    Located in beautiful, historic, downtown Sturgeon Bay, the Holiday Music Motel is within walking distance of the best shops, restaurants, and budding live-music nightlife Sturgeon Bay has to offer. Built in 1952, this "retro-vated" boutique motel features pillow-top mattresses, high-quality bedding, Free Wireless Internet, Cable TV, picnic area on front lawn, complimentary continental breakfast, pet-friendly rooms and more. Their highly competitive rates, attention to detail, friendly staff and unbeatable location makes The Holiday a prime destination for your lodging experience. With a 4.5 rating out of 5 on TripAdvisor, The Holiday Music Motel prides themselves in offering a unique lodging experience by providing all the modern comforts and amenities while retaining its 50s charm. The Holiday Music Motel was Door County's first-ever motel, opening its doors within only a couple of months previous to the 'Holiday Inn' franchise. Other historical highlights of the motel include original Simmons furniture in all the rooms, original tiling and fixtures, classic breakfast-nook 50s style diner, the iconic Holiday Motel Neon sign at the edge of the motor pool lot, original classic white stucco exterior with red awnings, and more... To add to the historical charm, the motel is seated at the foot of the recently saved Michigan Street Steel Bridge (the inspiration for the annual Steel Bridge SongFest, held each June). Owned and run by a group of musicians and music enthusiasts, in addition to being a one of the area's most loved lodging destinations, the motel has also become a songwriting destination and home-away-from-home for musicians and performers passing through Door County. The motel also boasts an in-house recording studio that has produced 100s of songs most of which can be found on various collections of CDs available for sale through the motel website!

    Very happy with visit

    April 19, 2013

    My husband and I were on a trip to visit Sturgeon Bay because he had a job interview. We arrived at the motel pretty late. The staff was friendly and very nice the whole time we were there. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. I would definately stay there again. As a matter of fact, I'm about to see if I can reserve another night because we have to go up to look at apartments since my husband did get the job. If you have any doubts about whether or not to stay here (I had some at first because I was only looking at the web page and had never heard of it before) - my advice is go ahead and book it. High marks from me and hubby.

    Have stayed here before and enjoyed being so close to downtown. It was also very quiet in the morning which was much appreciated! Coffee was better this time than I remembered it. I'll be back next time I am passing through.

    Music Lover's Paradise

    March 05, 2013

    My girlfriend and I needed a get away and were aware of this motel in Sturgeon Bay. Our stay was outstanding in every way. It was affordable and the staff was everything one could hope for. We really enjoyed witnessing the live webcast featuring some great musicians and songs. We shall return and next time I'm bringing my guitar!

    Greatest Place I've Ever Stayed

    January 06, 2013

    I'd go back in a heartbeat. Not only is the place adorable, but it's also very nice and well taken care of. I went to Sturgeon Bay just to stay here, and it blew my already high expectations away.

    Great Motel

    December 30, 2012

    We really enjoyed our stay at this nicely retro decorated motel. The room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for walking to the downtown area. I will recommend this motel to anyone heading to the Door County area.

    A great value

    December 24, 2012

    The thing I liked most about the H.M.M. was the location. The rooms and the service were excellent but being right down town was the best. Shopping and dining were right out the door, no need to take the car.
