Totally fine place to stay in Door County. It's not a place I would rave about but I also wouldn't rule out staying there again.
Pros:
- The room was super clean
- Nice, new-ish furniture and fixtures
- Wifi and cable worked great
- It's a really pleasant walk to the shops and restaurants
- Easy checkout on a tablet in your room
Cons:
- The layout of the rooms has them all facing a very small courtyard. With the motel being dog-friendly, this pretty much guarantees that another guest will be standing a few feet outside your window at all times and your "view" is a dog taking a dump.

Julie's is a big draw in Fish Creek. Breakfast had a wait. Julie's has a great system for quickly moving customers to tables. Decor is cute, clean. Staff was great. Breakfast was fantastic. Coffee likewise. Wait was worth it.

Yummy food, decent pricing and value for money spent. Good staff and no wait time even when only breakfast place open in off season... busy but still able to accommodate. Would consider going again for breakfast for sure... I did not have lunch but sure it would be good as well.

Busy but didn't have to wait for seat. Food arrived quicker than expected due to them being so busy. Food was fabulous. Plenty and delicious! Pruce about normal for a tourist place. Not cheap but not overly priced either. Very nice sized coffee cups! Will visit again when in door county!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟All the servers were in costume today for Halloween. It was lovely. My server was in a flannel nightgown and plastic shower cap and told me to call her “Granny” if I needed anything, 😂😂😂 The service was… excellent and the food delicious. I had the made from scratch hot chocolate, 2 egg spinach scramble and an order of Door County cherry crepes. Yummy! What a great place to eat.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
