Little on the older side, cheap and just a place to lay down for a few hours.
Tim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Karsten is not a high end hotel, but if you like the vibe of an antique store, you will love this hotel. Has views of Lake Michigan and is walking distance to variety of eating and entertainment establishments.

Experience you need to try.
It was a very unique experience. Alex was amazing(owner). Very happy to assist our needs and show us the unique property.

The owner is very nice and will go out of his way to make sure you're stay is amazing. The hotel has so much history inside. Loved the decor. I really can't stress how amazing the owner is. He made our stay. He showed us the bar which is amazing with its orginal floor and stained glass.

The historic building was great to stay in. We heard the foot steps the first night, and the music the second. Could have been our imagination of course.

This is an OLD hotel. I love old hotels. It has personality, character and it's own identity. It also has wear and tear. If you want boring corporate cookie cutter facilities, stay elsewhere. If you want a true travel experience, stay here.

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!
Vera, 3-night trip

We love the Karsten Hotel!! Alex is a wonderful host, very friendly and accommodating. We love the mystery and history of this place. We look forward to our next stay!!
JULIE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Joe, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very old, rundown motel. We didn't even have curtains or blinds of any kind in our room. I felt very unsafe the entire night and would never stay here again
Erin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cool and unique old property. Owner/staff were great. Definately not your "big chain" hotel. Will definately consider returning the next time we stay in Kewaunee!
Jeffery, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Will, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
THOMAS, 1-night trip

The ceiling was leaking when I checked in the bathroom toilet would not flush The continental breakfast was offered whenever management woke up And the factory next door was working overtime so I got to listen to machines running all night

No lighting on in the building. Very dark.
Patricia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poor lighting on the stairs and upper floors. Rooms ok. The hotel is over 100 years old and so is the bed and pillows. No curtains on windows. Owner very friendly and helpful. Good for a cheap over night stay.
Bruce, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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
Lisa J Sharon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked a room for the weekend and was less than impressed with our stay. The king suite I requested was not what we were given. The hotel was dingy, and unkept at best. The bed sheets did not appear to be clean nor did the towels. They were stained and questionably washed. The fridge was dirty, and the shower appeared to be uncleaned as well. The curtains in our room were falling down, and the furniture looked dated and sourced from an old antique store. Not to mention the number of creepy dolls, and trinkets placed around the hotel. The place itself had a very off-putting vibe, which is very unfortunate considering it could be a great historical spot if it was well-kept. I would not recommend staying here. Stay at your own discretion.

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
