I booked because they had a pool. Not operating. The room smelled so bad! Air unit filter? Mold?. I paid $170. a night. Owch! The restaurant menu looked great but was closed both days I was there. Only option was an outdoor Mexican menu, awful food. Expensive too. Though the water & dock are across the street they wouldn't let me fish there. Could barely fit in the shower & im 140lb. Good part? Beds were comfy. I wouldn't complain if the cost was under $80. I won't be back

Overall it was ok. The major problem for me was that all Common areas. Lunch Room. Hallways. Lobby etc was 80 degrees. This Place was a Wonderful Property in its day I’m sure ! Just needs a little more Loving Care right now. At 6 am you could not get around this place. You had to get in your car to go to Starbucks just to get coffee and sit. Its Summertime. People were Wondering around the place wondering were to hang out and have coffee ??? I’m not saying our Experience was bad. But they kinda need a Wake up call ?

The Lodge is a sprawling property that I'm sure used to be top notch but it's showing it's age and then some. The pull out mattress looked and felt original to the hotel. The decor is very outdated. With such massive rooms there are some great opportunities for upgrades. The breakfast was standard breakfast included fare and the omlet station was great. plenty of parking and easy on and off of the highway. We were visiting door county and it was an easy drive to all of the main locations.

Over priced & the pictures fool you. You think you’re getting a nice room, but it was awful. Dirty, dated, bugs, gross. At 8:00pm at night when checking in, I was willing to end my vacation one day early and drive 5 hours home & lose out on $400 “non refundable” then stay there. Called Expedia when I was there & explained the situation but they were unwilling to give me a refund.. which is pretty sad because I’m a big customer for them & never had a problem and book all the time with Expedia. Also please note I’m not some person that complains, this is the first time I’ve ever given a review, let alone a bad one. Just beware of this place & booking through Expedia is the chance you take. And note that Expedia will NOT help you out if you run into a situation like we did.

The place is just really outdated. Our room has a smell that we could not make out. But it served the purpose. We were gone most of the day and returned to retire for the evening.

The complimentary breakfast was nice. Nothing to write home about but we appreciate it. My friend made a comment about the yogurt just sitting in a big bowl. Should have been packed in a small container, on a bed of ice.

We liked the tiki bar. So nice just sitting there watching the dock and the bridge. A relaxing feel.

This is an older property that was originally a lodge surrounded by a golf course. The golf property must have been sold off in the past, so the lodge remains. The front desk staff was personable and helpful. The room was HUGE. All the furnishings were vintage (and not in the good way). The bathroom was very dimly lit, but functional. The breakfast had make-to-order eggs and all of the other usual offerings. The AC was very quiet and the plumbing also quiet. They lock the lobby at night so late check-in might not be an options. If you are the type that likes everything contemporary, this is not the place for you. If you want a comfortable and very functional stay, consider this lodge. See Cave Point Park while you are there!

The staff were great but the accommodations were pretty terrible. The halls smelled heavy of cigarettes and the room had a strong musty smell. The heater in the room was not adjustable. When the temp got to 80 we had to crack open the patio door to cool off the room. The tv ran on WiFi but was not strong enough to watch a show. I don’t think we will stay again.

Property is definitely in need of dire update; especially for the $300/night l. General feel is stale and worn.
We were moved to a new room after discovering tub was completely rusty and appeared stained.
To the credit of management, we were given a free night and suite upgrade.
Although clearly expensive to undertake, we believe there was much potential given the location and big crowds in the area.

there were small insects in the room. Cobwebs and other indicators including dust indicating that the cleaning process was not good .
The refrigerator was frosted over and inoperable. I complained to the front desk and they did send a maintenance person who replaced the refrigerator, but we were inconvenienced and had to wait while he came to take the refrigerator. We were also inconvenienced because we had to wait until he picked it up the next day. Just a bad experience.

Horrible smells upon arrival and wouldn’t refund us even when we said we didn’t mind paying the first day, but wanted a refund for next two. The drive into the hotel was a concrete driveway that was all torn up and I thought would damage my car if I drove it multiple times. The sign to the property was slashed and upon entering the hotel it wasn’t maintained nicely. Visible mold in lobby bathroom. Awful smells in lobby. Drip down the outside the front of the hotel. We said we would pay for that day but wanted our money back for the other days. We didn’t feel safe staying there. Both the hotel owners and Expedia gave us the run around and wouldn’t refund.

Did not like all the pot holes around the property. They should fix that. Also we were charge a large resort fee and the pool was not working. If you are going to charge a resort fee, everything MUST work in order to receive that.

The room and interior are very dated and in need of repair. Ours had holes in the walls a very old bathtub that did not appear clean. The upside was the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is lovely and it is a shame the interior is in rough shape.

Extremely overpriced. It’s like staying at an EconoLodge, or Motel 6. Shower door was messed up. Hallways smell old and stale. TV remote hardly worked. Water stains on wood surfaces. Cheap furniture.
Outside was dirty. Gutters have staining. Trim is in rough shape. Parking lot was rough and full of rocks and gravel, on the blacktop.
Wish I hadn’t paid $500 per night.

THE ENTIRE PROPERTY NEEDS AN UPDATE. DECOR AND FIXTURES ARE OUTDATED.
OUR ROOM HAD A FUNKY SMELL. THE BEDS AND TOILET WERE CLEAN, HOWEVER THERE WERE BUGS IN THE SHOWER AND THE BATHROOM VENT WAS SO CLOGGED WITH DUST/GUNK THAT IT BARELY WORKED.

We didn’t stay the night we left at 8pm. My daughter and I did not feel safe. There were a group of men staying on the floor above us and they were hanging out smoking pot on their balcony. When we came back from a walk they made us uncomfortable so we left. Also chose this hotel because of the outdoor pool. The pool is not even filled with water. It was an overall very disappointing experience.

The service at the restaurant was terrible. We waited 20 min for someone to even take our drink order. It was painfully obvious that there were local regulars in the restaurant and tbe staff blatantly prioritized them over other guests. It took an hour from the time we sat down until our food finally came out and it was not up to expectations. They listed fresh fish on their menue and it was clearly processed frozen fish. For breakfast they did serve a made fresh omelet however there was only one cheif for the enitre service. We waited in line for 40 min before we could ordrer. It was very good but the wait was ridiculous! The room we had was dingy and smelled of mildew. The carpet was filthy and stained. The bathroom was terrible, the tub was dirty and the kleenex box mounted on the wall was metal and covered in rust. We were on the first floor, each roon had a small patio however the curtains they had provided gave little to no privacy. At night with the lights on in the room, you could practically see through them. For the pice they charge for a nights stay it was horrible! We would not recommend!!

Great stay, kind staff, good value

We really enjoyed our stay. Very dated, bare-bones lodging but the staff was friendly. Free breakfast included a made-to-order omelette station. The restaurant was lively on Friday and the food was fresh and cocktails nicely made. It was an older, chill crowd overall that was staying there during our visit.

Location-Yes! Condition-No!

The location of this hotel is great…very close to downtown. But there is no water views except from the front steps. Also, the hotel and rooms need a buff job. The beds were just ok, the walls were very thin so could hear conversations next door and footsteps upstairs, the bathroom was crummy as the tub is worn and needs replacing and there was hair in the tub when we arrived, and the lighting is horrible as not enough lamps so very dark. Overall, it needs updating and a good cleaning.

The Lodge is AMAZING

This place is simply amazing. It's as old school as it's gonna get. No it's not the Ritz Carlton. It's a classic. Other reviews complained about cleanliness. Our room was immaculately clean.

Staff was awesome, Willie and Shelly at the bar, fantastic. This place is a winner. A definite do again!!

The grounds are so pretty, along with the tiki bar, and restaurant patios. We ate on site both nights, and the food was really good. The rooms had all the comforts of home, and comfy beds. There is even a comfy game area where we could play cards. Love it here!

Everything inside the lodge was fantastic. The deluxe room we had was very nice and clean. The restaurant and the tiki bar were great, all food options were beyond our expectations. Breakfast, coffee and creamer options were very good. Only complaint we have is the pool was COLD. it was 80* and the water was an uncomforable icy cold. A heated pool would've been great. Otherwise, we'll be back in the future.

We stayed for 1 night, and our double queen room was very clean and had an air conditioner. Though not technically \"updated,\" everything was in really good shape (save for one of the queen mattresses that had a slope to it).

Everyone was friendly, and though we didn't get the chance to eat at the restaurant on site, the food smelled good! We did have the included breakfast, and it was a pretty decent continental, including someone making eggs/omelets.

Parking was a little tight, but there is definitely enough space to park on gravel or grass if not enough actual parking spaces. That being said, you will need a car to get to downtown Sturgeon Bay.

I would definitely recommend this place!

This property is a historic gem in the area. The staff was top notch professional and very accommodating while this may have been the absolute cleanest overnight lodging I have ever had. The room we had was clearly updated and it appears they worked hard to maintain the original charm of the property.

The first area of concern for us was the bathroom. Again, cleanliness was not an issue at all, however the tub was very old, stained porcelain and the non-slip strips were nothing more than strips of color with all the non slip properties completely gone. This left the tub a challenge for us to use with our orthopedic issues, okay, it felt unsafe. The toilet was crammed between the tub and vanity and the toilet paper was mounted in the side of the vanity making it a challenge to get to.

The other are of concern is we were directed park around the back of the property to be closer to our room. The parking area is all chewed up, not clearly marked making it hard to tell if it is the actual place to park and no parking lines. The other issue is there was one handicapped parking place leaving us a distance to maneuver on the uneven and chopped parking surface as we made our way to the door.

We would stay again if there were AODA style bathrooms on the first floor, which we did not specifically request, merely requesting the first floor because of our orthopedic issues and the fact that there is not an elevator.

The Lodge was just as we imagined it to be. Our room was nice and cozy. It felt like our very own apartment. The fireplace was a great feature. We went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner and the broasted chicken was delicious. Everyone was so nice. Especially MaryAnn and Willie who showed my son so much love. We were in town for a Rubiks Cube Competition and they had the whole restaurant rooting for him. We would love to go back in the summer.

Although the property is listed as “pet friendly” on Expedia, I was charged an extra $250 fee for traveling with my well-behaved, clean, and quiet dog. The receptionist informed me they only have 4 pet friendly rooms on the whole property and apparently I wasn’t staying in one of them. Seems like that would have been helpful information during check-in instead of check-out. I would have taken my business elsewhere had I known of the fee beforehand.

The Lodge has a great family appeal with a nice view of the water across the street. It was exactly the close location we were looking for to go explore Door County during our visit to WI. Upon arrival we received a free appetizer of our choice in the bar, very yummy and every morning they had an omelette station, a nice upgrade to the traditional complimentary continental breakfast. Overall a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend!
