Great space for a family of 4. Lobby area is very cozy and the fire pit tables and grills outside were a nice amenity. The property was a little dated, but overall, very clean and nice staff. We especially loved the walkable access to the cafe across the street called Sip. We would stay here again.

It was very comfortable and clean. Sometimes a guest forgets a small item like a toothbrush or razor when they pack. It would be nice if they had a few of these items on hand for forgetful people to buy.

It all worked out

We were originally scheduled to stay at another resort that had a fire and the property was devestated. The Waterbury turned out to be a lovely alternative that we were able to book fairly last second once we realized our original destination had cancelled our booking. Overall, the unit we had was delightful and convenient, and although it rained much of the weekend, we had a pleasant time.

The Waterbury Inn is perfectly located between Sister Bay and Fish Creek. The staff are friendly and the property was very clean, organized and had all the amenities we were looking for. We stayed in a room with a loft. We are a family of six and it worked very well. Our infant was in a pack and play next to us in the king. Our three older kids (2-5-7) slept together perpendicularly in the closed bedroom on the queen bed. When the kids went the bed, my wife and I had the living room space to ourselves to watch some Netflix and grab food/beverages from the fully stocked kitchen. We were very impressed with this hotel and look forward to staying here in the future as the kids grow up.

Our room was not very clean. Bathroom floor/vanity was dirty, carpet dirty. The entire room reeked of the smell of bacon the entire time even after opening windows. Will not stay at the property again. Not worth the amount of money paid.

We were in the lowest level and there were 3 dehumidifier’s running in the hallway the entire weekend. The room smelled a bit musty, especially bad when you opened the kitchen cabinets.
