Recently We stayed at the Waterbury Inn and had a very peaceful stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The décor reminded me of a cottage. Some of the reviews mentioned to stay away from the garden units. We enjoyed the garden unit (#4) because it was quite and had a great view of the woods. No musty smell whatsoever.... More

Whether your in Door County for the summer, the leaves changing in the fall, the festivals or just for a mini getaway the Waterbury Inn is a great place to stay at. It has a great quality for the money spent and the staff is wonderful. I would definately reccomand it for any traveller.

We have stayed at The Waterbury Inn many times. The most recent this past June and October. Both stays were FANTASTIC!! The trip in October was a surprise for my Dads 70th birthday. The staff at the Waterbury helped keep it a secret for over 6months! While they were all helpful, Wally went out of his way to help keep... More

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I had a chance to speek with your father when he checked out and he expressed that he had no clue what his family had planned and was very surprised. I will pass on all the great comments to Wally. He is a great asset to our team. Thank you... More

Reasonable price for a comfortable 3 night stay. Outdoor pool was closed for the fall season but the indoor pool and hot tub was very clean with towels furnished in the pool area. Room was clean and fresh smelling. Free coffee and hot chocolate in the great room and a welcoming fire in the fire place. We asked to pet... More

My wife and I checked into the Waterbury this past Friday (September 28) and stayed two nights. The room was dated (1980's), the sheets were dirty, but the worst was the mold/musty smell. The odor was horrific. My wife has allergies and the mold smell really affected her sinuses. We had to keep windows open the whole time we were... More

I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. We strive to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as we can. I was very surprised to hear that you would have had this issue. It is very rare that we have this complaint and never on second floor. I wish you had come up to the front desk... More

We stayed here because it offered a kitchenette witout the $250.00 price tag....SCORE!! The staff was wonderful. I have allergys and after reading the reviews, I saw that it could be "musty" in the basement level. Not at all! They offered to upgrade us, but I wanted to check it out first and it was fine, so no upgrade. The... More

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We also appreciate your comments about having a great stay in our garden level. Broad steps were taken to address the realtively few issues that we had down in our garden level. After previous complaints, the rooms were stripped down to the concrete. All the concrete floors have been re-sealed... More

We arrived around 2 p.m. and checked in early. The front desk gal was trying to corral her two dogs....who barked and barked. Very laid back front desk atmosphere. I guess I was expecting something a little more formal. Stayed on the 1st level as I've read the 'garden' basement level was musty smelling. Even at that the hallways smelled... More

We stayed at the Waterbury Inn for one-night. We had a two bedroom loft and was perfect for our family with 2 small children. We enjoyed the pool, though it did get a little crowded. The artwork in the room was great and from local artists. They also have free DVD's that you can borrow for a night, a fitness... More

We did not receive a warm welcome upon arriving. Weekend receptionist was on the phone for at least 3 minutes, never once acknowledging that we were standing there until she got off the phone. And then when she did there was no apology for the waiting. 1 small bathroom for a room that accommodates 6 guests. 1 pillow had a... More
