    The rug in the room was rather worm. I like a larger bathroom with the sink in the bathroom and not in the hall, but all in all our stay was just fine.

    The continental breakfast was fine. The location - Perfect!

    No elevator to 2nd floor. Didn't get the side of the hotel with the view of the Sheboygan River (big disappointment). The motel lobby and dining area was under renovation, so the "breakfast" was served at the front desk. Full disclosure: The hotel prides itself in its "family-owned, no big chain" heritage; and for it downtown location right on the Sheboygan River. Well, the renovation, no elevator, and room without a view of the river turned the promise of a delightful place into just-another-meh-hotel.

    Room was clean and nicely appointed. The A/C was wall-controlled (thermostat) and worked well. The price was nice (under $100).

    We were disappointed that there was no elevator, especially since our ages range from 70-83 and some knees just don’t work the way they used to. We also noticed that several areas needed dusting, including the table the fridge sits on in the breakfast room. If this is due to construction dust, it may need more than the usual amount of attention.

    We very much enjoyed our stay except for the issue listed below. The young ladies at the desk when we arrived and again when we checked out were very helpful, even helping carry bags upstairs. The breakfast was good though I don’t think I would choose a sugar infused waffle again.

    Not clean in some areas, our tub was very dirty. Things a little outdated. We felt the price was a little high as well. Queen bedrooms should face the water as well, disappointed we were parking lot side.

    Staff was amazing. Continental breakfast was very nice and the games were a nice touch.

    There are a couple of areas, availability of replacement towels without a series of suspicious questions regarding whether or not my wife or I already received new sets of towels and when. The other area is the lack of a quality breakfast. Your listing on Booking.com boasts “Breakfast Included“, but what was put out barely qualifies as breakfast. If you want to meet or exceed guest expectations, you need to focus on the variety of breakfast offerings and the quality of them. In response to many reviews you’ve been saying since June that you’ll be making changes to the breakfast offerings. Some responses from you even said these changes would be instituted in September. My wife and I didn’t see these changes. Every day the same Banana nut muffins were put out. There were small amounts of yogurt and other breakfast-type foods put out. Plus the lack of 24-hour coffee and hot water available was a big negative. Most of the time, the staff was observed in the office not appearing to be doing much of anything. Coffee costs pennies to offer to your guests, but it goes a long way as a value-added feature. A hot breakfast with offerings like pancakes, eggs, breakfast meats and a waffle machine will also go a long way with guests, adding even more value to their stay. A lot of things like housekeeping, towels, food and staff friendliness will go a long way to make the rates you charge much more worth it.

    The location, the quiet location, the comfortable bed and great sleep my wife and I got.

    Rug had just been cleaned with a product that smelled very strongly, and I was apparently allergic to it. Once windows were opened, aired out well. Breakfast was continental and fairly minimal.

    Location on the river is great—nice walking paths along the river; room was spacious.
