A hidden gem for sure.
It was a very relaxing stay. Clean, updated quiet rooms. A clean refreshing swimming pool helped in cooling off after a hot day.

Great little spot in a great location
Great little Motel situated on the North side of Ephraim, just a few minutes away from Sister Bay. Clean. Economical. Easy check-in and checkout. Nice breakfast with both hot and cold options and shady spots to eat around the pool. Small business with easy parking. If you're looking for a nice but less expensive place to stay, this motel is a great option.

Quaint and comfy
Quaint and comfortable. The only suggestion would be to invest in some silverware, inexpensive dishes, and a dishwasher—I felt bad using plastic utensils and paper plates for breakfast. The to-go cups are nice, but maybe using some motel mugs would be nice and eco-friendly.

Quai
Very quaint, clean motel close to recreational areas and good restaurants. Breakfast was good. The sausages were better quality than most hotel chains and they had cherries available for the waffles. Walls are pretty thin, so we could hear every door slam. I’m sure the neighbors could hear us making noises, too. Only gripe - and it’s a minor one - the front desk clerk told us to take off our Do Not Disturb sign if we wanted our room cleaned. We did but didn’t get the service. Not a big deal. We were there only two nights. Overall, a great experience. Would recommend.

Great Motel!
This was such a great place to stay, will stay again and have told my family to stay here when they want to stay in door co without camping. The room was clean and the bed was cozy. The check-in people were friendly and helpful. Pool are looked nice but didn’t use because it was cold and rainy. This motel is a good central location in door co.
Thank you!
