I walked into a construction zone. The owners are creating a social area off of the lobby. My room was on the 2nd floor. Very clean and comfortable. This is a hidden gem, and with the completion of the common area will add to it's charm.

2 complaints: we had a first floor room and when people moved around in the floor above, there was terrible squeaking noise especially at night. Really bothersome. The parking lot is in terrible need of a restriping.

This hotel is undergoing a change in management and upgrades. The lobby and small bar are good. The breakfast was not good at all. Go somewhere else. The rooms need an overhaul not just a small upgrade. But the bed was ok. It was a long wait to find someone at the front desk 2 times I went down. The area was very good.

This is a wonderful spot and lovely place to stay in Sheboygan. It is waterfront and walkable. The staff is accommodating and friendly. Lots of extra touches like 24/7 coffee and complimentary breakfast and water only added to this place. Would definitely stay here again!

Harbor Winds is more like a motel. Physically outdated, functionally and stylistically and not in a quaint way. Te room was tidy, but not clean. The power hub was sticky and seemed surfaces haven’t been clean throughly in a while. The staff is ambivalent about the short comings, but have a natural Midwest sweetness that is disarming.

The hotel was located along the riverwalk which was very nice. You could walk the riverwalk all the way to the beach and Lake Michigan shoreline. There are several food options within walking distance. The room was comfortable and clean. You do hear some traffic noise in the room because of the location of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay and loved being able to walk along the river at night as the fishing boats were coming in with their catch.

The room was very clean and the bed was comfy! I was very impressed with the bathroom in particular. The hotel staff were friendly and the hotel itself is in a great location. You could easily walk to anywhere you needed to go. My only gripe is that the walls seemed to be very thin; you could clearly hear everyone in the lobby and through the hallway. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was very dirty. My shoes and bare feet were sticking to the floor in front of the bathroom sink. I took a white hand towel, got it wet with hot water, put it on the floor and stepped on it and wiped the floor. The towel came up very dirty. I took the towel to the front desk and told the clerk to show this to the management. I never heard from anyone except the clerk who apologized. I will never return to this hotel.

We didn't go to the bar or eat breakfast there. Great location- we got miles of steps in! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy, good water pressure! Would have preferred a room with a water view- you could hear alot of street noise/cars,ect.. from the street view room. Bring a white noise machine!

It is on a river and along a nice walking path. There is nothing special about the hotel property itself. But it is pleasant and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was dated but clean. I would advise against a room near an outside door. I was in 201, and was awoken at 4:15 am by the door banging against the jam when someone kept going in and out. For what it has to offer, for example a breakfast of basically toast and cereal, it is pricey in my opinion. But, a comfortable bed can be priceless! I kept the price down a bit by using a third party service.

The hotel owner even went to a local store and purchased a pair of mens socks for me, when i discovered while dressing for my sons wedding ceremony, and realized that i hadn't packed any. NOW THAT IS OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WILL ABSOLUTELY STAY THERE AGAIN IN FUTURE VISITS TO SHEBOYGAN WI.

The beds and pillows were super comfy and the provided shampoo and body wash was top notch. 10/10 would stay here again.

The manager of this property is fantastic! She does everything around the hotel, and does it well! She was incredibly welcoming, sweet, and helpful. The property was charming, and used to be associated with the military, and included a picture of the original building. Being right on the water was fantastic, and it was very walkable to close shops and restaurants. We will be back!!

My family and I were in town for a fishing charter that was unfortunately cancelled due to weather. This hotel was in the v perfect location for a great price. Zach at check in was wonderful. Room was very clean with adjustable thermostat. Bathroom smelled a little like bleach, but was clean. Beds were a bit too firm for my liking and woke up sore, but that's just a personal thing. General continental breakfast of pastries, granola bars, oatmeal and coffee. Nice restaurants in walking distance if you need more. Sitting area downstairs overlooked the river with televisions and games available.
