Very amazing place. Would highly recommend if you want the traditional motel vibe. We love it, and would definitely come back!
Aidan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice room. Clean and comfortable. This is an older motel, but very well maintained by a staff that obviously cares. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in TVC.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Easy access, motel, close to Ludington, easy drive to the lake. Televisions are very small and access to channels that loaded very slowly,was difficult. Property was clean, could have enjoyed a seating area somewhere outside of the room.

10/10 Excellent

Great value
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The young ladies that manage the property do a wonderful job. It’s very clean. The only problem is the lights that shine into the room are a bit too bright at night

Staff went over and above what was anticipated.
Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was well kept and clean. The staff was courteous and prompt. And, the sign out front stated that imaginary friends stay free. That was a relief because we each have one.
