Old Harbor Inn

EDIT 2: Knocking off another star. I reached out to the Old Harbor Inn after my stay to express dissatisfaction that the pool was gone, despite Google mentioning it is still present. Being a repeat customer for many years, you would expect the hotel to list major changes such as these. There was no response from the Old Harbor. It's very unfortunate, too, their hotel is nice. But their service and attention to detail is lacking. EDIT: Knocking off one star. The pool is gone. I just came back from a visit with my daughter, who was visibly disappointed as such. Original review: LOVE this place! Been coming here since I was a kid, and it never disappoints. Fantastic location, 1 block from downtown, 7 minutes from the beach, right on the harbor...as picturesque as can be. Plus, all the rooms are slightly different - each time I stay, it's never the same (but always good). Plus, it has an indoor pool, for the days when the weather just doesn't cooperate. My favorite place to go in harbor country!

Stayed in a Harbor View room. Room was so mondern and nice. The website did not do the hotel justice. They weren't busy so the very polite lady at the desk let us look at several rooms. All were very nice and updated. The pictures on the website must be out-dated because the rooms certainly are not! Very pleased with our stay and will be returning! Absolutely no complaints!

I'm so glad that I was not swayed by reading negative comments about Old Harbor Inn. We just spent an amazing weekend there, and can't say enough great things about it. The room (#29) was spacious and nicely decorated, and we spent more time on the small balcony than we thought we would, making it totally worth it. The bed was more than comfortable, and we literally have zero complaints about our stay. It was our first trip to South Haven, and we will most certainly be back. While we did drive to nearby state parks for one day (which were totally worth the drive), the rest of our 3-day weekend was spent walking to the nearby beaches, walking around town shopping and dining, and enjoying amazing sunsets. It was a perfect location, being on the water and being within walking distance of just about anything you could want to do. Because our room had everything we needed (including a bottle opener which we had forgotten) our interaction with the staff was minimal, but they were always friendly. It was the most laid back, relaxing weekend we have had in nearly 20 years, and we just might have to make this a yearly tradition at Old Harbor Inn. If you need a pool, or continental breakfast, or a fitness room, or nightclub, then this isn't the place for you. But it's not meant to be your standard hotel... it's a retreat. If you want to get away from your daily life and relax, this is the perfect place to do just that. (Keep in mind that we went in late October, and while many local shops were closed for the season, many were not. It was not the party scene that probably takes place on summer weekends, and I'm sure it was quieter because of that. But there was still more than enough to do around town.)
