Facility was average overall. Outside around buildings was excellent. Room was average at best. Remodeling needed. Room furniture was cheap and not very usable. Not very flexible for the breakfast provided. Had to have a reservation for the breakfast that was included and make your limited breakfast selection a day in advance. Food was fine though.

Stay @SI in any season
Great customer service! Traveling and needed a place to stay near the SS Badger as part of a longer road trip. Received a call alerting us of the office closing time 9pm CST, how to access room with easy late check-in, and to take our breakfast order. Room was quite cozy and met our basic needs for brief stay. Breakfast was delish, and SI was only minutes away from the dock. Will look to rebook when back in Ludington! (Also recommend eating lunch at The Wharf when docking in Manitowoc)

We booked this property based on reviews from past customers. We were not disappointed. It is such a delightful, small property. I am rating this 4 stars for a couple of reasons. The bathroom was small and I was not able to reach the shower head to suit my short stature, making it difficult to get some areas rinsed. Also, due to the location of the shelf in the bathroom, I was not able to plug in and use my own hairdryer. The people close to our room seemed to congregate outside of our door. This resulted in not being able to sleep until they decided to break their party up and move along. Not the fault of the management but more the lack of common sense of the other guests.
Overall, this is a beautiful little place.

This is a lovely older roadside motel wonderfully remodeled. Very clean, bed and linens were super comfy. Outdoor gathering space was beautiful with a new deck, pond with koi fish, and also an indoor common area for reading. I would definitely stay again.
