A Day's Stay At The Port City Victorian Inn
After guests make their reservations with us, we look forward to welcoming them to the Inn. Arrival can be any day, Monday thru Sunday, and is typically from 3-6 PM daily, unless the guests make other arrangements prior to their arrival. When they arrive, they check in at our front desk to register and pay for their stay. We generally take them on a tour of the first floor to familiarize them with the Inn’s layout and show them the location for breakfast! We take them upstairs to their room, show them how to work all the special features of the room, and then take a short tour of the second floor including a visit to the second floor Pergola.
A Delicious Breakfast then, A Day of Fun in Muskegon!
After the guests have time to freshen up, they
often come down stairs and ask for help and directions to a
great place to have dinner that evening. If the guest have time,
we will chat about the Inn and the original owners, and may even
have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee to make them feel
welcome and at home. If the guests are pressed for time, we
postpone the chat about the Inn until the next morning at
breakfast, right after the meal. Sometimes when our guests come
down stairs, they just want to look at the many antiques or even
sit down in the fireplace parlor to read a book or look at the
Inn’s History Book on their own.
Guests should expect to be pampered here at Port City Victorian
Inn! Pampering includes inquiring about any dietary restrictions
like wheat or milk product allergies. If there is just a couple
or two for the evening, Barbara will ask if they would like
anything special for breakfast! We always try our best to
accommodate our guest’s preferences and to satisfy their needs.
Barbara always serves a full country breakfast; usually some
sort of egg dish, casserole, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, or one
of her specialty dishes like a jelly-roll-up egg dish, or baked
oatmeal. We always serve a seasonal fresh fruit dish when
available, usually with one of Barb’s special toppings! And yes,
coffee, tea, juice or milk is available around the clock.
Topping off a great breakfast with “something for your sweet
tooth” is another favorite tactic of Barbara's! These goodies
she whips up in the kitchen, (Chief’s choice) may include
homemade “Peach Cake,” English Scones, various strudels, and
muffins.
Check out is the next day at 11:00 A.M. unless the guests have
made other arrangements.
