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.

The rooms could use a little paint and repair, but overall good. There was sand in the tub and the bathroom floor needed cleaning. Staff was super nice. Food was good. I would stay again.

Hotel Nichols is a not-so hidden gem of South Haven. Located in a prime area of downtown South Haven, it’s location is perfect for walking around town, and a short ride or nice walk to the beach. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a happy hour complete with wine, a local draft beer option and a large charcuterie spread. Nick, the owner, checked us in and made us feel right at home with his kind demeanor. We stayed in room 10. Our room was clean and inviting, with everything we could need. Although we were close to the lobby, we slept well. Breakfast in the morning was just icing on the cake. All food was made fresh, and we got to pick from a nice menu. I highly recommend staying at Hotel Nichols if you can.
