Mayby things will be better next time?
We stayed one night this time. We were in the area a few nights again this trip like we were in 2021. This time we were not as impressed. In 2021 the place needed some updates and this has taken place but this time we were in room 155. The rate was the same, we were surprised about this. However, I guess they had not used the room in sometime. The room was dusty. The jetted tub would not come on without messing with the button for 5-10 minutes. The TV seemed to be going out. The picture was blurry, and the colors were off. Of course, no one was at the front desk to address the concerns at check out. I just dropped the key and left.

Great place to stay in Ludington
Clean, comfortable, Mom&Pop motel. Motel is older, but well maintained. Bathroom was small, but appreciated that sink area is separate from tub and toilet room. Great shower pressure. Outside sitting areas around the pool and separate gazebo area were welcome places to rest after a day of golf at beautiful Hemlock Golf Club or hiking in nearby Nordhouse Dunes recreation area.
Will definitely stay here again on our next trip through.
