Best Western Lakewinds

We stayed the night before taking the SS Badger across Lake Michigan. There were three of us and we booked a two bedroom/one bath room; it had a king-sized bed in one room and two double or queen beds in the main room. A refrigerator (no freezer), microwave and coffee maker were in the main room, on a kitchen-type counter. Check in was easy and staff was masked up (as were we). Clear signage on all doors requiring the wearing of masks in halls and common areas. There is plenty of parking and a nice playground, including a merry-go-round. The immediate odor in the hallway was rather off-putting, I’m sure (I hope!) it was a cleaning product. The room, though, was worse, with a very heavily scented product which we traced to a ‘plug-in’ in the bathroom. We removed it and that helped, but the smell still hit you everytime you came in the room. The hotel was quiet at night and the rooms had darkening shades. Beds were medium-comfortable (a bit too soft for me). Pillows the standard “chewed up” foam, I’m happy I brought my own. This was an accessible room on the first floor with a fairly large bathroom but a tiny shower (lots of grab bars, not a lot of space). My main complaint is of the strongly scented air—not sure what they are trying to cover up (air conditioner was a bit musty smelling). The “free breakfast” in the morning were microwaveable sandwiches that were horrible, we didn’t eat them and went out for breakfast instead. less

Stayed here overnight before taking the ferry to Wisconsin. The rooms were obviously cleaned and sanitized, so we felt very safe. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bathroom, like 99% of all hotels, is small, but that is to be expected. The bed was very comfortable. A tad noisy of people above us, but hard to control that. Highly recommend this property when staying in Ludington. less

Stayed here for the first time while in ludington. Big family trip they accommodated all of us and kept us together which was nice, friendly staff, clean rooms, bathrooms and showers could be updated. Great pool area, kids loved it. It’s open now. Would stay here again. less

We used this motel to stay overnight before travelling to Wisconsin on the S.S. Badger. Very nicely appointed and only a couple of miles from the boat dock. Plenty of "name" restaurants are near by. This fact may come in handy as motels in Michigan (not just this one) that offer breakfast are rather limited in what they can offer. Price is pretty competitive with other chain motels in the area. Very enjoyable place to stay! less

The hotel has a nice outdoor sitting area by a playground to enjoy the nice weather. It's in a great location close to the lake and a Walmart. Check-in was quick and staff was friendly. I was very surprised to find a hotel room with 3 beds which was very nice surprise! I was not impressed with the lighting throughout the hotel hallways. It was extremely dim, not fresh and bright. The room smelled very old and not fresh. I would probably not stay here again because of the lighting and smell. less
