Zero frills, you-get-what-you-pay-for kind of roadside motel. Was clearly undergoing some major renovations when we visited at the end of the off-season. Owner was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

Great location

This is a great location to stay at when going to the Silver Lake Off-road park. it is only 30 min from the park, and a few minutes to downtown Ludington. They have great trailer parking, and good prices. The pool was very nice. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

They were doing some renovations on the property. The pool was very nice with a spa. One bad thing was the refrigerator would not freeze my ice packs.

The people at the Nova were extremely nice and accommodating. They were booked and made room for us. Clean room with new flooring, offered beach towels for the pool instead of just standard size and had fresh coffee ready at 6 am- great little place- will stay again!!

The exterior is rough due to age, but the room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff very friendly and allowed early check-in. Important to know that the room is basic. No frills but the price is right for the area and season.

Not real impressed but it was the cheapest place that i found. Very basic and mostly outdated but the bed was fairly comfortable.

We stopped for a night at the motel before staying at the state park. Really did love the motel, rooms, bedding, towels were all nice and clean. We didn’t use the pool but it also looked clean and well kept. There was fresh coffee and muffins in the office in the morning. I was able to park my camper in a lot behind the motel. Not far from town and close to a Dairy Queen :)

Cute

An older motel. Rustic and dated but nice. Bed was very comfortable. I slept great. Lits of seating outside each room. Quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay. Cleaning could be a bit more thorough.

Property owner was friendly and prompt with requests. Room was clean and neat, carpet appeared new. Bed was comfortable. I did not use the pool or hot tub, but both appeared clean and inviting. Hotel is older. Room air a little stale.

My stay was quiet and comfortable. The gentleman on duty the next morning saw I was having trouble with getting my friend out in to my cast.He came over and help me. He was very kind and concern for us.

The staff at the motel are friendly. The rooms have new carpet, and the room I stayed in had a newer, very comfortable bed. The bathroom is dated. The small shower leaves a lot to be desired. The steaming hot and freezing cold water in the shower, does not help.

10/10 Exceptional

I like that it is reminiscent of days gone by before all the big chain hotels started taking over. It was a very warm and relaxed feel to the room. I flew solo so I didn’t use the jacuzzi tub for two but I’m sure that would be a nice add-on for a couple “kids” in love, no matter what your age. 😄

4/10 Fair

The staff were very kind. At first the room we gotten was super small and had no bath tub so they ended up moving us to a bigger room and it was super messy the floors were gross there was food splattered on the nightstand and in microwave from previous people. There was also mold growing on the shower curtain.

The Air Conditioning and WIFI didn’t work well. The room felt humid and musty. The curtain rod fell off the wall. The man at the front desk was very kind and friendly though.

4/10 Fair

Liked-Close to the marina. Disliked-tub/shower felt like it would fall apart. Beds were uncomfortable & cheaply made. (basic mattress on some plywood) Television only got a few channels. Cheap price=cheap room. Will not stay there again.
