"Located in central Bayfield,WI. Easy access to lakefront outings. Though located above "social club" and restaurant, noise not a problem. Decor/styling are modern and good quality. Property is without a frontdesk, so check in is virtual. Site used for this was somewhat difficult to navigate. Check in not until 4p. Street parking only, unless arrangements for reserved parking made ahead of time."
