8/10 Good

Very friendly staff. Did not like that there was no way to darken the room at night.
Roxanne, 2-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.
Rhonda, 1-night trip

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
Tim, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly and clean. Thought price was too high until I checked on other places!
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Needs new mattress. Very lumpy and too soft.
Rosie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
andrew, 1-night trip

Bobbie, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Had an issue with the room that the staff and owner did not address.
Dapple, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

No hot water. Owner promised to refund half of charge for the room for this MAJOR INCONVENIENCE and never followed through. Poor lighting. Dirty carpeting in room. Very disappointed. Room felt dingy and dark.
Olga, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

No hot water. The deadbolt didn't work. TV did work well.
Charlene, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Mediocre

Stayed 2 nights. The room smelled musty, probably from the carpet. The bed was okay, but tlit was like the memory foam topper was covering a bad mattress.
