The Weathervane Inn is always a fun and relaxing place to stay. We love that it’s within walking distance of so many great shops and restaurants. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. Having a deck to walk out in whenever you please is so wonderful, especially during the summer. This place will always have a special place in our hearts!
Thank you for being such a welcoming place to stay!

I did enjoy the stay - very clean and staff was very accommodating. Water pressure for the jacuzzi tub was strong and temp was hot right away. Convenient to get to nearby restaurants and ice cream. There is no elevator so make sure you’re ready for stairs if your room is on the second floor. I was looking for fresh fruit at the breakfast spread but none available. A/C seemed to struggle to keep the room cool during the day but it was in the 90’s outside. Despite no smoking rules at the property, my room always smelled faintly like cigarettes. Check in and check out were super easy.

Bed was comfortable. Location was perfect.

Housekeeping needs some work. The 1st room had dog feces in the bathroom when we checked in. So, they moved us. The 2nd room had dead bugs on the couch, assuming from the lights, items under the bed and the patio was filthy. We paid almost $200 for the room.

Also, I personally don't think Fox News should be played anywhere in a public forum and it was on during breakfast. If you must play news, choose neutral programming. Fox News is TRASH!

Probably won't stay here again.

The room we were given was located toward a back corner across from the laundry facility where the hotel launders all of their bedding (door always open). Right outside our door and to the left is where all the vacuum cleaners and cleaning supplies were kept. We really had the feeling like they forgot about us and stuck us in this room last minute.
The overall room was clean but the pull out sofa had a super thin (I guess you could call it a mattress) that was dirty and most uncomfortable. The regular bed was very comfortable. The air conditioning would run for a short time and then the room felt like a heater was on when it would shut off. The rest of the room, as well as the bathroom were fine. The breakfast had good choices and the staff were helpful. For the money we paid we expected much better. We would not stay here again.

A good base to explore the lake coast. convenient to the Montague Hart biking trail. Hotel Staff was pleasant. The breakfast is basic, but it gives you some choice (try the Brunch House in Muskegon). The room appeared refreshed and we looked out into White Lake. Some road noise from Dowling St. and the bridge. Some comments on the room 222: * The hotel spotlight on the balcony deck can’t be turned off by the staff and it is a deal breaker. Shines all day & night. You can’t enjoy the balcony at night because it is so bright. The room had black out shades in addition to the Venetian blinds, but they were only so-so. Didn’t really matter because the balcony door didn’t have the black out shades on it. Regardless, if you like to leave the window open for fresh air, you then get the bright light. * room really needs a chest of drawers. We were there for 3 night and the closet wasn’t enough room. The couch became the clothes area * I recommend the hotel also add some simple hooks in the entry way for coats and purses, etc. * we didn’t use the whirlpool, but that’s a nice feature. Forget about relaxing with a glass of wine and looking at the stars (see light above). * it would be better if the shades in front on the tub were configured so the adjustment rod was to the right so we didn’t have to climb into/over the tub to open/close. * Pillows are not super good. Need firmer/fuller. * Please spring clean the cobwebs/dirt from the window jambs- you can see when you open the windows.

Nice little hotel overlooking a lake. Enjoyed the deck overlooking the water and the fresh cookies at 5pm. Front desk(Kyle) was amazing! Easy check in, great suggestions for local food.

The only downside was the odd layout of the room. A huge bathtub sits in the middle of the room. Also there are two showers heads in the bathroom with no sink. The sink was located outside the bathroom next to the entry door?

We made it work.

It was a nice peaceful hotel in a charming town. My only complaints were I couldn't get access to the streaming apps on the TV because it looked like the previous guest was still signed on. Even though according to the guest information binder, guests are signed out when they check out. And the volume button did not work, I ended up just streaming on my phone because the TV was too loud and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Also, the guest binder said pilot light is always lit but it was not. And it wasn't a big enough deal to me to ask the desk attendant for help, I was only staying there for a night. And may I suggest a half and half creamer option or unsweetened creamer for coffee drinkers and also more diabetic friendly options for breakfast or something for people who can't handle loads of carbs and sweets in the morning. But I really enjoyed everything else, it was in a nice area. the view from the balcony was beautiful, especially at night with all the lights on the other side of the lake, and I loved the hot tub, and the mini kitchen was very helpful!

First let me say that the Weathervane Inn should be labeled “luxurious”! My room did in fact have a clean working jetted tub and the bathroom shower had two shower heads! The room was spotlessly clean, well stocked, and exactly like shown online. My balcony opened up to a marina with a beautiful view. The staff were kind, happy and accommodating. The coffee and hot water were available all day and evening and warm cookies around 5. My little dog was welcomed and even offered a treat at check-in. The towels were large, fluffy and abundant and my bed was perfectly comfortable. The Inn itself is conveniently located near biking/walking trails around the town and beyond. I loved staying here and highly recommend it for a quiet, peaceful, convenient stay. Thank you Weathervane Inn and staff!!

She said she had been there for 7 years but her down to earth enjoyment of her job, and intricate attention to detail (wishing my husband a happy birthday, and other small talk) was wonderful. Property was very clean, would stay again!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I found lacking at all was the bed. My back was not a big fan, but as I’m very picky about my bed, that is mostly on me.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place. It’s probably even more scenic during the summer.

We definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of this hotel but the spa jets are loud and hard to enjoy, our neighbor left their porch light on so a lot of light came through the shades making it hard to sleep, and our room was right outside the lobby/breakfast bar so we were awakened at 5 am to cabinets closing and breakfast preparation. Otherwise the views and overall feel of the surroundings are great.

We usually come to Weathervane in about twice a year once in the summer and once in the winter we love to walk around the town we love to ride on the trail we love all the local shops including the bookstore the record store the clothing store and the outdoor store which you can rent electric bikes from. The hotel is clean the rooms are great and the view is awesome. They have really good coffee in the lobby and a decent breakfast in the morning. My only complaint is sometimes you can hear kids and dogs so I bring a white noise machine and it completely eliminates this issue
