Walk to the beach
The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, with pool towels provided. If looking for a hotel close to the beach this is the perfect location. The beach is visible from the hotel and an easy short walk.

Ludington Pier.
Bed was okay as long as you avoided the lump in the middle of the bed. Bathroom light over the sink was out, the light over head was very dim. Had to use light in by the door to see.Parking was not convient to the room.

The Ludington Pier House hit all of those buttons that are desired for a good night’s stay. Easy to get too, Easy check-in, nice room; which met our needs and expectations. We found that the Pier House was quite convenient for the next leg of our journey, a ferry across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin. Our hats off to the Pier House team.
