This is the grossest place I have ever stayed in. I have traveled into Third World countries and stayed in the jungle and not been as disappointed in my room. I will likely have to sleep in my car tonight. The worst thing is that this place stinks. Musty and some kind of other smell I’m not going to describe. The curtains are especially gross and they had a big office clip holding them shut. The bed is weird, creaky and uncomfortable. It’s a holiday weekend and almost everything else in the town is sold out and I have a ferry to catch early in the morning so I’m not going to switch now and stay somewhere expensive.

For the price I pay per ni it was definitely worth it, check in was fast and easy, it's not a modern or fancy hotel but it's very comfortable and a 10 min walk to the beach, clean floors, carpet and bathroom too, only thing linen and towels had what looks like old stains, so we never touched them we had bring our own anyways.

Location, location. This is a very old motel that is one block from the beach and one block for town in the other direction. We were in room 26 and both beds were very, very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, with plenty of towels. The only thing I would change would be the old carpeting. They felt damp to your feet but they weren’t. Tile or faux wood floors would make this place a perfect 10.

We liked this spot due to its location, the kid who handled the check in was very nice, the bed was comfortable and it was overall very quiet. The room was very dated, the toilet was a slow flush and the bathroom sink was slow draining.

The owners of this property are absolutely amazing and understanding. I worked a 24hr shift and drove 4 hrs to Ludington to watch my son play in a basketball tournament. They were very helpful in getting me a room early so i could catch some sleep before game #2 and even though the rooms arent fancy sleep, shower and staff were exactly what we needed. And only a few blocks to walk to beach. Highly recommend
