Nice clean breakfast visits over the years. Honest food, service, and prices. Friendly staff. This is an easy walk fronm the ferry dock and close to a few interesting and eclectic shops. We have never been disappointed.

Bad place to stay if you have a desire for cleanliness or have bad allergies. The hotel is older as well as the furnishings. It smells old and musty. My dust and mold allergies were greatly aggravated to the point of a sinus infection. The ownwers seem to work hard and be dedicated but the place is lacking. Most likely... More

The hotel is a friendly family-run establishment with beautiful grounds, but there are some negatives. The rooms are rather outdated; especially the bathrooms and bedsheets could use updating...some stains/holes on bedsheets/pillowcases and old shower curtains are somewhat hard to ignore. Moreover, the rate is somewhat over-priced for the feel of the property--paying a bit more than what you'd get out... More

We stayed at Findlay's on a Wednesday evening during a bicycling tour of Door County. We wanted to see Washington Island and enjoyed the challenge of catching a ferry when you don't have a car to make up for lost time. We made the 5:00 pm ferry with plenty of time to spare. We found Findlay's to be OK in... More

This inn was just okay but not a bad place to stay by any means. Best part about it was the little restaurant in the inn that obviously is a favorite breakfast place of the locals. Breakfast was delicious and it's certainly the bread and butter of that place. We stayed on the first floor but I'd recommend the second... More

We had a great time on the island, but Findlay's was a huge disappointment. Its not bad per se. But its not good. The... More

Very small bed and breakfast atmosphere. Owners took care of everything from checking us in and out and waiting on tables in the dining room. Very friendly. Rooms had quilts on the beds and small seating alcoves overlooking Lake Michigan. Breakfast is not included, but was fabulous. Lots of locals were eating there the morning we were there. Enjoyed a...

Stayed at this hotel for one night for a trip to hunt with friends on the island. The owner is very friendly and warm and makes great food. The rooms were comfortable and slept well before an early rise to hunt. Would reccomend to travelers looking for a nice, clean place to stay on the island. Would also reccomend this... More
