First let me say I am a fan of Comfort Suites and will stay at their properties again. Although I have been pleased with this South Haven Comfort Suites a number of times, I will not stay here again. Front desk staff were nice enough though unwelcoming; and they were unprofessional and at a loss when the hotel lost WiFi one evening. It looked to us as though common areas were vacuumed daily, but when guests come back from the beach all day long, the lobby and elevator get wet and sandy and icky pretty fast. The indoor swimming pool had an area of white scum on the water’s surface the whole three days we were there. Walls in the ice machine/elevator alcove were badly scratched. Our room was not especially clean—only two little gross things, but there should not be any. Breakfast was standard motel fare, but in our opinion, very cheap quality. My stomach turned at the idea of eating another rubbery hard-boiled egg the second morning.
Despite our disappointment on this visit, this Comfort Suites is still mostly your average motel, and if you do decide to stay here, I can offer a little info that I hope might help you. The room windows open. Over a few summers, we have had rooms facing both east and west, and we have never heard any road noise. In our experience, nights are quiet here. The fridge works well; it has no separate freezer compartment, but if you turn the knob to the coldest temp, your frozen items will at least stay very cold. Our rooms have always had plenty of lamps and outlets and USB ports. When the closet door folds open, the bathroom door cannot open, so if you’re in the bathroom when your roommate goes out, be sure he or she does not leave the closet door open. Although this motel is east of Hwy. 196, downtown South Haven is only a few minutes’ drive. Also, if you need to purchase anything, you are just a minute or two from a Walmart, an Aldi, a Meijer, and a Walgreens.
