Are you sure you want to be in the hospitality business? Consider using a steam cleaner, power washer bleach carpet cleaner some elbow grease and a can of paint. Deep cleaning your rooms would be a major improvement. You have a fantastic location & a beautiful fresh water lake. Now you just need a clean motel.

We were very glad it was within walkable distance however when we got there the room was 78. The air conditioner did cool it eventually. The brochure stated conditional breakfast was included yet they did NOT offer it. We were told as of Labor Day it was discontinued. Desk man stated it was my fault for incorrect info because I booked it thru Hotels.com but I CALLED the motel personally before I booked it thru hotels.com and was told breakfast was included. I deserve better than that! There were also spider webs and flies on the floor and ceiling. Welcome to Ludington.

Uniquely classic 50s. Loved the old fashioned bathroom- so much like the home I grew up in. Two blocks from waterfront!! Closest neighbor a city park. Even a screen door. Price unbeatable. I don't particularly like cold, sterile modern (or fancy) hotels. Ventura was super clean, accessible and classic.

Whatever you are going to pay for this room is not a deal. Neighbors, whom I believe live there, were noisy late into the night outside our door. Janky parking. Room smelled horrible. Cobwebs, dead bugs on the walls, mystery stains...... Just gross. I would not have stayed if my husband hadn't been with me, felt unsafe. I took photos of the bugs and stains and cobwebs, but the app won't let me post them.

Very unfriendly welcome upon arrival. Desk clerk heavily emphasized the consequences of damage to the room, as if he were expecting we had destructive plans, and was very annoyed when asked for details about turning in the key Room was clean, functional. and quiet. Advertised breakfast was a complete failure Just four bagels, two yogurts, and orange juice were available when we were the first ones in for breakfast in the morning. Upon inspection all the bagels were moldy. When a new package of five bagels were brought out, these were all moldy, too, and that was all they had, so no breakfast.
