The hype

Rezervoni këtë nëse You want the absolute best location in Sheboygan—right on the river boardwalk—without paying resort prices.
Pse Njerëzit E Duan
- Unbeatable riverfront location walking distance to everything
- Newly renovated 'The Lounge' with river views and craft cocktails
- Free parking and reliable Wi-Fi included in the budget rate
Shikim i shpejtë: A glorified motel with a boutique facelift that trades soundproofing and elevators for killer views and a prime address.
Rishikuar nga @travelswithbrandy: I stayed here for a solo weekend and honestly, the peace and quiet was unmatched. My room was cozy, the coffee bar was a nice touch, and just sitting by the river watching the boats go by was exactly the 'soft life' reset I needed.
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
Reality check
The 'river view' is stunning, but the 'street view' rooms look directly at a parking lot and get significant road noise.
- You plan to spend your entire day exploring the boardwalk and beach
- You are a solo traveler or couple on a budget
- You appreciate a good hotel bar more than a hotel pool
Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service; recent reviews praise the staff's attention to detail.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, though some older reviews mention mildew smell in the small bathrooms.
- Maintenance: The building is older (1999), so expect some worn carpets and scuffed furniture despite updates.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade; clean but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Usually fresh, but 'musty' or 'damp' smells can occur in first-floor rooms due to river proximity.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura
Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni

Yes, a free continental breakfast is served daily, but expect basics like toast, bagels, and fruit rather than eggs and bacon.

Free on-site parking is available, limited to one car per room. No boats or trailers allowed.
Can I bring my dog?
No, the hotel has a strict no-pet policy unless it is a registered ADA service animal.

Këshilla Ekskluzive
- ✨
The 'Lounge' is actually a hidden gem for a nightcap—better cocktails than you'd expect for a 2-star hotel.
- ✨
You can walk to the Blue Harbor Resort (5 mins) to use their spa or restaurants without paying their room rates.
- ✨
Coffee in the lobby is available 24/7, which is a lifesaver if you're up early for fishing.
