Motel 57 is a cute, retro motel. Very easy access, and close to all the activities in Door County. It was a comfortable, basic place to stay in the area, and the staff was helpful and personable.

This cute, retro gem of a motel transported me back to my childhood, replete with matching chairs in front of the room door. The room was brightly colored with comfortable beds, reasonably sized bathroom, kitchenette stocked with necessities, and even a pullout counter with stools. Truly an excellent value in an expensive tourist destination.

People bag on this hotel but it's a gem; I stay here everytime I come through. Your fellow guests may be a bit character-ish, but they're harmless. Rooms have great amenities if a bit dated, but the bathrooms especially are modern and lovely. Awesome throwback vibe. Love it here

Our stay was nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Kitchenette was well stocked with everything necessary. Appreciated that it was quiet. We could not hear the other people on either side of us. Only issue we had was with the TV. Two remotes with no instructions. We struggled with getting the TV to work. Had to go to the office and ask.

**Great, quiet place to stay!** I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. But once I found out Motel 57 is owned by Jon and Patti, who also own Snug Harbor and Waterfront Mary’s, I knew we were in good hands—and they did not disappoint! Our room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. The location was perfect, with pretty much everything you could possibly need close by. It was also surprisingly quiet, which was wonderful after spending our days at the beach and the Door County Fair. It was just the kind of place we needed to come back to at the end of a long, busy day. There were only two issues during our stay. The refrigerator/freezer combo froze some of our items because the freezer-door portion was broken, and the window locks were broken. Neither issue ruined our stay, but they are definitely things that should be addressed. Overall, we had a really good experience. Motel 57 is a clean, quiet, convenient place to stay if you're looking for somewhere comfortable to call it a night after being out and about exploring Sturgeon Bay and Door County. **We would absolutely stay here again!**

Amery quaint retro motel. Had a room with a kitchen. All the supplies needed were provided. There was a full fridge, stove with oven, dishes, pots and pans, toaster, coffee pot, etc. Beds were very comfortable. Nice to park right in front of my door. Pet friendly. I'd stay again. Only thing I could think that's needed is a small shelf in the bathroom for personal items and a grab bar in the shower.

Very good room for two people. I'll admit I was a bit intimidated when I saw rooms were only equipped with full-sized beds. My wife and I were surprised about the comfort and (I didn't have a tape measure to confirm this) I believe the bed was basically the length of a queen and possibly 3 or 4 inches narrower - so, to us, the bed was completely fine. The room was otherwise very comfortable. The only thing that was needed was any counter space in the bathroom (due to only having a pedestal sink). Other than that, the bathroom was spacious and comfortable with cool retro colors.
