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)

I loved the home type feeling of this place and was so nice and calm. I was really looking forward to the homemade breakfast. The idea of having the quiche was somewhat I was looking forward too. However, the option to not be able to remove an item such as broccoli or tomato was not very happy about that. I would stay here again if ever in this area again.

Really beautiful landscaping (with a koi pond!) and decor, artfully lit at night, but could be more practically lit, especially at the step between the sidewalk and the parking lot. On the whole a very nice stay.

The property is a hidden gem. Love supporting small businesses which I assume this is. Price was very reasonable when including breakfast and an outside courtyard with koi pond. At first entering my room I was a little disappointed, as it takes one back to a bygone era. But everything one needs is included. The room was extremely quiet, bedding and towels were clean and comfortable. Parking is literally right outside your door, no stairs, elevators, or finding your car in a large lot. Breakfast was excellent and the staff are warm and friendly.
