Wonderful place!

Just absolutely fabulous. Not only is this old historic hotel clean and beautiful the staff is amazing. The owner even came and hung out with us. This is almost like a bed and breakfast. I highly recommended staying here. We will be back again!

Can’t wait to come back!

This historical hotel is one of the coziest places I’ve ever stayed. The room was charming and felt like I was in a home rather than a hotel. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful and the breakfast they provided was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. Hope to return and enjoy again! The location is also perfect as there are so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Truly a lovely experience.

It was a wonderful stay. The innkeeper, Nick, was an incredible host. He gave great advice on local stuff—and is a fantastic breakfast chef! A visit to South Haven at this hotel is a special treat.

What a great Hotel! Its unique, clean, comfortable, friendly and walking distance to everything. Happy hour was a pleasant surprise. We only planned on having a drink then going out on the town. Ended up meeting new friends, feasting on an outstanding charcuterie spread and drinking wine much later than we planned. They even had an industrial size ice maker! Nick was very accommodating. Loved the monitor at the front desk that stated where we could find you if we needed help. Breakfast the next day was just as good. We did get to town midday so parking was not an issue. Would stay there for future visits. Enjoyed the St Joe/South Haven area. Some of our highlights walking: hit the farmers market, Harbor Light Brewery (and maybe a few other similar establishments), walked down the pier to the lighthouse, beach and around the neighborhood to look at the houses.

Historical hotel not that great

People and service was very nice. Our room was a cracker box with several safety issues. My husband could not shower comfortably as it was so tiny. Thought it would be nicely painted etc. decorated from a thrift shop. Again people were nice and location perfect but would not stay there again. And no parking available
