great location on riverfront, comfy beds, property clean. good value for $
Pros:

Love the remodeled lobby and new lobby bar, that was added since our last stay.
Had assistance from Delilah on checkin and throughout our stay and she was professional and helpful and personable!

Cons:

Could use a few more items for breakfast, love the hardboiled eggs, but only 1-2 yogurts when we came in to eat.

You can find something better
Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

The room was extremely small. To use the bathroom, you had to step past the toilet or into the tub to shut the door.
The door to the room didn't seal properly. Light, and sound, poured into the room all night. They have a bar a few feet away in the lobby and it sounded like it was inside our room until close to midnight.
When the upstairs guest walked in his room, the floor creaked so loudly that we thought he might fall into our room. It was a very uncomfortable night at a very high price.

Great location and service
Pros:

Harbor view doesn't necessarily have the best views, but it is right on the river and close to the downtown commercial district and right on the river boardwalk. I found it to be a great value and convenient to restaurants and shops. The service was tremendous, and I highly recommend staying here.

Find somewhere else
Pros:

I am perplexed by all the gleaming reviews. Yes, the location is great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The newly renovated lobby is lovely. But the rooms are unsatisfactory. We had a lovely(!) view of the parking lot to start. The room had one queen and was too small to have a nightstand on both sides. The little chaise lounge was too uncomfortable to sit on while watching TV. The pillows were awful. There was very little space to put anything by the sink. It was very low and uncomfortable to use. The toilet/shower compartment was tiny. The furniture was of your grandmother’s generation. But the worst part - the noise! Yes, lots of noise from the street. But also, late at night (11ish?) you could here utensils clacking, apparently cleaning up at the bar. We were on the first floor - the floorboards above creaked a lot from people walking, and the footsteps permeated our room. when they got up at 6AM. The included breakfast was sparse. Find somewhere else.

Harbor Winds is an affordable, non-chain hotel on the water in Sheboygan. So glad we stayed there.
Pros:

I was told by a family member that the breakfast was nothing special.
The location is beautiful!
I also loved the small size of Harbor Winds.

Cons:

Apparently, the breakfast although I didn’t try it. I only heard it wasn’t anything great.

Go elsewhere
Pros:

Hitting me for $50 cancellation fee . Canceled on July 15 for August 7-9 reservation. Website says no cancelation fee. Hotel attendant on phone says 14 days which is more than 14 day notice 🤔. I'll fight credit card charge. Stayed at hotel 2 other times for Sheboygan boat races..its not clean, beds and pillows are uncomfortable, loud road in front, no elevator, tight parking and inflated cost for the accommodations.

Pros:

It was very clean.

Cons:

The room was a bit smaller than expected. The continental breakfast was more limited than other hotels at which we have stayed. When it says "breakfast included", I wasn't expecting to need to go out to get breakfast.

Cute place, great location!
Pros:

Great location, we were able to walk to dinner which was great! Staff was awesome, especially Kayden, who was working the front desk and bar when we arrived! The lobby and bar area was really nice, as was the public restroom just off of there. Great shower pressure!

Cons:

The beds were small but comfortable. There wasn't enough places to plug things in...especially phone charging areas. As with most hotels, the AC running on and off didn't help with sleep much.
