This was our first visit to The Port Hotel and it certainly won't be the last! From the easy "no check-in desk" check-in through a very complete continental breakfast, this hotel is a true gem. Speaking of the "continental breakfast, the selections available rivaled or excelled many other hotel chains touting their "full" breakfast. The room was very clean and spacious. Bed linens were great and the bed itself was very comfortable. This property definitely deserves the "Best Hotel in Port...

The owner and staff at The Stagecoach Inn go above and beyond! This is a truly special place. We booked 6 rooms for my partner’s birthday celebration. From the warm welcome, to live music in the pub, to the attentiveness and care of the staff, we are excited to return.

A quaint, hidden gem! A beautiful room, ultra comfortable mattress, soft cozy bedding, unique amenities, and whirlpool tub. The almond crusted french toast for breakfast was off the charts! Located off the beaten path and worth seeking out. The inn, room, amenities, service and breakfast are memorable. Hope to visit again some day!

My 6 year old daughter and I were taking our first "mother-daughter" vacation to Sheboygan for a few days. We were originally reserved to stay at a nearby hotel. That experience was a nightmare (extremely dirty hotel room, "upgraded" to another dirty room, terrible customer service, etc.) and it looked like I was going to have to cancel our trip and my daughter was very upset. At the last minute, there was an opening at Fairfield Inn that my husband was able to reserve for us. He had been...

This building is new and it shows!! Our room had plenty of space. The bathroom was bright, spacious, and eco-friendly. Loved having a kitchenette with full sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, and dishes/flatware. It is a perfect set up! Location is near downtown- so truly walkable to stores and restaurants. Eisenbahn Trail is steps away!!! The only downside was that our room was close to a side exit and we heard everyone as they entered/exited. Will stay again!

We love skiing and stayed there for 3 nights. Staff was friendly and welcoming. In the lobby you could always find a cup of fresh coffee or tea. Firness room was cute as a buttom, not too big, not too smal and they had everything you need to stay in shape while you travel: cardio and weight lifting equipment. I was impressed and used it with great pleasure! The swimming pool and hot tub were incredibly clean and well taken care of! We enjoyed it! My special Thank you to the lady providing...
