    Unique stay in Door County
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Bed - Second floor
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Entry way into 2nd floor rooms was very musty. Rooms were sized ok for one person, but would be very cramped for two.

    Definitely a unique hotel in the decor and accommodations. Location was convenient to nice shops and restaurants which was great.

    There was a bit of a musty smell in the lobby and hallway, but it wasn't overpowering and didn't bother me. It wasn't as noticeable in the room.

    Cute place to stay within walking distance of shopping and restaurants as well as walking routes such as the Bridge Loop and Bay Walk. In the room, there was a three ring binder with information about the motel, restaurant menus, etc. The pictures are accurate, the room was comfortable, and the A/C worked. It was very quiet when I stayed in June.

    I was in town for the Door County triathlon. The location was convenient and we loved the charm of the motel! It was unique and told a story. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We would love to come back and stay here again!

    The central air wasn’t working and it was super hot and humid. The staff was apologetic and attentive. They had already purchased and installed air conditioning units throughout the motel and the room was cool and comfortable for the whole stay.

    The fun retro decor was neat. We are both musicians and love the support this venue gives to local musicians. The common kitchen area was a great little nook with everything you need. We had leftovers and a cooler with food- the kitchen helped to feel more homey and I could use real dishes and silverware without disposable waste. Eco friendly is always a plus in my book.

    For the price - nothing to complain about. This is a 1953 motel/hotel that’s been restored to its full glory. Still had all of conveniences needed. The owners are musicians and there is a lot of guitar and music memorabilia. Original 1950’s furniture in every room. Centrally located in Sturgeon Bay.

    Super friendly staff, room exceptionally clean and a great retro vibe. There is a cafe area where you can get water and coffee - and prepare some basic foods like toast. The room had a binder that had FAQ’s and every restaurant in the area menu.
