Room was clean and super comfortable. Only negative was a few things missing in the kitchen. Lack of eating utensils and dish clothes and dish towels. Upstairs guests were very noisy from midnight until 1:00 am, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Owner was SUPER accommodating when our room was misrepresented by Expedia posting the wrong pictures. Location was perfect, being right in the middle of Door County. Wouldn’t definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the Wilder Inn was relaxing and pleasant. The building itself was probably built mid-century so it doesn't have a lot of charm. However, there are chairs outside each room and tables and chairs in the courtyard if you want to just relax and the weather is nice. When we arrived the manager greeted us and was there to talk or give us recommendations on the area. The rooms were clean and well stocked. There were additional towels, toilet paper, etc. in the lobby as it was not staffed overnight (although there was a number to call for emergencies). Breakfast was very simple - oatmeal, yogurt, and pastries, as was advertised. There is a sitting area in the lobby you can take advantage of whenever you would like. I understand there are new owners and they may make some changes in the future, but we liked it just as it was!

We just needed a place to sleep and this hotel hit the mark in terms of cleanliness and comfortable beds. Hotel is a bit bare bones and could use some sprucing up but given the price we were satisfied.

Never saw an employee once. I understand it is now considered off season, but even when it was proper business hours, never saw anyone. Bit odd, the beds were terrible, the pillows were like cardboard. But the cleanliness and location were more than ideal. Overall, still a nice place, but bring your own pillow!

Had a wonderful time at Wilder Inn. Some difficulty finding the property because there was no updated signage. The staff support throughout our stay was excellent! I especially appreciated the 24 hour access to necessities. The simple continental breakfast was great for a quick bite while on the go. Will definitely return to this property in the future!
