Kind of on the outskirts of the city, but you couldn’t beat the price for something convenient to Door County. Property is older, but they have embrace that with mid-century modern charm and decorations.

Cute rooms, microwave and dorm fridge. Two burner hot plate. Air conditioning works well, and it was quiet. I have not stayed in many motels and am not certain I like having my door open to the outside, although it is easy to load and unload your vehicle. The covered porch and lawn chairs were nice when it rained. The room needed a few minor repairs.

Super cute room!

Super cute retro room! Nicer than we were expecting. Liked having a little fridge and freezer and the kitchenette was well stocked! Everything was clean, except the interior shower curtain was a bit soiled. The only bad thing were the beds! They were very bouncy, had pits, and just not comfortable. Given that the idea is a place to sleep, I feel this is an upgrade that should be addressed. I would stay again, if I knew the beds would be comfortable. It was a great location for a one night little Door Co get away.

Okay if you’re saving money.

Definitely inexpensive. We liked the retro vibe. Someone was smoking nearby though and everything smells like smoke. It was clean but we didn’t feel comfortable having a turn down every day because of the location. Make sure to run (and continually empty) the dehumidifier or everything will feel muggy and smell musty. Any time I asked for towels or toilet paper (which was once each over six days) it seemed like I was asking a lot of them, so that was weird. Also one of the other tenants stole one of our chairs off the front porch. Fortunately they put it back the next day, but that was really weird that they were allowed to do that. The beds were okay. Kind of worn. Don’t book if you have a bad back. I thought the traffic noise would keep us awake but it wasn’t too bad. The staff were friendly but I don’t think they could help in case of emergencies. No security that I could see. I didn’t feel safe to leave anything too precious in the room during the day. I think someone was in our room one day because it really smelled like smoke one day. Two of the mugs in the cabinet were dirty upon our checkin. Everything else seemed clean. The bathroom was cute. Next time I think we will book something a little more expensive.

Retro cute little roadside motel. Worked for a one night stay while we were trying to avoid the areas average prices of $200-250/night. Nice kitchen space. Dated but pretty clean. Beds were way too hard for us. Otherwise acceptable.

I likeded my stay at Motel 57; and I would stay there again if I am in the area. This motel had everything that I needed and more. It looks like a hotel from the 1950's and it is not plush on the inside, so if you are looking for modern furnishings you might be disappointed, but it is functionally complete with everything that you need for a stay.

Won't stay there again. Room wasn't ready on time and a key was missing. Then was it supposedly was, room stunk musty and strong smell of cleaning agent; enough to make you sick. Floors weren't swept or vacuumed, sheets appeared dirty and hair on sheets between blanket. Was a kitchenette but no forks and some of the dishes were dirty.
