10/10 Exceptional

One night stay

One night stay, we didn't need much. Breakfast is a bit of a let down, more like a lite snack.
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Im fixing up a home on Hamlin Lake and needed a place to stay relatively close by and chose the Ventura Motel. Great stay, friendly atmosphere, great accommodations, clean, good bed. Great Stay!

Please update property

This hotel is not supposed to be five star, but it could use an update….for example, the stairs to the second floor, could use a fresh coat of paint, there was paint flacking and chipping off the steps….the fitted sheet doesn’t fit the mattress. Found a used can behind microwave….but, it was quite, which is important to me…the room was spacious in size.

Ventura Motel - yikes!

We were told on arrival that they had NOT been paid for the night even though I had the receipt in my hand. I had to contact hotels.com to correct the situation, but even then, they continued to claim they were not paid. We had to deal with the manager at least 3 times before the problem was resolved (we think - because we were never informed that it had been).
Lynn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The carpet was very very dirty. Front door very dirty. Just dirty overall. We had to pray that our sheets were okay.

10/10 Exceptional

The owners of this property are absolutely amazing and understanding. I worked a 24hr shift and drove 4 hrs to Ludington to watch my son play in a basketball tournament. They were very helpful in getting me a room early so i could catch some sleep before game #2 and even though the rooms arent fancy sleep, shower and staff were exactly what we needed. And only a few blocks to walk to beach. Highly recommend

Tired old motel in a great location

It was fine for an overnight but I wouldn’t come back. The positives: relatively good price for a great location - easy walk to downtown and beach - and the towels were thick. So so: bed was fine and clean, they had a few to go breakfast items (yogurt and sticky buns, coffee and sunny D). Negatives: it’s an older hotel that doesn’t look well kept or super clean inside or out. The fixtures, furniture, and decor were old. Not “cute vintage” old but just old old. Owners were okay, not rude or particularly friendly, said no to checking out 1 hour late. I’d bite the bullet and spend more on a nicer place next time.

Nice place with affordable price.
Neal, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The office person was very unfriendly. But the room had everything we needed. Nothing fancy but clean. The cleaning lady was very friendly and helpful. There was no coffee in the lobby or breakfast to go as advertised.
