I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right near the entrance to Peninsula State Park and within a short walk to dining and shopping in town. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with excellent amenities. The only downside was some noise from the second-floor walkway. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely return!

I had a lovely stay at Countryside Cottages during my impromptu trip to Door County. The room was clean and cozy, perfect for me and my two Shelties who were welcomed with open arms. While the bathroom was quite tiny, it wasn't a major issue. I enjoyed the relaxing courtyard outside, although I do wish the room was a bit more spacious. Overall, it was a great value for money, especially being pet-friendly!

We had an amazing time at the motel! It was incredibly clean and quiet, which made our stay very relaxing. The king-size room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Plus, being right next to the Peninsula State Park made our biking adventures so easy. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, but the only downside was that it could be a little more varied. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Our stay at Julie's was a bit of a mixed bag. The pet-friendly vibe was a huge plus for us, especially with our dog, and the room was quite spacious and clean. However, the amenities were a bit lacking and the nearby restaurant options were limited. While we enjoyed the closeness to the state park, the feeling of the place being a little run-down took away from our overall experience.

The king room we stayed in was spacious and very clean, with a nice bed. It felt a bit bare bones, lacking sufficient drawer space, but the pet amenities were a great touch.
Service

The staff was generally friendly, and they understood our needs as pet owners, which was refreshing. However, we felt that they should have approached us before involving the police over a parking misunderstanding.

While the motel had potential, some facilities seemed outdated and poorly maintained, such as the peeling paint and cleanliness issues we encountered.
