No microwave in the room. Remodelled room could use a ceiling fan to help with humidity.
I have stayed at the Downtown Inn before and have always loved it. They just remodeled all of their rooms and they are gorgeous. Loud that it is a small property with lots of landscaping and porches/desks to sit on.
Perfect spot to be staying right in Sister Bay. There will be sounds of traffic if you keep windows open, but it didn't bother us as much. We had to stay an extra day last minute, and they let us stay which was lifesaving in ways i cannot describe on here. So again for that alone, THANK YOU.
Good food, good vibes just for walking around. Grasse had a delish fishbowl for light eats, and the bar outside of Husby's was a fun chill hangout spot. Stopped at Al Johnsons beer garden first night we got there after 8pm so out and about was limited. Bartender was super chill. We also walked a lil' bit to play minigolf at two places kinda next to eachother. Then hit up Fat Belly's for sushi and some crazy fries with fried pork belly. We WILL go back again to try their ramen. Also loved taking a small drive to Ephraim and tried Anatolias and Prince of Pierogis. Very quaint places, but good eats and good prices with outdoor sitting available. This is our 2nd trip to DoCo and Sister Bay was lovely.
Location is handy being right across from a place with food drinks and music. We could walk places and leave car at motel. Rooms are tiny, but clean and beds were comfortable. It was nice having a little deck in front with a view of the bay/lake. Grounds were clean and well kept. We've stayed here before and will stay again. Super convenient location and staff is friendly .
DownTown Inn is a nice little spot to stay if you want to be closer to Sister Bay activities. Only complaint we had was that the carpet was very, very dirty. Turned the bottom of our socks black! Owners did offer us a different room, but we were only there for 2 nights and hardly ever in the room except to sleep. Didn't feel like moving all our stuff for one more night. Just made sure we always had shoes on when walking around the room. Bed was comfortable with enough blankets and pillows. Hotel grounds well kept, and looked nice. Price was a little steep for a motel... but we live in expensive times, sadly. I would stay there again, and would recommend it to friends and family. But PLEASE PLEASE get those carpets cleaned before next season!
This was the perfect place to stay for a little getaway. It was centrally located in Door County, walkable to everything in Sister Bay, and the view was beautiful. Very affordable, clean, and we would definitely stay here again!
