Downtown Inn..you are def downtown!

I'll start this as we are an active retired early 60's couple who booked this room day we checked in. As the name implies you are right downtown Sister Bay! We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in SB including the beach area and Peaches brewery. The room is exactly that..you get a room. There is no closet or storage area. Coffee pot in the room! Also a small refrigerator. Bathroom is small but has a great shower head and plenty of hot water! Parking is free.Rooms are noisy since right on road but we sleep with a sound machine so not an issue for us. Check in was easy. Of note, front desk only staffed from 2pm-7pm. We would stay here again since all we need is a clean place to put our head at night and to shower!

Within walking distance to several shops, bars, and restaurants. Pretty view of the downtown strip. Older hotel, room was clean and well cared for, on the small side, but we were only there to sleep and shower. Would stay there again!

I have stayed at the Downtown Inn before and have always loved it. They just remodeled all of their rooms and they are gorgeous. Loud that it is a small property with lots of landscaping and porches/desks to sit on.

Perfect spot to be staying right in Sister Bay. There will be sounds of traffic if you keep windows open, but it didn't bother us as much. We had to stay an extra day last minute, and they let us stay which was lifesaving in ways i cannot describe on here. So again for that alone, THANK YOU. Good food, good vibes just for walking around. Grasse had a delish fishbowl for light eats, and the bar outside of Husby's was a fun chill hangout spot. Stopped at Al Johnsons beer garden first night we got there after 8pm so out and about was limited. Bartender was super chill. We also walked a lil' bit to play minigolf at two places kinda next to eachother. Then hit up Fat Belly's for sushi and some crazy fries with fried pork belly. We WILL go back again to try their ramen. Also loved taking a small drive to Ephraim and tried Anatolias and Prince of Pierogis. Very quaint places, but good eats and good prices with outdoor sitting available. This is our 2nd trip to DoCo and Sister Bay was lovely.

Location is handy being right across from a place with food drinks and music. We could walk places and leave car at motel. Rooms are tiny, but clean and beds were comfortable. It was nice having a little deck in front with a view of the bay/lake. Grounds were clean and well kept. We've stayed here before and will stay again. Super convenient location and staff is friendly .
