The Weathervane Inn
Everything was great. Just had one issue, the cleaning staff never looked in the freezer. We found four small containers of ice cream. They had leaked out and the freezer was pretty messy.

Baymont by Wyndham Grand Haven
The breakfast was fantastic. The pool and the hot tub were clean and in good working order. The pool wasn't too cold. It was a good experience. We could have used more (or bigger pillows-when did hotels start cutting their pillows in half?). Also, more than on baby garbage can would be nice.
