We have stayed here a few times. Definitely needs to be upgraded. Old style tv's, noises room heater and tub jet control not working but the rooms are huge in a lovely location. The bed was large and firm and it was a romantic setting. Would recommend.

We loved our mini vacation in South Haven. Yes, Harbor Inn is a little out of date, but the staff wsa fantastic and we weren't in the room much anyways. It is close to the bar, but we couldn't hear any of the music from our room. Walking distance to everything!

This hotel is in a perfect spot in South Haven. We choose a deluxe room with harbor view and it was truely amazing. The room was decorated very classy with high end furniture and accesories. The bed was a king size memory foam mattress with soft linnens. I had the best nights sleep of my life! The sofa was sink... More

The carpets were filthy, we had to call the desk to get trash removed ,sheets and blankets were left pulled out and wrinkled at the bottm of the bed but the spread was pulled... More

We stayed at the Old Harbor Inn in late August, 2012. Having read several of the reviews, I pretty much knew what to expect. It is an older, more rustic property. The carpeting needs to be replaced throughout. Our room was very big and had been recently renovated (except for the carpet). The beds were very comfortable and we had... More

My sister and I took our mother on an overnight trip to South Haven. Considering there wasn't much on the waterfront (accomodations) and looking at comments before we went we pretty much got what we were expecting. The hotel is very old and dirty. I will say the room was very large including a living room, small kitchen, and bedroom.... More

I stayed here for two nights with my friends, we had two rooms and they were wonderful! The beds are comfortable and the view of the river and South Haven is amazing. However, when we arrived at the hotel the front desk lady would not even stand up and point us in the right direction after giving us the keys,... More

What a perfect place to stay. My wife and I rode our bikes from Kalamazoo and were totally worn out when we arrived. They had a place to store our bikes and trailors. We were checked in quickly and found ourselves in a gorgeous room looking out our private balcony on the harbor, also a big window over the cute... More

This was the perfect location. We could park across the street for free and walk or bike whereever we liked. Our first room was charming but had filthy carpeting. We mentioned it at the desk and they immediately moved us with a nice upgrade. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here because family had stayed in the past and enjoyed it. Well we didn't splurge for the grande suite so I guess we didn't get the grand treatment. Our room carpet felt nasty to walk on barefooted, the cream colored chairs were covered in stains, the leg broke off the chair, the desk chair wouldn't adjust, so it... More
