Niles Hotels: Where to Stay in Michigan
Hotels in Niles, Michigan, checked against two sources each. See which stays are open, which have closed, and what to confirm by phone before you book.
Sammie O
Hotels in Niles, Michigan, are few, so a short list works better than a long one. Three chain hotels stand on the south side of town, one historic estate offers bed and breakfast rooms on the St. Joseph River, and one large rental home appears on booking sites. Two older landmarks no longer take guests. This guide covers every Niles hotel we could confirm, flags the gaps, and shows how to pick a base for the Niles History Center, the riverfront, and a game weekend in nearby South Bend. We do not quote rates because rates change daily. Phone calls settle the rest.

Table of Contents
Hampton Inn Niles
Hampton Inn Niles stands at 1446 South 11th Street, Niles, MI 49120. The Hilton site lists the hotel as the one Hilton property with a Niles address. The Hilton listing shows free breakfast, free parking, and an indoor pool. We did not find a confirmed front desk phone number, so use the Hilton booking page for questions.
An Expedia listing gives check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. The same listing sets a minimum check-in age of 21, a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and business services. The property is smoke free.
Expedia also places the hotel an 8-minute walk from Riverfront Park South and a 16-minute walk from Brandywine Creek Nature Park. We could not confirm those walking times with the hotel. Test the route on a map before you count on a walk.
Pick Hampton Inn if you want breakfast, a pool, and a familiar brand within reach of the river.
Quality Inn and Suites Niles
Quality Inn and Suites sits at 1265 South 11th Street, Niles, MI 49120. Choice Hotels lists the same address, free Wi-Fi, hot breakfast, and a pet-friendly policy. A travel-trade listing adds a phone number of 269-240-9345 and a toll-free line of 877-424-6423. Only one source gave us the phone numbers, so confirm both before you rely on them.
The trade listing describes a three-story building with 51 rooms, built in 1992 and last renovated in 2012. The listing also names microwaves, refrigerators, some kitchenettes, laundry facilities, and both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out ends at 11:00 AM. The listing says pets stay with fees. We could not verify room counts, renovation dates, or pool details with the hotel, so treat each as unconfirmed.
The old version of this guide mentioned a hot tub. We found no source for a hot tub, so ask the front desk if you want one.
Pick Quality Inn if you want a kitchenette, a pet-friendly room, and a simple stay on the same street as Hampton Inn.
Holiday Inn Express and Suites Niles
Holiday Inn Express and Suites stands at 1000 Moore in Niles, MI 49120. One listing writes the street as Moore Drive and another writes Moore Street, so check your map app before you drive. A meetings directory lists the phone number as 269-684-0300. We found one source for the number, so confirm the number before you rely on the number.
An Expedia listing gives check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, with a minimum check-in age of 21. The listing counts 70 rooms with Wi-Fi and flat-screen televisions. A hot breakfast buffet runs on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 9:30 AM, according to the listing. Guests also get an indoor pool, a fitness room, a business center, and lobby coffee at all hours.
The meetings directory lists a single meeting room for up to 50 people. Event planners should ask the hotel for the current room setup.
The hotel does not allow pets, though service animals are welcome. Choose Quality Inn instead if a pet travels with you.
Pick Holiday Inn Express if you want a larger room count, a business center, and a hot breakfast on weekdays.
The Morris Estate and the River House
The Morris Estate is the most distinctive stay in the Niles area. The estate lists its address as 2007 Morris Drive, Niles, MI 49120, and its phone as 269-684-4443. A 2018 local news story gave the address as 1997 Morris Drive, so confirm the street number when you book. Email goes to discover@themorrisestate.com.
The estate calls itself a luxury bed and breakfast with private suites at The River House and cabins across about 600 acres. The estate website also lists riverside views of the St. Joseph River, a wedding chapel, event venues, and fine dining with American fare and European influences. The website does not list check-in or check-out times, so ask when you reserve.
The Leader Publications reported the grand opening on March 15, 2018. The story says Braden and Amber Janowski bought the land in 2010. The River House holds six bedrooms, and the Red Horse Inn adds one more. The estate began with E. M. Morris, a businessman known for tree planting and local giving. Historic buildings on the grounds include a wedding chapel, a schoolhouse, and a covered bridge. Hiking trails, kayaking, biking, and a game room round out the list.
An Expedia listing also shows a Blacksmith Lodge at the Morris Estate. We could not confirm the lodge on the estate website, so ask whether the lodge takes guests.
Pick the Morris Estate for a couples trip, a small group, or a game weekend where the setting matters more than a brand.
The 3R Bed and Breakfast: Unconfirmed
The old version of this guide listed The 3R, a large rental home. The home still appears on booking and vacation rental sites, but we found only listing sites and no official page. We list the property as unconfirmed.
One listing describes a converted elementary school in the Prairie School style on about five acres. The same listing counts 4 bedrooms and room for 14 guests, with a gym, a movie theater, a game room, a sauna, and a hot tub. Another listing title says the home can sleep up to 45. The two numbers disagree.
The listing sets check-in at 4:00 PM, check-out at 11:00 AM, a minimum age of 21, and no pets. The old guide claimed an indoor pool, and we found no source for a pool. Call or message the host, ask for the exact sleeping count, and confirm the house rules before you pay.
Closed Landmarks: Niles Inn and the Four Flags Hotel
Some older travel pages still point to two Niles lodging landmarks. Neither takes guests now.
The Niles Inn and Conference Center opened in 1969 with 128 rooms. The Leader Publications reports the building closed in September 2016 after falling into disrepair. Crews began demolition on February 10, 2022. A development company planned three commercial buildings for the site, including an urgent care center.
The Four Flags Hotel stands at 404 East Main Street. The city lists the Four Flags Hotel as a historic site at Fourth and Main Streets. A state historical marker says the hotel opened on July 6, 1926, and carries the name of the four nations who ruled the area, France, Great Britain, Spain, and the United States. The marker page reports the building now holds efficiency apartments. We found one source for the conversion, so call before you assume the building takes overnight guests. You can still walk past the building and read the marker.
Where Else to Look: Hotels Near Niles in South Bend and Southwest Michigan
The Niles list stays short, so many visitors book nearby. Visit Southwest Michigan says more than 25 hotels operate in Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, and Stevensville. The Hilton site also lists Hilton properties in South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Stevensville, and Saint Joseph, from 7 to 19 miles from Niles.
Game weekends fill rooms quickly. The Morris Estate website mentions Notre Dame fans on game weekends, and a 2018 news story repeats the point. Book early, and widen your search to South Bend if the Niles hotels show full.
Visit Southwest Michigan runs a booking page and a visitor line at 269-925-6301. Their office stands at 321 Main Street in St. Joseph.
Things to Do Near Your Niles Hotel
