“My family and I stayed at the Bluewater for a few evenings Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner, a kind, welcoming, and courteous gentleman who truly cares about his quests. The hotel is right in front of the beach.A place that has a history,it's understandable that somes imperfections are showing. The rooms were clean,the majority of them are well furnished, you will find most of the things you need for your stay,for example;there's a small kitchen with a mini fridge, a mini oven,a sink, the TV, air conditioning and more. If you're in the area and looking for a place to stay, I personally recommend it. I found it a pleasant place and have no complaints. Thank you to the Weavers Family From Montreal, Hector.”

“The Bluewater Inn is an older hotel, but it is very well kept and clean. The beds are very comfortable! Some might call the hotel vintage. The floors are wooden and creak in places, but that is part on the charm. We really like staying here and Mike, the owner, is very accommodating if you need anything. It also has a great location, right across the street from Grand Haven State Park, and the sunset views are spectacular! We plan to stay here every year!”

“We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel in Grand Haven. The location is absolutely perfect—right on the lake with the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. Every evening felt like a postcard view as the sun went down over the water. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and being able to walk along the waterfront and enjoy the fresh lake air made the trip even more special. The views alone are worth the stay. Waking up to the lake and ending the day watching the sunset was unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy the beach town charm, and experience some of the best sunsets on Lake Michigan, this is the perfect spot. We would definitely come back again!”
