Room was clean and amenities were very welcoming as were all the staff we encountered during this stay (3days). Beautiful location and views out of all the windows and balcony, as well as large deck area on the water available to other guests. Breakfast was pretty basic but plentiful as well as snack’s available any time.

Liked: Cleanliness
We were unlucky enough to have one of those rooms that the door opened almost directly to a breakfast table. Fireplace pilot light wasn't lit. In-room jacuzzi was noisy and yet jets didn't really do much. Breakfast wasn't much. We moved to another motel for more privacy and better experience. Too bad because location was great for Montague pumpkin fest. Also, night staff was not friendly. Morning staff much better.

The hotel is starting to show its age a little bit, the staff more than makes up for this. The rooms are clean, well appointed and comfortable. The view from our room was beautiful. We have family in the area and will certainly be staying again.

Very nice place right on the water. Cute little downtown. Would stay there again. Had dinner at Hanson Hill in Whitehall to celebrate my wife's birthday and the restaurant was very pleasant with scenic views of the lake. The Weathervane Inn was top notch.
