We had a great experience during our stay here in Sturgeon Bay last weekend. Price was reasonable…read moreat $149 on a weekend night. The owner is super nice and helpful and goes above and beyond to help her guests enjoy the area. She has a sitting room with books and pamphlets on things to do in the area as well as restaurant menus on nearby places to eat. The room was nice and clean with our own whirlpool and fireplace with a shared balcony. She brought breakfast to our room around 830: a pastry, egg bake, and parfait with OJ that were tasty and we were able to eat in bed. Checkout isn't until 11 which is nice if you want to sleep in and not rush getting ready. There is also an associated lakeshore with chairs and a fire pit which we enjoyed. We would return here if we came back. It was a romantic place to stay.

We visited the Inn a couple of weeks ago and were a bit disappointed. First the owner took us to a…read moredifferent room then what we had reserved and I had to remind her that this room looked different then what we expected. We were then directed to the correct room. The water for the tea was cold and I had to warm up the water in the microwave which is a big no-no for a tea drinker:) Breakfast was terrible, we were unable to eat much of it. I have stayed in other bed and breakfast places in Door County and always had a wonderful breakfast freshly cooked and offered in the dining room every morning to provide an opportunity to socialize with other guests and the host. We actually never really saw the host through our 3 day stay. I don't think we would ever recommend anyone or come back to the Inn, which is a shame. Apart from these issues, the view was wonderful and the room was comfortable and clean.

This place is right on the water and just a little bit away from it all, yet still close enough to…read moredowntown Sturgeon Bay so you're a short drive away. Our room had everything we needed: a kitchen with all included dishware, paper towels, coffee filters, etc., a nice updated shower with good water pressure, a fold out couch/sofabed (which we used, so it was definitely a necessity!), flat screen smart TVs with all the hookups for your apple TV etc if you choose to bring it (this is a must for us in the evenings since we like to watch our shows and chill out before bed) and a balcony with table & chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view. Our room was a bit humid - since we had the wall unit A/C and a fan in the main bedroom it never fully cooled down to where we would have liked it, but it was tolerable (we were out and about so much during our time in Door County, so we really weren't at the resort too much except to sleep!). I maybe heard a small amount of hall noise here and there but very rare (we were on the third floor). I never heard any of our neighboring units, so that was a big plus. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. We used the washer/dryer and ice machine, as well as took advantage of the free coffee (delicious!). We also needed to print a couple of documents and were able to do that on a computer near the front desk on the second floor. We did not use the pool facilities, but both the indoor and outdoor pool looked very clean and many people were using both daily. The housekeeping is a bit unique in that can specify if you would like someone to enter your suite to clean/empty trash, replace towels, etc. or if you would just like replacement items (if this is the case you can fill out a dry erase form and place it outside your suite).

We arrived on Friday around 5 p.m., and not a single parking spot was in sight. We ended up next door in an unpaved lot that was also packed, but with a little maneuvering (and some light praying), I managed to squeeze my car into something that vaguely resembled a space. At check-in, we asked what the parking policy was for paying guests. The front desk clerk smiled and said, "You will always have a spot." I looked at her and said, "Well... I don't now." And mentioned the joy of hauling all my stuff across two parking lots. She explained it was the Friday fish fry chaos, and that Saturdays and Sundays are just as fun with fish boils twice a day. Her advice? Come back late enough and you'll be golden. She wasn't wrong, but still. A little stressful. Now for the positives! The room had a fridge and microwave, which came in handy, and a sliding door that opened to a cute little courtyard. The beds were surprisingly comfy, and everything was clean. The room did have that slightly musty "I live near a lake" vibe, but nothing too tragic. Someone made off with our patio chairs, but at that point I was too relaxed (or maybe too tired from carrying my suitcase across the gravel lot) to care. The best part? The waterfront bar and grill on the property. Great spot to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. All in all, it was a comfortable, budget-friendly stay in a fantastic location right on the water. Just maybe pack a wagon for your luggage... and bring your parking patience.

This place absolutely sucks. Worst motel I've ever stayed at in my life. Why? Let's do this…read more 1. Our room has ants--our dog's food dish was swarming with them! Also had to kill 3 earwigs, 1 centipede and 4+ spiders. Didn't realize "pet friendly" means you can bring your rare bug collection. If you come here, bring a jumbo box of live preying mantises and turn 'em loose. They will be in heaven. 2. Water pressure in the shower is virtually zero. They don't have water pipes, just a 90 year old geezer with a bagel-size prostate weakly trying to tinkle on you. If it rains during your stay, get out there and try to rinse the shampoo out of your hair. Not sure if the old man handles the showers in all rooms, or if there is a team of them. 3. The carpets are stained and disgusting. Only thing missing was a chalk outline of a dead body. Do not recwalk on them barefoot. 4. The Wi-Fi is great--if you're happy with AOL dial-up from 1998. (Good way to prevent warning reviews like this?) 5. I'm not saying the beds are awful, but I am driving straight to my chiropractor. Had more restful nights sleep camping in a rock quarry. 6. The room smells like a really bad fart. (In fairness, that might be my girlfriend's fault.) Nah, I'm not giving this dump the benefit of the doubt. You'd think with the junkyard doors (gaps big enough for bugs to march right in without ducking their heads) the stank would eventually fade. Nope. The bouquet is musty with notes of wet dog, and a hint of decomposition. That reminds me--Beach Harbor Resort (resort!) is pet-friendly! Why wouldn't it be? There's nothing a pack of hounds with dysentery could do that would make this place worse. If the Association of Incontinent Senior Dogs is looking for a venue to hold their annual conference, book now. Just make sure your shots are up to date, especially tetanus. In summary, this dump sucks so hard it pretty much ruined my life. (That's saying something, considering how bad my ex and her parents were.) Think of a haunted house, minus the charm and character. Cannot believe they charged us anything to stay here, much less $200/night. The owners of this hellhole ought to pay for therapy for my girlfriend and our kids.

I have been an International Hotel Group (IHG) member for a number of years, however my wife and I…read moreonly travel a few times a year. When we travel, we love to travel by car, enjoying the more scenic, less traveled, routes. At the end of June we were traveling from Port Huron, Michigan to the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The quicker route was through Chicago, but that route is a bit boring. We decided to travel through the U.P. of Michigan, a more scenic route for sure, and as such we planned to stay the night in Marinette, WI. The Holiday Inn Express in Marinette was our choice to accommodate our stay. Our stay was very enjoyable. The public areas and our room were well kept, clean, and comforting, but this was to be expected as the hotel was just a few years old. However, what really made our stay so enjoyable was the hotel staff. As our room was all that we expected, and we encountered no issues with our stay, we figured our contact would be minimal (Check in, and check out). This was far from what we experienced. As we moved around the hotel grabbing breakfast and bringing our belongings to our car, each and every member of the staff we encountered greeted us positively. "Good Morning", "How was your stay?" "What brings you to Marinette?". Cleaning staff, maintenance personnel, breakfast staff, everyone took a moment to be sure we were seen, and let us know they appreciated that my wife and I chose their hotel for our stay. As we enjoyed our breakfast, Sam, a member of the breakfast staff, took a few moments to speak with us, and made sure we had all that we needed. Sam even made sure we left with 2 extra cinnamon rolls for the road. On the day of our departure, it was expected to be very hot, with heat advisories throughout much of the upper Great Lakes area. We noticed that the hotel staff set out a cooler with ice cold bottles of water. The front desk staff encouraged every guest to grab a bottle or two to be sure they were properly hydrated. But this water was not just for guests, but for hotel staff as well. Each staff member was told to be sure they were getting enough water. The staff was being taken care of, not just the guests. As we packed the last of our items in the car, I asked to speak with the manager on duty. I expressed to her that we truly enjoyed our stay not because of the comfort of our room, or our enjoyment of the breakfast provided, but because of how the staff treated us. The daytime manager became a bit emotional that my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. She said the general management of the hotel had changed recently, that the recent change was resulting in a boost in the morale of the staff. Whatever has changed, the work that is being done in Marinette, WI. should be stand as an example of how an IHG hotel should be managed. I have rarely been seriously disappointed by a stay at an IHG hotel, but this was by far the best stay we have experienced.
