This Mequon motel has overstayed its welcome.

The former Port Zedler Motel, built in 1969, is located at 10036 N. Port Washington Road. Mequon Mayor John Wirth said the motel “will be missed as a quaint part of our history.” That was in late 2019, when the city issued a raze or repair order.

But the motel’s owners took the city to court over the order. A circuit court judge sided with the city in September, said Brian Sajdak, Mequon city attorney.

The city is expected by late April to issue an RFP for the motel’s demolition. The Common Council may approve the selection of a contractor in May, he said.

“It sat a little bit longer than I think we wanted it to, (but) we are now back in the process of moving forward with getting the building razed,” Sajdak said.
