6/10 Good

Very interesting, old hotel. Needs a lot of work. The breakfast items were sitting out for 2 days, including the juice. Don’t eat breakfast there! The owner was very nice and accommodating although his attire and personal appearance was extremely poor. We were the only people there. Maybe the hotels lack of upkeep is why. I don’t want this hotel to see its demise because of its historic value. Not sure we’ll return. This was our 4th time there, and each time it was under new ownership and went downhill each time. Too bad

Building is very old and needs repairs. Our room was not as advertised on Expedia. We were told we’d get a room that sleeps 5 and we got a room with two queen beds. The foot of the beds were facing one another, with a small walkway between. That was the extent of the size of the room. The room wasn’t dirty per se but it was really outdated, damaged and there were cob webs everywhere .The bathroom was spacious, although there was black mold in the shower. The gentleman manning the desk was very kind and considerate but let us know that Expedia did not charge us for any additional people meaning we were expected to pay an addition $20 for each of our 3 kids when we arrived at the hotel. This place is really not somewhere I would stay again and I would not only NOT recommend it, but I would tell others to avoid it.

2/10 Poor

Just Go! I booked a three night reservation through Expedia. I asked for a response from the hotel, but never received one. The hotel booked us on the third floor. I told the clerk who was new I wasn’t able to climb the stairs to the third floor. He called the owner many times to find out what to do. When he finally reached the owner, the owner’s response was “Tell them to go!” but we were supposed to pay for the three nights. It took two hours to get things settled- I had to pay for the first night. At 8:30pm we were lucky to find lodging. Expedia did credit partly us for the trouble, but what a mess. The hotel is old and creepy and the only way into the hotel is by having the clerk unbolt the door.

6/10 Good

The room had old thin sheer curtain, we could see into our neighbors room and vise versa(old building has rooms with a narrow way between main walls so windows are directly across from each other like just a few feet in between them) I mentioned this to owner, he wasnt too concerned but said he'd take the suggestion. Need more hooks for clothing, towels, etc and shelves or area around sink for toiletries. (Pedastal sink is outside bathroom and right in front of window where you see into other room).

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Karsten Hotel, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Definitely not your average hotel stay! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The check-in process was seamless and quick, making us feel welcome right away. The room was spacious, spotless, and uniquely decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable. What truly sets this hotel apart is the owner. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. His genuine hospitality and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident in every interaction. We highly recommend Karsten Hotel to anyone looking for a home away from home stay. We would definitely return on our next visit to Kewaunee. Emiliya B.

Hey yall if you travel with a ton of luggage be forewarned there is no elevator but if you travel light like me this place is absolutely TOPS. Alex has the greatest customer service and loved our puppy! Gave her cheese and everything 😁 i loved the hob knob decor and vintage chairs also you gotta check out the jaguar under the glass table in the lobby. Literally a 5 minute walk to the beach and pier at lake michigan, 30 minutes from green bay, right round the corner from a cheese shop and 2 seconds away from the bowling alley which is only 3$ per 10 frames. Straight up will be coming back here anytime we come to wisconsin. 10/10

Full of character! The history and character absolutely cannot be found at other hotels. Great value. Could certainly use some upkeep, but it is clean and comfortable. Nice proximity to the lake for a beautiful walk out to the lighthouse.

The hotel room was spacious and comfortable. There was an issue with our air conditioning and the staff changed our room right away. The hallways are quiet. Convenient street parking right in front. Don't let the lobby fool you, this is a gem.

Beautiful Quaint Hotel
If you are wanting a Holiday Inn type stay, keep looking but if you want a laid back stay with a gracious host, book this hotel. Alex is a wonderful host!! We had such nice visits with him! The front porch is so peaceful with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan!

Owner greeted us and was very friendly and chatty. The place is unique an amazing, wish we were staying longer to enjoy hanging in the lobby or the 2nd floor sitting area. Only downsides were wimpy shower output and no blinds on windows that faced east. Great AC though! Short walk to a good pub meal and super cold beers!
