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.

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.
