卡斯滕飯店

Very different hotel. It’s not like anything we stayed at before. It’s a historic building with lots of cool decor. However along with the historic building also came a slight musty smell. The hotel is locked and generally no one is at the desk so getting in and out is a challenge. The owner who ran the desk was very confused as to how to work the computer to check us in. We had to help him find our reservation. He was a very nice man. All wood floors creaked as we walked up the stairs to our room. Room was clean but the zacuzzi tub was not exactly inviting. The hotel is beautiful and would be a must see once but no more. Went down at 7 am and no one was around for breakfast. Started the coffee pot myself. Pricing was good.

Friendly staff make you feel like family from the moment you check-in. Open windows filtered in the freshness of Lake Michigan. The lobby is large and filled with historic items. There are free snacks and drinks in a breakfast room that has an attached porch. We have a hobby of ghost hunting but we didn't choose to do it because our focus was just relaxation. The overall vibe is positive and I would love to go back.

Stayed here for a wedding down the road. The hotel is old, which is really neat. The decor was ok. There were some very neat antique pieces, but then there were also strange knick knacks and signs like "Home sweet home" which kind of threw off the back-in-time vibe that I think they were going for. The bartender, Steven, was incredibly nice and helpful. However, the bar was very dark and the leather on the stools was falling apart. The dining room seemed nice, but the kitchen looked very dirty. I didn't go down for breakfast after viewing the items the day before - opened boxes of cereal sitting out and bananas well past their expiration date with fruit flies everywhere. The coffee is from a Coffee Mate pot like you have at home. There is no elevator, which was fine with me but could be a problem for people who can't walk upstairs as all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs. We got the jacuzzi suite, but it was anything but a suite. It was incredibly small. There were two chairs for the desk, but you could only actually pull one out to use because the other one was blocked in by the TV stand. There was a mini fridge, but it was full of water, so we couldn't use it. Only two pillows on the bed. The jacuzzi was just the shower tub. The bathroom was very dark. There was no place to hang the handtowel by the sink, which is outside the bathroom. The room was pretty dirty. I did not take my socks off on the hardwood floor. The windows would have been nice to look out but they were so dirty with cobwebs and dead bugs. Lastly, there were no curtains in the room, which had two gigantic windows! We were woken up at 5:15 AM at sunrise. Not fun. I have a lot more comments but will spare you the time. Look elsewhere if you need to stay in Kewaunee.
