Best Place to stay in South Haven 👍👍
Enjoyable, relaxing, close to downtown and the beach. Love the barge where they have food and drinks. Next time getting a room on the 2nd floor facing the harbor and stay longer.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay. We stayed on the harbor side, which I enjoyed. I liked being connected to the downtown area and could also walk to the beach. The people at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The only suggestion to make it a little better would be to ensure the patio area is clear of spider webs and possibly repaint the small tables on the deck.
