We stayed for 3 nights, there was no housekeeping at all, we had to take the trash out and go ask for toilet paper, as they didn’t even leave extra roll in the bathroom, the motel is very outdated, sheets and towels are clean but blankets had so many stain spots, the 3 stars was for the motel location.

Tired old motel in a great location

It was fine for an overnight but I wouldn’t come back. The positives: relatively good price for a great location - easy walk to downtown and beach - and the towels were thick. So so: bed was fine and clean, they had a few to go breakfast items (yogurt and sticky buns, coffee and sunny D). Negatives: it’s an older hotel that doesn’t look well kept or super clean inside or out. The fixtures, furniture, and decor were old. Not “cute vintage” old but just old old. Owners were okay, not rude or particularly friendly, said no to checking out 1 hour late. I’d bite the bullet and spend more on a nicer place next time.

The Ventura is located relatively close to the Ludington Stearns Park beach and Badger Car Ferry docks. The rooms themselves are quite dated and bathroom is small and lacks a vent fan. This lodging option gets the job done but isn't a bargain by any means. There is a modest cold continental breakfast provided. It was fine for me and my traveling partner but was really just four walls and some beds.

Location, location. This is a very old motel that is one block from the beach and one block for town in the other direction. We were in room 26 and both beds were very, very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, with plenty of towels. The only thing I would change would be the old carpeting. They felt damp to your feet but they weren’t. Tile or faux wood floors would make this place a perfect 10.
