What guests think

Across many reviews, Nader's Motel & Suites is praised for its walkable location near Ludington's beach and parks, generally clean, updated rooms, and family-friendly touches like a pool, fire pits, outdoor games, grills, and well-kept grounds.

Guests frequently highlight friendly, efficient check-in and helpful front-desk staff. However, recurring drawbacks include some noise from thin walls or traffic, occasional maintenance or supply issues, and a few complaints about room assignments or limited responsiveness. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly stay with simple comforts and lively outdoor amenities.

Great family friendly place within walking distance to Ludington Beach. Fire pits, outdoor games, laundry, picnic tables & community kitchen/gathering place. They’ve thought of everything!

Great place right across from downtown beach park and State Park! Nice pool, grounds and even bikes for kids to use. Very nice to have slider that opened up to pool area. Nice updated features in room, epoxy floors are wonderful as keep you cool and easy to sweep that beautiful beach sand up! We will be back for sure!

When checking in I was told we would be moving rooms for our second night. That's just crazy! I was not informed of this. That would be extremely inconvenient to do this - ruins the day! Desk staff member worked hard switching people around so this would not have to happen. Much appreciated! Rooms were great. My only complaint is that the carpet was a little wet - not sure why. When I noticed pets allowed on the premises and rooms it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Shoes were worn in room! Thank goodness no odor. Pool was extremely clean. Loved that grills and picnic tables were outside the rooms for everyone to use. Would definitely stay again!

We've been coming to Nader's Motel every year for the past 7 years. I love how close the are to Stearns Park and Lake Michigan! The fire pit and outdoor games are really a nice addition! My only gripe is that the bathrooms have no counter space whatsoever! Its so hard getting ready in the mornings. When a family of 4 doesn't even have space for everyone's toothbrushes it's a downer 😔 Also, there's no full length mirror either. None of this would prevent us from staying again.

There was trash left in the room from previous guests. The carpet was dirty. The front desk staff have zero hospitality skills. Talk about unfriendly. When signing the check in sheet, they have two pages of rules that you have to agree to. When I asked them to clarify about their smoking policy, they literally threatened to charge my credit card! The woman wasn’t clear about where the boundaries were and while we don’t smoke I like to be clear on the rules. There are cameras everywhere on this property, so if you’re looking for privacy this is NOT the place to stay. Last but not least, I’ve ended up with a strange rash/bites on my chest and arms that look suspiciously like bedbug bites. Cleanliness is the first thing I look for and it appears I need glasses.

I found check in was very pleasant, Pam was very nice. It was very cold in Ludington and after a blizzard. The rooms were clean, warm and quiet. I was a little concerned due to previous bad reviews, but mostly from people with dogs who did notify hotel Before reserving for dog friendly room. So don't listen to what they say. Also booking on line you are bound to change and cancelation rules with goes with just about anything you reserve on line today! Location was perfect just outside of town and down the block from park to watch the sunset. I would recommend staying there and would do so again.

I checked in when hotel was relatively empty. I am handicapped and they gave me a second floor room. Asking if I could change, I was told no, because someone else that came might have the same problem. I asked the desk for conditioner refill and was told no.The maid would come and if you asked them to come back in a little bit, they would not. Considering it was $300+ per night. It was unacceptable
