Inns & Resorts
Inns and resorts are either operated by the owner or run by an innkeeper or a manager who often lives at the property. Larger than most B&Bs, they typically include more rooms, and some serve both breakfast and dinner. Often, there will be family-friendly scheduled activities at the resorts.

If basic comforts for a lower price are all you need, a South Haven motel can be the way to go. Motels are often ideal for those who might be on a stricter budget or intend to be out and about a bit more. Formed from the phrase “motorist’s hotel,” they also often provide ample parking for vehicles and close proximity to highways.

Aside from being economical, camping cabins connect you to South Haven’s nature and wildlife.You’re beyond the bustle of town but still close enough to enjoy the beach, a day of shopping or a night of dining and strolling if you choose.

Other Lodging Considerations
You may already know which type of lodging will be best for your next perfect South Haven vacation, as well as your budget for it. The following ideas will help you further zero in on the right accommodations.
- Know your companions’ needs and preferences, especially if you’ll be traveling with children or seniors. Consider whether they’ll need convenient access to stores, medical centers, and child or senior care. Family entertainment and activities might be factors as well.
- Make a list of where you’ll want to spend time. It is important that your lodging be central to your destinations?
- Factor in food. Will your budget allow for dining out often at South Haven’s restaurants, or will you want to buy groceries and prepare your own meals? Perhaps you’re in a position to mix both. Beyond the time you plan to enjoy in South Haven, food might influence your choice of quarters.
