We stayed 3 nights in one of the motel/cottage rooms and really enjoyed it! We mostly used the room for sleep as we spent a lot of time outside in the lawn getting some sun and taking day trips to the surrounding area. Jensen's is very close to downtown South Haven and several public beaches yet manages to have a... More

Just got back from Jensen's. I was there Thursday thru Monday and I loved it. The little cottages are so cozy and super clean. We had direct tv, refrigerator, air conditioner, all the comforts of home. Matt and Anna make you feel so welcome. If you don't enjoy a relaxing country atmosphere, stay in a stuffy hotel room! Sat out... More

Jensen's is a VERY basic "mom and pop" motel that appears to be going through a prolonged renovation. First, the setting: The motel sits on the grounds of a RV trailer park that seems part storage facility, part full-time/weekenders RV park. The owners seem to be giving it a good go, and the manager is very kind, but I must... More

This is our second year staying here, we stayed in room 3 and once again enjoyed the clean room, comfortable bed and hospitable atmosphere. We highly recommend. The rooms are the most affordable in town without sacrificing quality and you get great service while feeling at home.

Jensen's is a little out of the way Mom and Pop trailer campground with 14 cottage rooms as well. We didn;t have reservations but they treated us as if we had planned our stay for months! The rooms are fairly tiny and from the 1940's. Quiet and well taken care of. A visit down vintage lane. This is not a... More

Anna is just super, and made us feel welcome from day 1. We loved the peace and quiet, and the nice outdoor picnic tables where we had our breakfast every day. Never before have I been personally escorted to a room by the hotel owner to make sure everything was OK...in a golf cart! what a riot. They are a... More

Jensens is an average campground. They lack many modern amenities. Their hotel or I should say motel room are below average. Stale smelling rooms, not well kept.

I stayed here from 8/19-8/22 with my sister. The owners are extremely friendly and the motel is an excellent value. The decor is outdated, but the rooms are clean. There are multiple beach access sites along North Shore Drive within a mile of where the motel is located. It was very convenient. If you are looking for an upscale hotel,... More

We just stayed a week here at Jensen's. LOVED IT! Yes, the rooms are cozy and the decor "retro", but my husband and I LOVED staying here.You can't beat the price. Anna is awesome, and her hospitality is warming. We WILL be back! If you're looking for a 5 star hotel with all the amenities, this is not it. If... More

This is an older establishment but it worked out just fine. It is a short car or bike ride to the beaches and restaurants. It is tidy, safe, and quiet. The owners are pleasant and very helpful. The small refrigerator in the room made food storage easy. I would go back in a second.
