Things to do in Ludington
1. Stearns Hotel
Overall Ratings
4 based on 157 reviews
Stearns Hotel was built in 1903 by Justus Stearns. We are the only historic hotel left in West Michigan. We strive to be able to give our guests that “old world charm” experience they are searching for. Located in downtown Ludington puts you in walking distance from many local bars and restaurants. We are also the closest hotel to the Ludington Car Ferry. Besides being a historic hotel, we also offer a one of a kind wedding venue on one side of the building and a Tiki bar on the other side. The Grand Ballroom is original to the building and we take pride in it being one of the most beautiful places around to hold your wedding reception or event.
Clean and pleasant “period” experience
Reviewed By cathyk433This historic hotel in downtown Ludington is a step back but very well preserved and maintained. Coffee is served in the lobby in the mornings. We had a corner room with a kitchenette area and very spacious surroundings. Guest laundry is available; and we discovered a pool table during our stay. There is no restaurant on premises but the hotel is within walking distance of many good choices, and some deliver. We did not need the beauty shop during our stay, but there is one adjacent. Friendly and gracious service! Ludington has several parks and your pick of several lighthouses to visit. The hotel also offers free parking. Our room had three generous windows and the bathroom a large privacy-frosted window - marvelous light!

Quiet oasis
Reviewed By LisaFromONMy mom and I booked a room for a stay after our trip over to Ludington on the Badger. It is just a short drive away from the dock and conveniently located in town. The gardens surrounding the hotel are beautiful, and the spot out back with the koi pond is restful and quiet. Our two double bed room was very clean and neat and cozy with all the amenities you would need. We were able to sit outside on the boardwalk just outside our room for a while on the folding chairs provided, enjoying the breeze. The plantings around the inn are beautiful and interesting for gardeners and botanists and provide a soothing backdrop to this cute little inn. The included breakfast was ready at our chosen time and was fresh and delicious. There was even cold brewed coffee available with ice and caramel to add in. The atmosphere suited my mom to a T after a tiring day of travel, and we slept well on the comfortable beds. Thanks!

Disappointing
Reviewed By 812DaniJWe have stayed at this hotel for years even when it was a Holiday Inn. It has been standing the test of time but we noticed several things last weekend that were disappointing. The room was too warm and humid despite trying to lower the thermostat. The shower nozzle must've been broken because the water came out slowly and unevenly. It was difficult to rinse the soap off. The lamp beside the bed needed a new light bulb. The pool area didn't have enough tables but countless chairs which looked odd. The vending machine didn't have bottled water. There were no bananas on the breakfast buffet. All these things made us wonder if this Comfort Inn is on the down slide. Could it be lack of good management and workers?

Reviewed By mpals804I would highly recommend staying at this Holiday Inn location. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are newly renovated and very clean, and the beds are extremely comfortable. This hotel is located minutes away from the beach, a short walk to the movie theater and Applebees, and directly across the street from a Meijer Grocery. I would highly recommend staying at this location when you are in town.

A nice little gem
Reviewed By CherylR686Really quaint property, extremely clean and convenient to downtown. It’s in close proximity of the Ludington ferry embarkation area (SS Badger). The hotel provides a nice room for a reasonable price. It’s no frills. It’s an easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants.

Will not be back, over priced and shabby
Reviewed By carla20132016We booked this hotel, two rooms, two nights and were totally disappointed! Nothing I repeat nothing like the online photos of their rooms. Our rooms were tiny, dirty, stained carpet, holes and stains on curtains, old broke down bed, tiniest shower I’ve ever seen, dirty towel hanging behind bathroom door, a miss matched hodgepodge of bedroom furniture and appliances shoved in a corner, for the money paid highly disappointed and the manager didn’t even acknowledge my complaints. The one good thing is the view but we weren’t there for the view. Also it was almost impossible to get anyone to answer the phone at the hotel, very frustrating.
10. Viking Arms Inn
Overall Ratings

The Viking Arms Inn is located centrally in Ludington. We have been one of the highest AAA quality rated facilities in the area for over 30 years. Offering exceptional quality and warm hospitality. Shopping, the beach and the SS Badger are all as close as a mile away. We are open all year for the summer as well as the winter traveler.
Decent, Utilitarian Room
Reviewed By BigGeorge1We were without power for three days, and this was our last night away from home before our power was restored. The room is very basic, with a tiny shower in the bathroom. Our only complaint about the room was the small gap where the door didn't seal. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but the person in the next room started his diesel truck early in the morning to let it warm up, and the fumes started creeping in. I know it makes housekeeping easier, but I wish the staff would have left some space between the occupied rooms. There were probably ten rooms in use, and they were all bunched together. As others have said, this is an old-style motel, where the room doors open right into the parking lot. Very nice staff during our brief interactions (on the phone, then twice in person). For old-timer visitors, I believe ownership has changed since the 2021 season.
