictures. It was clean and comfortable. One bed was squeaky, the other wasn't. The mattresses were rather soft, but this is a personal preference. The whirlpool was a little short on whirl, but it was clean and hot. Although many guests... More

After suffering through what is undoubtedly the worst room in this hotel (302)-my window faced a brick wall, it's somewhat difficult to be objective. The front desk staff was very friendly and nice, even though they were not able to comply with a late checkout request. Because of a special event, they did put out some of the breakfast items...

The hotel was in a great location with a nice view of the harbor. I enjoyed walking around the downtown area and the path next to the lake. You are in walking distance to a few restaurants and bars The hotel has very thin walls!!!. I woke up several times with people walking down the hallway talking, doors that shut... More

I was hesitant on the negative reviews but I stayed at BW anyway. It is under new management as of about a year ago and they are working on updating the facilities. There were old mattresses being tossed out and noticed that ours seemed to be new so that was a plus. Yes, the hot tub was not working and... More

This was one of the worst experiences ever. After spending 15 hours on the road we just wanted to check in and get some sleep. I was in town for a personal family matter and I had an important meeting to attend the next morning. We were traveling on a tight budget and had planned for every penny of this... More

I wouldn't say our stay was bad, but not the best we've ever had traveling. Pros - The room was cheap, the lake side view was awesome, great for sunriseview, walking distance to the museums, bars, dinning, and shopping. The breakfast was great, lost of food choices. (scrambled eggs, croisants, bagels, muffins, cereal, sausage, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea.). The room... More
