My opinion of hotels has changed since I started working for Hilton Worldwide in June. Hilton holds…read moreall of its brands to a high caliber of quality and service, so staying anywhere else (for me) is a tough situation. Until September 10, 2016. I was hired to DJ a wedding at the Stearns. But given that the area didn't have a lot of choices for quality lodging, I accepted my fate and booked a room for the night. I was impressed with the history of the hotel. It's been around since the 1800s and most of the original wood and architecture is in tact. Talk with the front desk and have them tell you the story of this Stearns fella who built the place. Pretty rich history here. I didn't interact much with the staff except for the front desk folks. They were very friendly and knew a ton about the area and the hotel. I was there a bit earlier than normal checking because of my role with the wedding, so my room wasn't ready that early; however, they were super willing to get it ready for me early. We just had to wait on the precious guest to check out. So that was cool. It was a reasonably priced and very clean room. Pretty spacious for a queen bed, mini fridge, and microwave. The hotel is within walking distance to everything Ludington has to offer and sits across the street from a historical building with a clock tower remnant of Back to the Future. My favorite part of this hotel, though, was the tiki bar located downstairs and away from the rooms. It felt like everybody in town was there. The crowd was great, the drinks were reasonable, and the music was my cup of tea. Remember, this is a picky DJ who's seen his share of parties. Thank you Stearns for a comfortable stay, an amazing reception venue, and an exciting after party!

Very dated "hotel" if we can call it a hotel. I mean, it has a significance to the property to…read moreremain old, untouched and I can respect that. BUT the paint is chipping, I can whisper and the neighbors hear next door, the rooms are overwhelmingly small. I feel like an gorilla in such a tiny spot. Bathroom toilet takes forever to circle around the bowl. The tv is quite small with not a lot of channels but that doesn't take away from my experience compared to the others. I think there needs to be free breakfast for the prices they charge especially in a downtown area. I think in a downtown area with many choices for hotels, motels, inns, b&b's this could be better and I hope it can remain respectful to the old but revamp it a little bit

Our rental had a water-softener leak and flooded 5 days before our arrival. The damage was so severe, the front door needed to be replaced (non-standard size). Because this was peak season, there were no other rentals available. Angie managed to get us three hotel rooms until our rental house was ready. Unfortunately, the hotel was 40 minutes from Platte Lake where our Michigan relatives were - but at least we had a place to sleep. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If we had been able to get in the house sooner, the vacation would have been perfect - especially since my husn=band and oldest son reeled in two big salmon - yummo!

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.
