What a great find, nicely presented and clean motel with updated rooms that are spacious and super clean. Staff were all polite and friendly, the pool looked clean with an inviting poolside area. Despite being next to a busy road it was quiet and secure at night. |We had a room with a king bed and a whirlpool tub, the bed was clean and comfortable with nice quality sheets. We did use the whirlpool and it was also spotlessly clean and maintained.|Rooms have a fridge and a small microwave along with a single serve coffee pot. One very nice thing was a table and 2 chairs, we arrived late and grabbed a pizza on the way in, it was nice to have somewhere to sit and eat. |Will definitely stay again

Went there and got the room for the hot tub since we were doing a motorcycle loop around the lake. Checked in went to the room. Someone was parked in my spot figured no big deal. Went in and the wife always does a bed check first thing for bedbugs. Didn’t even have to pull the covers back as there was one right on top. We grabbed our bag and went right to the front office for a refund. They said we had to work with the booking agency. So we did and they said the inn had to approve the refund which they refused. Multiple times. Wasn’t even in the room for 3min and it cost me over $177 they refused to refund. I would stay anywhere else but here in this town

We found the room to be clean and comfortable and equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave. It also had a table and chairs to sit and enjoy a meal or play a game. The grounds were bright and cheerful with a gazebo, swimming pool and lots of beautiful spring flowers. The hairdryer was not working in my room, but they instantly gave me a new one. I definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice, family owned business. Good service at the front desk. Rooms were pretty and clean. Plenty of towels. Good space. Pool and hot tub are very nice. Breakfast is good grab and go. Overall really good choice for our family.

Our room was fairly clean, however there were some stains on the walls, dead bugs in the shower pan and the carpeting showed signs of a dirt path. There was also a large gap (3/8"-1/2" wide) along the lower side edge of our motel room door. The beds were firm and extremely low to the floor with the top of the mattress coming up just below your knees. The bathroom toilet/sink area was compact and the shower stall itself was probably smaller than the ones found in most campers. Our window type a/c unit was a little loud but kept our room cool. The pool and hot tub were clean. Coffee, juice and small breakfast snacks were available in the motel office. Motel was located a little too far away to walk to town.

We always stay at this motel in the off season and sometimes during the summer if we don’t camp. Great service, very accommodating and clean rooms . Motel is older but always have been clean. Prices are always decent even if it’s not in walking distance it’s a great place to stay, 5 mins or less to the beach.

Under new management, we were pretty disappointed. The mattresses were not comfortable and the coffee was not drinkable. Good thing Wesco is pretty close! And the smell of Indian cuisine was ever present. Also, the guest wifi signal did not reach our room, so obviously the password they provided didn't help. On the plus side, rooms were clean, and the staff was pleasant.

Clean, comfortable rooms and efficient room service. Office has a breakfast of coffee, toast, o.j., mini muffins and yogurt.

absolutely hate places that block access to the TV functions. impossible to change the input so you're stuck with cable don't waste your time trying to bypass it. annoying and disappointing. room nice otherwise.

The 80's is missing a hotel room! Lol, ok I'm exaggerating!  A Decent sized room and an actually quite large bathroom. It has a prefab Tub Shower combo, that only goes up about 6', so the normal. There's a desk and small table in the main room. Plus a normal sized hotel room TV. Room also includes a mini fridge! However there's no Microwave. The bed is stiff! My back didn't love it, but I slept decent. There's my normal complaint of hotels, the blackout curtain isn't very good. There's a pool and hot tub outside. So depends on the weather! They have a sign in room that says at this time housekeeping doesn't clean your room during stay, unless you request it. Therefore I didn't put up no disturb sign. However I returned to my room to find it cleaned up! This quite frankly annoys the hell out of me and will affect my ranking! Overall a 3 star review. Would I return? Maybe. First I'd check out other hotels, if they were priced the same I'd try somewhere else first. Also not important, but the key into the room is larger than most by far, weird!

This is a delightful, old school, Mom & Pop motel like your grandma and grandpa stayed in when they traveled. In those days, places like this were the norm and there were lots of them. With the advent of the big chains, these places are vanishing. Not the Viking Arms, though. It is attractive, clean, and when you pull into the parking lot, you know you're in the right place! Old school? You bet - a large brass key for your room and not a plastic key card. There is a pool, whirlpool, a gazebo, and a grassy, park-like center of the J-shape property. The room is a bit smallish (that's the way motels were built back in the day) but comfortable. There is a comfortable bathroom (I had a walk-in shower in my room) and a television. There are no appliances. I had a comfortable bed, and the night stand has a unique alarm clock that features a dimmer (I HATE bright alarm clocks at night!) two power outlets, and two USB ports. There is WiFi, you'll be given a password at check-in. During Covid-19, there is no breakfast bar but there is fresh coffee that is pretty good. A vending machine and ice maker were steps from my room. The property is located on US10, not far from downtown and the dock of the SS Badger. I would gladly stay here again and I recommend it, especially if you are traveling in or out on the SS Badger. Hats off to David & Dawn Bourgette, your hosts.

The room was very clean and the decor was very new. This motel will definitely be our " stay at" hotel whenever we are in the area.

They stole money from me. I drove all night from the U.P before ending up in Ludington. I booked a middle of the night room off a third party site.

My wife and I were in town from Ohio for our anniversary and happened to stop in to check for vacancy's. I'm glad we did. First impression of the landscape and lobby/office was that the owner took great pride in their establishment and took the pandemic seriously. The owner was very pleasant and welcoming. The room was honestly one of the cleanest hotel rooms we've been in for a while, and we typically stay in higher end hotels. Not recently updated and painted clean, but clean like they care about it's cleanliness. The room was quiet and even had a gas fireplace; which was a nice touch. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in town. Thanks for the great experience!

Nicely kept place. Good central location for shopping, dining and sightseeing. Desk staff is super nice & there for whatever you need. The King Suite has a gas fireplace & hot tub that were welcome after our long motorcycle ride here. Though the paper in the room says the fireplace isnt a source of heat & only for ambience, it got EXTRA toasty in the room & we had to turn it off & turn the air on. Will be perfect for a chilly, fall or winter evening! I would highly reccomend staying here. I would definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

Clean and comfortable room. Not a ton of amenities offered, but you know that going in. If you are looking for a nice place without a lot of extras, this is for you.

cost was 90.00 on a Sunday evening. Small room. No microwave. Rude people. I travel a lot and this is the pits for the high cost Especially since it's off season. I don't even want to know what they charge in the summer months. Will definitely not be back. That's probably why no one is here

Very clean and welcoming. Only problem was the sheets were too small for the bed and the bottom sheet came off both nights. Very nice pool!

This was a last-minute reservation booked because of a recommendation from someone on the ferry across Lake Michigan. Nothing fancy, but clean, good mattresses, and everything we needed. Price was very good, too--bonus!

We were able to find a room at the last minute when everywhere else was booked. So glad it was because our stay was wonderful! Exceptionally clean, friendly owner, and very accommodating. Would definitely go back.

Stayed in Luddington and loved this place. Kids loved the outdoor heated pool we loved the hot tub. They also have a nice gazebo to relax under. Rooms are nice, staff is friendly!

Great place...it starts when you pull in nice parking lot, lines all freshly painted with room numbers in them...then you go inside to check in and the gentleman inside who i assume is the owner had a great personality and told me where I can go and get a meal and cold beer (and he was correct), after chatting for a bit I got to my room and it is absolutely spotless...I travel a bit as does my wife and we have never seen a "makeup" towel, and I like that they have a hook in the shower for your swim suit (nice pool by the way also..I did not swim though)...these fine folks do something not many people do anymore....attention to detail!! I will stay there every time I go through there. Nicely done folks. Whats with the 2 star motel on travelocity....I stayed at a $250 hotel in memphis recently and it was NO BETTER.
