Renovation is nice and location is great, but service experience was underwhelming. Between dining at street-level restaurant and automated management, felt cold, impersonal. Not what I was looking for to celebrate my wife's birthday. We aren't unaccustomed to paying $400 a night for accommodations, but this is the most unimpressed we've been by a service level at that rate.

Our room was newly and handsomely renovated with a very comfortable bed and nice amenities. Our particular room was quite small (had to open suitcase on top of the bed) but I’m told they have other larger rooms. Restaurant downstairs is superb for dinner. No front desk; electronic check-in, but owners were responsive online.

Beautiful new space to enjoy everything Bayfield has to offer. Wonderful decor, fantastic amenities, and rooftop space! Spent time enjoying the authentic sauna and clean coffee bar. Easy check-in and can’t wait to come back to the space once construction of the first floor is complete. Would recommend this spot to anyone traveling in the area!

This place is money! You feel like you are in a cool metropolitan stay in the heart of a city, but it’s in small town Bayfield. We stayed there to go to a concert and were so pleased with this place that we will make the trip back up there again just to stay at the S J Social. The rooms are so cool. There is a turntable in each room, excellent decor, a coffee in bar down the hall, a sauna and a private rooftop sitting area. I would live in this place! The restaurant and bar downstairs is amazing. Get up there and stay…it’s so worth the drive.
