Not a fan. So overpriced. Inflexible cancellation policy. If you cancel less than 14 days before,…read moreyou are charged a night's stay ($205.85 for the nights I stayed there!). Even if you cancel 2 months before--you would still be charged $50. On the two nights I was there they did not fill all the rooms (and there are only 7 rooms) so I definitely wouldn't suggest booking in advance. Why risk a schedule change arising & you losing money? There are other hotels in Ludington that allow you to not pay a cent until you arrive--no charge if you need to cancel. Here is the thing that really got me. I made a reservation back in April for a stay in July. I requested Room 6 or 7 & said I would prefer an end room if available. I also shared that it was a rough trip for me because it was my first trip after my husband passed away & I was coming alone to visit our favorite place. She not only emailed me but also called me & said that she was going to be able to give me the end room, number 7. She also said she would keep in mind the information I had shared with her about the loss of my husband. I had no idea what that meant. Extra TLC perhaps? Another thing the reservation had stated was that there was "Early check-in available on request." & "Late check-out available on request." Well, I emailed regarding both & got no response. I had wanted to perhaps drop off my luggage early so it wouldn't be in the back of my vehicle when it was parked and i was walking around town. When I arrived in July I was taken aback at the lack of attention to detail. First of all, no one was at the desk--you have to pick up a cell phone & call a number and wait for them to come over from the house. And when she ambled down she said to me, "You are in Room 5." I said, "No, I am in Room 7. You promised me the end room." She said, "Yeah, sorry. There is a glitch in the system. I gave it to someone else." (A glitch in the system--there are only SEVEN rooms--write stuff down!) She made no mention of my newly widowed state--& the solution to the problem--she offered me a bigger room (?) I said, "No. The last thing I want is a bigger room--I am here ALONE. If you want to charge me less because you weren't able to honor what you promised me, I'll be okay with that." And what was really frustrating was that I had had a booking come up for my second date there, a job, but I turned it down because I didn't want to lose my deposit on the room--THAT SHE ENDED UP GIVING TO SOMEONE ELSE. She did back down and ended up giving me the room she had promised. So then she gave me a sheet of paper with the room code--she let me into the room. I was not impressed with it--but as soon as I got my stuff into the room I thought to myself--I better make sure I am able to get back into the room--because she just struck me as absent minded. I shut the door and tried the code over and over. You probably guessed it by now--she had given me the wrong code. So I went back to the office and called again--from the cell phone sitting on the desk--no one in the office--and was given the correct code over the phone--with no apology. Then, because I was exhausted and had a bit of work to do--I decided to make myself a pot of coffee--I looked at the coffee maker and was disgusted--there was a ton of dust on it--and as I looked around--I realized the whole place looked like it hadn't been dusted--so back off to the office I went--called the cell phone again sitting on the desk--no one in the office--and got one of them to bring me a cloth and cleaner--and yes, I cleaned my own room. The carpet was dirty too--my socks and slippers became black from walking on it. Another thing of note was this is the first time I had ever been in a hotel room that did not have a place for you to sit & have a meal or sit to work at your computer--no small table and chair(s). In order to use my computer I had to pull a rocking chair up to a recliner--I had to sit on the rocking chair & hunch over the recliner with my computer on that. It forced me to sit in a position that killed my back. When I arrived in the room it was HOT. The windows were open--I needed to immediately shut them and get the air conditioning on. They were SO hard to shut. It took me a long time & a lot of effort. The view out the back window was onto an alley with garbage cans & there were spider webs in the window. The view out the front window is the parking lot. The bathroom was so tiny and the shower the smallest I had ever encountered--and I am tiny--5'7" 125 lbs.--It was like showering in a box--just awful. In the pictures on their website there are billowy country style curtains on the windows. In my room there were plain white shades on one window and a single white drape on the other. There are many other choices for hotels in the area with better views, cleaner rooms, better furnished rooms, more reasonable prices, less absent minded hosts and much better cancellation policies. I would choose one of those for your stay.

This was our second year staying at Ludington Beach House, and that really says something because…read morewe actually found this place completely on a whim last year. We loved it so much that when we decided we had to come back to Ludington, we worked the cost into our budget specifically so we could stay here again. Ludington stole our hearts, and this place has become part of the experience for us. The location is absolutely spectacular. You're directly across the street from the beach and lighthouse access, and you can walk into town in about 10-20 minutes for ice cream, snacks, shopping, restaurants, and all the cute little things that make Ludington such a fun beach town. You're also right near the harbor. We hardly needed our car once we arrived. I really love the amenities here because they aren't trying to be over-the-top. Everything is simple, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. There's a pool that goes all the way to 9 feet deep, with a rope separating the deep and shallow areas. I love spending time out there, and there are plenty of tables and lounge chairs. They even provide pool towels, which is such a nice touch. Our room was small, but it was very thoughtfully laid out. We had a comfortable queen-size bed, a little table with two chairs, Wi-Fi, a microwave, and a mini fridge WITH an actual freezer. I know that sounds like such a small thing, but having a real little freezer is incredibly convenient when you're traveling! I also really appreciate the little details. There are cute retro coasters, a little guide with information about the property and Ludington, coffee with flavored creamers, and really nice bathroom products. The body wash smelled SO good. The linens deserve some credit too. There's nothing fancy about them, but the sheets are white, clean, crisp cotton, and the towels are nice and thick. They even provide a makeup towel, which I always appreciate. There's also a spot where you can grab an extra towel or blanket yourself whenever you need one. I LOVE this. Nobody wants to have to call the front desk because they need an extra washcloth or towel. It's just one more little thing that makes staying here easy. And because you're staying directly by the beach, I love that they have a broom available too. There is ALWAYS going to be sand when you stay at a beach, so having a way to sweep it up is just practical and thoughtful. Even though there are quite a few units, I've found it to be surprisingly quiet. The staff has also always been incredibly kind and accommodating. You get one parking space per unit, which has never been an issue for us. I'm not sure what the arrangement would be if you needed additional parking, but for the two of us it has been perfect. The only minor complaint I could possibly make is that the room does feel a little humid at times. However, the air conditioner worked absolutely fabulously, so we were never uncomfortable or too hot. This isn't a luxury resort, and the rooms aren't huge or fancy. That's not what makes this place special. It's the location, the cleanliness, the thoughtful little touches, the pool, the friendly staff, and the fact that it makes being in Ludington so easy. It feels simple, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. We loved it enough to come back for a second year, and I have a feeling we'll be back again.

Right across the street from the public beach, pier -- yet quiet at night. We walked down to see fishermen catch salmon while the sun set. Played cornhole before dinner. Open windows allowed for a crisp cross breeze in our room. A pretty vinyl floor made for easy cleaning of sand tracked in from the beach. Not fancy. Just a step back in time that enhanced our whole trip. On a side note, we were able to use an AirBnB gift card at the hotel.

But, someone came quickly once I rang the bell as the sign told me to, and we were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room was small but clean. The bathroom had been recently refurbished, though the tub drained slowly. Bed was comfy and while the heater was loud it kept us toasty on a chilly October night. My main complaint would be the lighting. The switch by the door turns on a small light over the table. There are lamps you turn on by hand on the chest of drawers and over the bed, but no light over or near the sink outside the bathroom. Not really convenient if you need to shave. Not a bad place if you need to stop for the night (and by morning the parking lot was no longer empty), though if I were here longer I'd probably look for someplace with larger rooms and a few more conveniences.
