Our stay couldn’t have been better. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The front lobby was like relaxing in your living room and the freshly cooked breakfast which was chosen off a large menu the night before came out piping hot and delicious at the time you requested. It’s like staying in a good friend’s home. The location is right downtown with many shops, restaurants, the beach and lighthouse all within an easy walk. Can’t wait to come back

It was our first time in South Haven, and we couldn’t have felt more welcome here! The staff was so friendly and helpful during check-in, and the complimentary breakfast didn’t hurt either! The boutique-style rooms are cozy, with antique charm, making it feel more like you’re staying at a relative’s than a corporate chain. All-in-all, we had a lovely stay at Historic Hotel Nichols, and will most definitely be back!
