Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express South Haven by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Booked two rooms next to each other one was 420.00 other was 486.00. Not good!! Hotel however was great"

Historic Hotel Nichols

10/10 Excellent

"Check was easy, the manager explained the Wi-Fi the password the TV after hours entry rules and we were able to put it in order for our breakfast early the next morning! This is the only hotel in downtown South Haven, so it was very convenient for walking to the pier and two restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend to anyone anticipating travel to that area in my parking is an issue you have to take advantage of one of the public lots in the vicinity, which ended up not being an issue for us."

Captain's Quarters Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Four legged office managers were amazing. The human counterparts were too. The location is great, probably the best pick in town. Just a 15minute walk or a 5 minute drive (at max). The rooms were cool and quiet. I really liked the nice patio yard even with the squirrels throwing walnuts at me."

Starlite Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this pleasant updated motel. Check in was a breeze, the room was very clean and well decorated. Recent updates brought the 50's-60's single level motel style into today's most needed amenities. The grounds included a well maintained heated pool and hot tub along with multiple seating areas around fire pits for a quiet evening. Will definitely be back to stay on our next visit!"
