The bathroom was a little snug but not to uncommon for the era this place was built. One of the best things was the ability to open the windows and get fresh air into the room, had a newer flat screen TV with lots of good channel selections and the WIFi worked great.

I'm ashamed to say that I usually shy away from lodging that has the word "motel" in it, and prefer…read moreto stay at places that have the word "hotel" in it. But Nader's also has the word "suites" in its name, so that appeased my snobby side enough to take a chance on this place. And I'm glad I did! If only all motels were like this one. First of all, Nader's offers suites, which come with full kitchens: a stove/oven, full refrigerator, silverware and dishes, a kitchen sink, a living room that transforms into a pull-out bed, and a little kitchen table. There are two TVs in the suites, plus two full-sized beds. It's all very tidy and nice for families, because you have so many comforts of home. The one thing that wasn't my favorite about the suite is that there isn't a bathroom sink. You have to use the kitchen sink for everything. Which I'm sure most people don't care about, so your mileage may vary. But the rest of the hotel amenities offset that minor inconvenience. Things like the Adirondack chairs that circle around a big fire pit that's lit in the evenings. The free bikes that you can just pick up and ride around Ludington. The basketball court and little area with corn hole, shuffle board and giant Connect Four. The outdoor pool (that's heated, but not warm). The free wifi and free parking. The location -- oh man, the location! You're literally a four-minute walk from the beach. All of these things make Nader's a great place to stay for families. And other families must agree, because we saw lots of them during our stay.

I was traveling with 2 small dogs and got very lucky that they're dog friendly. Call and check to make sure they still are though, the owner told me when I checked out that they may not be dog friendly for much longer. I could tell the owner is a big time dog lover but understand her possible future decision to not take dogs anymore, can never tell how responsible of a dog owner one is or how behaved one dog is to the next. Great experience! So glad to have found this gem!!!

Not a fan. So overpriced. Inflexible cancellation policy. If you cancel less than 14 days before,…read moreyou are charged a night's stay ($205.85 for the nights I stayed there!). Even if you cancel 2 months before--you would still be charged $50. On the two nights I was there they did not fill all the rooms (and there are only 7 rooms) so I definitely wouldn't suggest booking in advance. Why risk a schedule change arising & you losing money? There are other hotels in Ludington that allow you to not pay a cent until you arrive--no charge if you need to cancel. Here is the thing that really got me. I made a reservation back in April for a stay in July. I requested Room 6 or 7 & said I would prefer an end room if available. I also shared that it was a rough trip for me because it was my first trip after my husband passed away & I was coming alone to visit our favorite place. She not only emailed me but also called me & said that she was going to be able to give me the end room, number 7. She also said she would keep in mind the information I had shared with her about the loss of my husband. I had no idea what that meant. Extra TLC perhaps? Another thing the reservation had stated was that there was "Early check-in available on request." & "Late check-out available on request." Well, I emailed regarding both & got no response. I had wanted to perhaps drop off my luggage early so it wouldn't be in the back of my vehicle when it was parked and i was walking around town. When I arrived in July I was taken aback at the lack of attention to detail. First of all, no one was at the desk--you have to pick up a cell phone & call a number and wait for them to come over from the house. And when she ambled down she said to me, "You are in Room 5." I said, "No, I am in Room 7. You promised me the end room." She said, "Yeah, sorry. There is a glitch in the system. I gave it to someone else." (A glitch in the system--there are only SEVEN rooms--write stuff down!) She made no mention of my newly widowed state--& the solution to the problem--she offered me a bigger room (?) I said, "No. The last thing I want is a bigger room--I am here ALONE. If you want to charge me less because you weren't able to honor what you promised me, I'll be okay with that." And what was really frustrating was that I had had a booking come up for my second date there, a job, but I turned it down because I didn't want to lose my deposit on the room--THAT SHE ENDED UP GIVING TO SOMEONE ELSE. She did back down and ended up giving me the room she had promised. So then she gave me a sheet of paper with the room code--she let me into the room. I was not impressed with it--but as soon as I got my stuff into the room I thought to myself--I better make sure I am able to get back into the room--because she just struck me as absent minded. I shut the door and tried the code over and over. You probably guessed it by now--she had given me the wrong code. So I went back to the office and called again--from the cell phone sitting on the desk--no one in the office--and was given the correct code over the phone--with no apology. Then, because I was exhausted and had a bit of work to do--I decided to make myself a pot of coffee--I looked at the coffee maker and was disgusted--there was a ton of dust on it--and as I looked around--I realized the whole place looked like it hadn't been dusted--so back off to the office I went--called the cell phone again sitting on the desk--no one in the office--and got one of them to bring me a cloth and cleaner--and yes, I cleaned my own room. The carpet was dirty too--my socks and slippers became black from walking on it. Another thing of note was this is the first time I had ever been in a hotel room that did not have a place for you to sit & have a meal or sit to work at your computer--no small table and chair(s). In order to use my computer I had to pull a rocking chair up to a recliner--I had to sit on the rocking chair & hunch over the recliner with my computer on that. It forced me to sit in a position that killed my back. When I arrived in the room it was HOT. The windows were open--I needed to immediately shut them and get the air conditioning on. They were SO hard to shut. It took me a long time & a lot of effort. The view out the back window was onto an alley with garbage cans & there were spider webs in the window. The view out the front window is the parking lot. The bathroom was so tiny and the shower the smallest I had ever encountered--and I am tiny--5'7" 125 lbs.--It was like showering in a box--just awful. In the pictures on their website there are billowy country style curtains on the windows. In my room there were plain white shades on one window and a single white drape on the other. There are many other choices for hotels in the area with better views, cleaner rooms, better furnished rooms, more reasonable prices, less absent minded hosts and much better cancellation policies. I would choose one of those for your stay.
