We stopped for a night at the motel before staying at the state park. Really did love the motel, rooms, bedding, towels were all nice and clean. We didn’t use the pool but it also looked clean and well kept. There was fresh coffee and muffins in the office in the morning. I was able to park my camper in a lot behind the motel. Not far from town and close to a Dairy Queen :)

TV did not work, had to keep askingmanagement to fix it.Desk clerk refused to come help with tv. Floor was sopping wet by entrance and under air conditioner upon our arrival. Soap not replaced after room cleaned. No extra roll of toilet tissue left. Room was not as pictured as shown on website. Room looked like hadnt been updated for 20 years as opposed to updated picture shown on website. Desk clerk was rude and unwilling to help, just kept telling us to call manager but didnt give name or number who to call. This is the worst place and misrepresented place I have ever stayed. I'm going to pursue getting a refund!

Great location
This is a great location to stay at when going to the Silver Lake Off-road park. it is only 30 min from the park, and a few minutes to downtown Ludington. They have great trailer parking, and good prices. The pool was very nice. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

The exterior is rough due to age, but the room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff very friendly and allowed early check-in. Important to know that the room is basic. No frills but the price is right for the area and season.

Nice workers and clean room, but…
My husband was alone on the trip. There was not a “single usb” in the room. He also did not appreciate that there was no coffee maker or even cups in the room. He said people were smoking outside his room until 3 am, and they started up again early in the morning. The ac pulled the smoke into his room.
