Perfect spot for a quick weekend trip to the beach! Very clean and cozy! Customer Service is wonderful! We plan to visit again. Thank you for making our trip cozy and restful!
We stayed here just one night 6/16/25 after camping with family and we were so pleased! The price was great, staff was excellent, rooms were clean and comfortable. We will definitely be staying here in the future! Such a great location just 5 minutes to downtown South Haven and the beach!
Room was clean, price was doable, got some much needed sleep. Close to town, restaurants, shopping and gas stations.
Great place to stay. Location was great, price was even better.Very clean and neat. Will be coming back in the future.
Owner is very friendly and patience. The rooms are very clean, just what you need after some long drive. Bed was soft and the blankets remind me of my grandma's blankets. Only thing i could complain was the AC/Heater unit is a tad bit loud when it runs, but it was still a good night rest. Lots and lots and LOTS of channels on tv, a lot more than any other hotels i have been at!
Booked through booking.com and had issues. Went in he still gave me the same price. Walking distance to town. Friendly and mostly quiet. Really good budget spot.
Great rooms and very friendly staff, A great place to stay.
Staff was nice enough to let us see the room before booking . It was clean . The outside looks sketchy but it’s a good place to stay at . Definitely will be staying here next time in town .
Set in a rural area off I-196, this straightforward hotel is 4 miles from South Haven Area Regional Airport, and 3 miles from both North Beach Public Park and the Kal-Haven Trailhead.
