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!

Fantastic Breakfast

Stay was decent. The biggest perk was the included menu breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and a highlight. Very unique hotel but could use some updates. Very clean. We had a street side room. The outside nightlife was loud

We arrived right at the end of happy hour and they gave us the opportunity to enjoy a snack after our drive. We had some drinks also. We were given some great ideas for evening out. We ate at Su Casa across the street and the food was great. Next morning the made to order breakfast was amazing. Overall our room, food, drinks, service were a tremendous. One of the best stays we’ve had!

What a great property! I travel frequently, and this was one of my favorite stays. The property, staff, free breakfast, free happy hour, live music, and adorable room were all wonderful. Perfect location to walk to beach, bars/restaurants, farmer's market, etc. I would definitely stay in South Haven again and would book this property if available.

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.
