Cute, quirky and clean! I didn't think quality family owned motels existed anymore, then we found The Holiday Music Motel. So many little details kept this retro decorated place comfortable and up to date for this century. (like motion detector for the bathroom light for us night risers}. As seniors, we don't usually book a hotel that has a shower over tub combo, but the tub threshold was low enough, the grab bars were in the right place and the tub bottom had a surface that was non slip. We had old fashioned keys on hotel key rings and that was a fun bit of nostalgia. Plenty of outlets for charging devices. Larger closet than is seen in modern hotels. Tons of artwork done by local artists. Very convenient location.

The Holiday Music Hotel was centrally located in Sturgeon Bay, WI. I could walk almost anywhere I wanted to go to eat, shop, take a stroll along the embankment. I loved the 1952 retro vibe, and my room was very comfortable. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. When I got a splinter that I couldn't get out, the women at the front desk gave me clear directions to urgent care so I could get it taken care of. I'd come back in a heartbeat and enjoy more of what the area has to offer.

I can't think of anything that could be made better. I was satisfied and pleased on every level and it really was that good. And I can't make up things to change.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We love the staff, the motel, the room, the vibe, the property, the comfort, the cleanness, the area, and the neighborhood... not one complaint! We felt instantly welcomed. We hung out in town for a day with heaps to do right outside the motels doors. We also spent a day driving, shopping, and eating as far north as Sister Bay (about 40 mins), stopping many beautiful places along the way. The location allowed us to really see and enjoy all areas of Door County Peninsula. At night, when returning to the Motel, we felt like we were coming home. We.slept so soundly and peacefully. Enjoy and embrace your stay at Holiday Music Motel!! We'll be back!

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like!

Very retro Highway 66 like motel, it felt like a step back in time! Very clean facility and comfortable bed. The staff was very nice and accommodating. My wife had foot surgery and when we booked this room a year ago we didn't know that. I contacted the motel and even though they were booked full they were able to move us from the second floor to the first floor. (There are no elevators) Parking is right out the door.

A breakfast would have been nice, it is almost expected now days however this is a retro motel. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side however very clean and well kept.

The decorations and the attention to detail to make everything look like a 1950s motel but it was immaculate and everything seemed new. Beds were very comfortable and multiple pillows provided. Bathroom had no signs of mold and mildew even though it was 1950s tile. The “diner” area was a nice added touch with coffee and tea and a place to eat if you wanted to bring carry out in.

Nothing.

Staff was very friendly. I loved that the room came with a binder full of local suggestions and a room-by-room listing of songs that have been composed in the hotel. Super comfy retro spaces. Easy parking. Central, walkable location. Firepit available. I appreciated the personal touch of all the little notes in different places around the room to let us know the best outlets to use for the fridge... how the drapery pulls work... etc.

The air inside felt a little damp, but we also had some rainy days. No real complaints.

Absolutely loved the real, vintage authenticity of the place. All original furniture (not beds!) and fixtures in the rooms. And everything was spotless and fully functional. Owner lives on site and is super friendly and gracious.

Nothing really. You have to take it for what it is. If you want a pool, breakfast and big suites, there are other places. If you want to step in a time capsule, but still be comfortable and have an amazingly friendly staff who truly appreciates you being there, then this is the place.

The Holiday Music Hotel is one of a kind and fantastic. The vintage, mid-century vibe was like nowhere I’ve ever stayed, and with all modern amenities included. I love that I was able to bring my dog, too. The owner was helpful and welcoming and lives on premises to help out with anything at any hour. The location was perfect— in sight of the historic steel bridge and the water and one block from all the restaurants and shops of Third St. I plan to stay here any time I return to Door County.

Everything was great.

Such a delightful place to stay in a great Sturgeon Bay location. We loved all the mid-century furnishings, bright colors and the music vibe. Very clean - my first thought on getting into bed was how fresh and clean the linens felt. Cute little room off the lobby with tea and hot chocolate to enjoy at a counter or take up to the room. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very clean 50s style motel in a fantastic location. Within walking distance to shops and eateries and local museums. Bridge into Sturgeon Bay right across the street. Could walk across bridge to harbor, maritime museum and local attractions. Motel has a fair amount of 50s memorabilia inside the small lobby area and the rooms. Motel has a nice vibe.

They have a breakfast area downstairs but because of Covid they couldn't provide anything to eat. You could use the area for your own food and they supplied silverware, plates and cups for tea. They didn't have a coffee maker in the area but an appliance for heating water for tea. Just a minor inconvenience and nothing to suggest you shouldn't stay here. Staff is very helpful. Nicest I've come across in a while.
