Very walkable spot for downtown and the harbor area. Todd was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was accommodated and everything was running smoothly! He is outstanding and could not be more helpful and welcoming! Made to order breakfast was delicious. Happy hour drinks and snacks were great. Only downside was our bathroom/shower situation was very tiny and tight and lots of street noise at night. However, if we could get a different room we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Todd!

The gentlemen running this place are so nice & caring. It is in the middle of everything. We only used our car when we drove up to Saugatuck. Loved having a home base in the middle of South Haven. The made to order breakfast was perfect. It’s the last cute, quaint and personable place I’ve ever stayed. Would go back with any group, friends, couples or family.

This is a neat historic hotel that has been restored. Rooms are cozy, but well maintained. Hotel staff was very accomodating. Breakfast was home prepared, better than most hotels. Property was quiet. Conveniently located in the downtown area. Downside is parking. You have to park in pulbic parking down the street, but it's doable.

We really enjoyed this historic older building built in 1884 near the black river and close to Lake Michigan. Our room was small but comfortable; quiet at night and in the morning. We had a nice view of the water. Breakfast was phenomenal with many choices like a home-cooked meal. The only hitch was the first night where we didn’t know how to control the room’s radiator heat and it got too warm. The staff was very friendly and helpful offering suggestions on things to do in the area. We were able to do some fun trail walks seeing the beautiful fall colors and many nice little shops in town. We definitely would do it again.

The staff were knowledgeable of the area, accommodating, and very friendly! This was our first stay (2 nights) and we were assigned to room 4. The bathroom/shower was small for us. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars for the facility. We would definitely stay again but request a room with larger bathroom/shower. The breakfast is free with stay and has great order from menu options. The location is also very convenient.
