What guests think

At Best Western Maritime Inn, travelers describe an older property with spacious but dated rooms, generally friendly service, and mixed upkeep, producing stays that range from clean and comfortable to musty, maintenance-challenged, or disrupted by construction or amenity closures.

The indoor pool and hot tub earn both praise and complaints for temperature, cleanliness, or unexpected closures; there is no elevator to upper floors, while parking is easy but some entry doors and vending machines were unreliable during stays. Breakfast feedback is split, with many finding it good and varied, yet recurring reports cite bland or cold items, early closing or slow refills, and occasional hygiene concerns. Location is convenient for Sturgeon Bay and Door County attractions, close to shops and restaurants, though a car is typically needed and it’s not particularly scenic. Expect a simple stay with trade-offs in age and consistency.

The hotel was older, but clean and good condition. We loved our room, it was very spacious and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The location of the room was awkward because it was right at the stair landing and there was an ice machine right outside our room which someone used at 2:00 am! The pool and hot tub were great. I appreciated the warmer temperature of the pool water.

Property was under construction which was not included on the property description but did have a sign on the front door saying construction was M-F 8 to 5. This was Sunday. Normally this wouldn't bother me but a large section of metal trim was flapping in the wind against the side of the building under our window. Think cowbell in a stampede. Staff was unable to contact owner but allowed us to sleep in another room across the hall on 2 double beds instead of 1 King size. Paid extra for a Hot Tub, which was Luke warm at best. Room phone out of order to contact front desk. Sink drain broken. Did not try to compensate us for our troubles

An older motel that is well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The lobby is welcoming with a seating area that has a living room apearance. The cletk who checked us in was very cheerful and friendly. The rooms have large flat screen TVs and spacious refrigerators with a freezer section that is convenient for re-freezing travel ice chest freezer packs. The pool is larger than most indoor motel pools and well maintained. The enclosed lounge/dining area where breakfast is provided is very spacious. The full breakfast was very good and included eggs, sausage, and waffles, bagels, glazed doughnuts, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, and juices. This motel is very well priced for the amenities included.

I stayed three nights ( room 150) second evening I found apparent rodent feces and soiled toilet in bathroom; showed to front desk staff who agreed but did not clean up; next day manager agreed with my assessment, had me take my belongings out and moved me to another room (151); she demonstrated no knowledge of risks of rodent feces and human excrement exposure and no understanding of proper biohazard clean up and remediation. I requested refund and none granted. Breakfast: apparent generic cereal, no fresh fruit or yogurt, very slim pickings for vegetarian or vegan. Safety: sidewalk was being replaced in front of facility; there was a drop off of 4-6 inches from parking lot to removed sidewalk; I observed no warning signage, no warning tape or other safety cordoning. Facility old, carpet degraded, room furnishings scratched and marred. No USB charging capability. Deferred maintenance: sink stop nonfunctional in both rooms. Best Western Customer Relations: of no benefit whatsoever; facility privately owned and operated, management decisions not subject to intervention by BWH.

ONE thing I found totally unacceptable....when I started pulling the sheet down to get ready for bed, I noticed a small blood stain on the sheet. It was disgusting. I called the front desk and the attendant came and changed the sheets. But it was a gross thing to find. Secondly, the fridge in the room was so loud at times, it sounded like the motor was ready to go. Finally.....I'm a tea drinker. At the breakfast buffet I looked for tea bags...there were none to be found. I asked if I could get a tea bag. I was told I had to go to the front desk to get one. How ridiculous is that!!!! I've never been to a hotel that did that. Pretty annoying.

We booked a room with an in-suite tub, but when we checked in, we were told they didn’t allow pets in that room, so we got moved to another room. When I asked about the price difference, I was told we had to take that up with Expedia. There was a dead cockroach in the bathroom, and some trash on the floor. The AC did not keep the room cool, even though we had it at 64. We paid $250/night for this room, after the additional $20/night pet fee - very disappointing.

The breakfast was terrible, the worst tasting hotel breakfast I've ever had!

The hotel is old and is in need of major updating and repairs and is grossly overpriced considering its age and condition. The whole building smelled have a damp musty smell. The air conditioning (super loud) blew straight up into the curtain and didn't cool off the room. the thin blanket on the bed was probably from the 80s, sandwiched between 2 flat sheets. Breakfast/coffee was not good. Lori who was working at the front desk was nice and helpful. I thought the cost for the outdated room was expensive, not worth what we paid to stay there.

The fridge’s compressor made a loud humming sound. I finally unplugged it. No where to plug in a cpap. This place needs a complete updating. At $244 per night, you’d think the could afford it.

The beds were hard, bath towels really small, the thin blanket on the bed was probably from the 80s, sandwiched between 2 flat sheets. It’s kind of a bad sign when the hallways need Glade plug-ins to improve the smell. Not worth what we paid to stay there.

I was disappointed that the room I reserved was not allowed to have a dog. To notify me at the time of check-in was inappropriate. It should have been at the time of reservation or before check-in for me to decide if that is what I wanted. Kind of difficult to change at check-in. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant.

A phone call was more important than checking us in as we stood there waiting for the clerk to finish a conversation. Yes, it was a business matter, but still we waited too long to be helped. Then the refrigerator didn't work in the room and the shower barely trickled lukewarm water. For the exhorbitant price, we expected more. Positives: comfortable beds, decent breakfast, convenient parking

Our room has a soak-in tub for extra money and I like it. Very friendly front desk. However, the breakfast was disappointing because the lady put up all the chairs on the tables in the dining room. Who does that in a hotel dining room? When I walked in, I felt unwelcomed. The scrambled eggs were gone when we walked in. It was only 8 a.m. When asked why there was not enough egg by another customer, the lady said she could not keep up with it because everyone was eating so much egg. That was rude to he customers since breakfast was included. There were decent customers eating breakfast there that day. The lady was unprofessional and insensitive for her remarks. I called the front desk and talked with Bill. Bill agreed with me as he mentioned that he did not like the chairs on the tables either. We did not have breakfast the next morning and just left. We did not want our trip to be ruined. There was a very good Mexican restaurant nearby and I was very happy with my food.
