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 .

Great location-lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Nice flowers and clean and updated rooms. Our room was by the street (14) and it was noisy because our windows were open and we like fresh air when we can; you may want to run air conditioning which we did the last night and it helped. As far as staff goes, there is hardly anyone there. Office hours are 2-7pm., but the one day we were actually there during office hours, the door was open, but we did not see anyone. We did see a staff member when we checked in but just barely because we got there right at 7 pm. She was very nice.

The floor in our room was filthy! We had to wear shoes the whole time. The room was small but cute. They need to update the bathroom, very old shower and terrible shower head. It’s a great location and that’s why their rate is high.

Overall this property was perfect for walking around Sister Bay. Located just as you entered down town. Perfect balcony sitting area for 2, and could hear the music if you chose to stay in. Only negative is the air conditioner was extremely loud. Turned it off and opened a window at night to sleep.

Downtown Inn..you are def downtown!

I'll start this as we are an active retired early 60's couple who booked this room day we checked in. As the name implies you are right downtown Sister Bay! We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in SB including the beach area and Peaches brewery. The room is exactly that..you get a room. There is no closet or storage area. Coffee pot in the room! Also a small refrigerator. Bathroom is small but has a great shower head and plenty of hot water! Parking is free.Rooms are noisy since right on road but we sleep with a sound machine so not an issue for us. Check in was easy. Of note, front desk only staffed from 2pm-7pm. We would stay here again since all we need is a clean place to put our head at night and to shower!
