Value Inn Kenosha I-94/Exit 344

"Stayed here out of necessity on a father son road trip in 2022. Being that I was on a tight budget and losing $140 earlier in the week by another hotel we didn't even stay at, this was our only option. Let me just say that this place sticks out like a sore thumb! I'll just say it, this place was a dump! It is so incredibly outdated and in need of soooo much work! They should just take a wrecking ball to it. The hotel looks like its from the 80's and does not come close to its other competition just across the street. Understandably, I'm not expecting a 5 star luxury hotel but they should meet minimum requirements. It felt like you entered the "bad part of town" when you drove in. I ended up paying $128 for a double bed room(weekend rate) and they could not get my credit card to work. That hassle took 45 arduous minutes and it was 90 degrees outside. AC was on but behind the enclosed counter! I had to stand there and roast to death. When we finally got our room, it was not very nice. I found dirt everywhere, mouse droppings, damaged walls, doors and floor boards. I checked the mattresses for bed bugs. Luckily, none to be found but there was trash between the mattress and box spring including a chip bag, used Kleenex, hair balls, empty beer cans under the bed and a dirty sock! Gross! The bathroom was appalling! Shower and tub were filthy and stained. Toilet was clean but very old and stained. Bathroom door had a hole like someone threw a bottle at it. The pictures I see online are nothing like what I saw. It's possible they had a remodel since then! (God, I hope they did!) We couldn't shower because of the bathroom. Just brushed our teeth in the sink and used a washcloth for a wipe down of our bodies. We kept our socks on any time we moved around in the room. The room and hotel felt unsafe. I'm an officer by day and a pretty good judge of shady people. There seemed to be a few of those types hanging around a parked van down a ways from our room. I saw them drinking and going in and out of multiple rooms so, I brought it to the attention of the manager. He told me they were "maintenance guys" and was not concerned. I told him they were drinking beer and going in and out of multiple rooms. He just said, "yeah, those are the rooms they're working in." Wow! I couldn't believe it! I felt totally dismissed but mostly, I didn't feel safe. My sidearm is always with me and that night, I slept with it on my pillow. I know hotels are popular places for "campers" looking to take advantage of visitors. Thankfully, we had no issues with them or anyone else. The day previous, the ice machine wasn't working. The manager said it would be fixed that evening. In the morning checking out, surprisingly it was. He was kind enough to allow me to fill my cooler with ice before we got back on the road. I'll say this, if the hotel was in fact remodeled, it looks decent now but the whole vibe of the place seems very off. When we stayed in 2022, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. Now...it's your call!"

"Sent friends here with limited budgets. Rooms were adequate for their needs. A couple restaurants nearby made it convenient."

"Very dirty and the staff are very rude and unhelpful. I was also bitten by a bedbug so I didn't stay nor did I get my money back back and I was only there for about 30 minutes. With proof of being bitten by a bedbug. They argued with me and said I was bitten somewhere else. It was a loss cause for a discussion with these people so I turned my key in and left with the loss of the room cost, which I must say was over priced."

"This place was very clean and the staff was nice. A very good experience. If I was going to need lodging, in that area, I would return there. Clean and inexpensive!"
