Within walking distance to several shops, bars, and restaurants. Pretty view of the downtown strip. Older hotel, room was clean and well cared for, on the small side, but we were only there to sleep and shower. Would stay there again!

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.

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.

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 right in the middle of everything you'd like to do in Sister Bay - restaurants, the bay, tourist attractions, and an easy drive to Peninsula State Park, a premier birding destination on Door County. Clean, spacious and convenient with a very helpful staff.

Had a late night noisy bar across the street with some loud music and very loud customers. I would still highly recommend this property because of the cleanliness and location. I would definitely stay again.
