Nice little hotel. The total lack of people contact was a bit eerie. I much prefer interacting with actual people than checking on in a screen and never seeing anyone.

Clean and quiet
This was the cleanest and tidiest lodging we have had in a very long time. The bathroom tiles and grout glistened. It was very quiet and the grounds were well maintained

Nice little motel
We stayed here while traveling about Door County. It was clean and relatively quiet. The check-in process was easy and just as described on the text I received. I loved the actual key instead of a card, made it feel even more quaint.
The bed was not super comfy, but it was good enough for our needs.

Adorable Motel
My family (kids& dogs) stayed one night at this charming old world roadside motel. There is no desk staff on the property but the check in process was very easy, they sent a very informative text message prior to our stay. The rooms have been thoughtfully updated while maintaining that vintage charm. The location is a short drive to downtown Algoma. We went to breakfast at Caffé Tlazo, which I would highly recommend. I would be happy to stay here again.

Hiking the Ice Age Trail and needed a nice, quiet and reasonably priced place to stay. This place was perfect for that.

Issue we had was the limited signage. The room numbers were not sequential. Our room was in a short distance away from the main buildings. Our building was behind and was not visible in the dark. We had to get out of the car and explore the area.

Clean, quiet, welcoming motel - stayed many times in past. Nice accommodations for fishing (able to use docks for fee - but nice to wake up and not trailer boat). One negative is not being able to check in until 3PM in afternoon?

We absolutely loved our stay at The River Hills Motel in Algoma. The room was spotless, and everything felt well cared for. Check-in and check-out were a breeze—super easy and hassle-free. The location is great if you want to be close to Door County without the crowds.
One of the highlights was waking up in the morning and seeing hummingbirds fluttering around the hanging flowers outside—such a simple but beautiful touch that made the place feel extra special. It’s peaceful, charming, and clearly run with pride. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and affordable place to stay.

Algoma's little motel gem.
This was a money value stay. For the money it was a very nice stay. The check-in and check-out, though without human contact, was exceptionally easy. The room was small but well kept. Brought us back to the 60's for a motel stay with the bathroom decor. The bedding was very comfortable and entire facility well kept. Close location to downtown was also nice for morning walks and proximity to all that Algoma has to offer. Yet, it was outside town just a little bit and thus quiet.

Affordable Little Gem
It looks from the outside like an ordinary mom and pop motel, but the room was fantastic and had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had at a motel/hotel. Nice, quiet patio outside in a well-kept greens space. Did have some issues getting my code to get my room key, but did get a hold of someone eventually, but I don’t believe this is a recurrent problem. Wonderful place and highly recommend
