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.

This is a neat historic hotel that has been restored. Rooms are cozy, but well maintained. Hotel staff was very accomodating. Breakfast was home prepared, better than most hotels. Property was quiet. Conveniently located in the downtown area. Downside is parking. You have to park in pulbic parking down the street, but it's doable.

This is one of those classic jewels you search for. The staff was fabulous and so were the guests! Hanging out in the lounge gave me the feeling of a home away from home. Breakfast was home made and fast. Served with care. The building is old so has its creaks and moans but that is part of the charm. Right in the middle of an amazing little town.

From the moment Todd greets you, you know it's going to be a great stay. Todd wears all the hats like straight out of a Hallmark movie. He greeted us, and he accommodated a last-minute addition (an extra sister) and checked us in early. He reminded all guests of happy hour between 5-7. He sat with the guests and got to know us. He is so personable. The room was so cozy, and the beds were so comfortable. So much so I had to call to find out what kind of mattress it was, and Nick provided me with the information. We all ageed that this will be our new go-to place. Looking forward to visiting again.

So welcoming on check in. Gave us great dinner recommendations. Happy hour on Friday gave us an opportunity to meet other guests which was great. The owner joined us and gave us a tour of the property plus lots of history. This is an old (148) year hotel. Well renovated!! Kind of a cross between a hotel and bnb. Highly recommend it. Parking close by. Stairs to room on the second floor. Breakfast great. Right downtown. We walked all over town. Would return on a heartbeat.
