Great Lakes Inn & Suites is a small reasonable priced motel located 1.5 miles form downtown South Haven. The beach is approximately seven minutes drive from the property. All rooms are equipped with a microwave and a mini fridge. Property, also has a season Indoor pool.
Dirty rooms! Dirty floors! New high pressure toilets spray piss out onto the floor when flushed! Bathroom floors were not mopped! If you want proof...wear your white socks around on the carpet for 15 minutes. Want proof in the bathroom??? Use one of the hand towels on the floor around the toilet.

I booked for 2 nights. I opened the door and first thing I see is the bathroom. It is so old and dilapated. Floors are filthy. Tub has some kind of dirt in the corner. The hair dryer cord was brown and the dryer stuck to my hand- it would only work on low. If you want to swim in the pool, they dont give you pool towels. You have to use the 2 in your room and exchange them at the front desk when done swimming for fresh towels. I didnt want to touch ANYTHING. I wouldnt even put the bottom of my shoes on the "task chair" that was falling apart. I told the owner as we checked out early after the first night that it was disgusting and filthy and he SHOUTS at me - "YOU DISGUSTING"! Do not stay there. It is horrible.

I have a credit card I only use for places I think might be "iffy" in regards to the security of my personal data. Days after staying here, I had someone charge almost 500 buck worth of stuff at Victoria's Secret, and about 200 bucks at DSW Shoes. Since Great Lakes was the only charge made on this card in over a year, it was not too hard to figure out where the info breach most likely occurred. Room itself was clean(ish) - Definitely in need of a few repairs but I have stayed in worse places. Carpet was damp, as if from a recent, crappy cleaning job.....The lingering odor of cigarettes seemed to emanate from the damp carpet. The wifi access was practically nonexistent and 100% unsecured (so I did not use it anyway). I can confirm other reports there WERE down-and-out looking individuals that appeared to be actually living at the motel (211 Motel Voucher Program participants, maybe?). Staying a second night at this motel was out of the question (we ended up spending the balance of the vacation at the Hampton Inn across town, which was well worth it - exponentially better than the Great Lakes Inn. look forward to returning to South Haven, but will never stay at Great Lakes Inn & Suites again. What mother always said is true: "You get what you pay for".…

Relatively clean, but our room badly needs improvement. Cracked bathroom sink and wall switch, old “beat” furniture, old king mattress. Nice tv with premium cable. Were there for two nights but could not get clean towels!!! The night desk didn’t answer their ring at 10:30 pm, and they post that they provide new towels only 1000 and 1200!!

Funky smell and crumbling bathrooms. Toilets and sinks mostly clogged. Front desk help is useless. And, to top it off, raging fight in the room next door at 3 AM. Breakfast is a joke. Sleep in your car, you’ll thank me.

Came here because our pump in our well went out at our home and it was going to be a day or two to be fixed. We came by great lake inn & suits and i like simple and quiet so we checked in. Its is simple and quiet. Staff so very nice and helpful. Very clean. I would come back just for a quiet get away and i definitely recommend if you are traveling and come through south heaven and was a place to rest and even take in some of what south haven has to offer this is a wonderful place to stay!

Last minute trip on Labor Day weekend and you get what’s left. They have tried to update the hotel, but it needs more work. Rooms are still outdated and a little musty. It’s fine for a 1 night stay. Clientele needs to be improved as well, looks like it’s a weekly flop house rental to keep it going. Would probably only stay again if nothing else was available.
