Pros:

Didn't know there was a breakfast

Cons:

The floor in the upper room was VERY squeaky. At 11pm-12am, 3am, 5-8am. Needless to say sleep was not good.

I really wanted to like it but I just can't tolerate the odor. Sorry!
Pros:

I didn't know breakfast was available. The staff was really nice and the place was very clean.

Cons:

The reason I won't stay there again is due to the smell of the facility. It smelled really old and had a stale, musty scent I just could hardly stand, especially in the check in area.

Fantastic Weekend in Sturgeon Bay!
Pros:

It’s quirky, clean, conveniently located and inclusive. We loved the retro decor. We were impressed by the way the hotel website advertises the Steel Bridge Creative Foundation and the musical history of the hotel. We even had housekeeping on our stayover day! Real glasses! Real coffee cups!

Cons:

There’s nothing we didn’t like.

Pros:

Loved the firepit where we met some nice people and had good conversation. Also loved the attention to detail. It must have taken years to curate all the 1950's decor. What a treat to experience this hotel!
