I am a frequent visitor to South Haven, however usually stay at the home of a friend. This summer, when my friend's home was full for the week, I reserved a room at Hotel Nichols for myself and my daughters (adult). I had walked passed the Nichols many times but had never ventured within. I can tell you that I... more

I have to say that I recommend this hotel for many reasons. The location can't be beat. There are no other hotels downtown, you have to go out by the highway and who wants to do that when you're at the beach. We had one of the larger rooms with 2 double beds and a very large bath room. Our... more

The only way to secure your door is with old skeleton keys that work poorly. I secured my door at night with the skeleton key from the inside. In the morning it took 5 minutes with a flashlight in my mouth to get out of my room. In an emergency situation I would not have been able to escape. I... more

My husband and I loved this hotel! The service was excellent and the location couldn't be beat. It is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The continental breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed learning about the unique history of the hotel. more

Hotel Nichols is a very quaint hotel, right in the center of South Haven. We had the B apartment booked, and we felt totally at home. You had everything you needed (except we could have used a microwave !). The deck was a lot bigger than i expected too. I would definitely stay there again ! Check it out --... more

My husband and I were taking our first trip with our 9 month old. We chose South Haven because it was a 2 hour drive from home and could leave if it was too difficult vacationing with an infant. Hotel Nichols was one of few hotels in the area that accepted children and was close to the beach. Also, the... more

Hotel Nichols regrets that this guest had an unpleasant experience. We are a Historic Inn of over 100 years and do not advertise as an modern hotel. There are pics of every room on our website. We give historic tours of our hotel on a regular basis. You may come tour our hotel and you WILL NOT find any rusted...

Loved it!!!

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Nichols on our honeymoon. We absolutely loved it. I like how each room had its own theme. We stayed in the blue room and it was great!!! Staying there was like home. We felt very welcomed there. Anna Rajter was wonderful. She was very helpful and made great breakfast in the morning. I... more

For a 2 day family get-away last summer, my husband and I brought our 3 year old to South Haven. Not only was I amazed at the scenery and downtown shopping, but Hotel Nichols was fantastic. The staff helped us choose a room to accomodate our toddler and also directed us to child friendly shops and activities to keep us... more
