There are three aspects to this review:
(1) Location -- One of the best locations possible in a lovely part of town, located about 200 feet from the main harbor and marina, within easy walking distance of North Beach, the harbor walking path, and downtown South Haven.
(2) Innkeeper -- Mary Hammer, who has been the Innkeeper for almost 40 years, is one of the most interesting people you will ever meet. She is very friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable of the area. She is also a renowned artist and musician, plus well-traveled. She is "one-of-a-kind" in a very positive sense, and an excellent hostess.
(3) Facility -- The building is old and externally needs some care and attention, especially with respect to painting. The breakfast and lounge areas are very nice, but overall the interior could use a wee bit of refreshing. From a size perspective, the B&B is quite large, with 16 rooms including cottage and apartment. So it's in some ways like a small hotel.
In summary, we rate the Last Resort B&B somewhere between 3 and 4 stars based upon the three aspects just noted above.
