The Nova Motel

It is a great place to stay at a reasonable price when fishing in the area. They have coolers available for your fish at the end of the day. Definitely nice for a no frills guy trip.

Location was ideal and ease of getting in and out

The bedding mattress was not comfortable and made a few trips to front office due to couple of things weren’t working and didn’t have amenities in room upfront like extra toilet paper, 2 towels for which one was a floor towel and that other was a body towel.

My stay was quiet and comfortable. The gentleman on duty the next morning saw I was having trouble with getting my friend out in to my cast.He came over and help me. He was very kind and concern for us.

I had the pleasure of staying two nights at the Nova Motel recently. I stayed in two different rooms and can strongly recommend them both, as well as the staff at Nova. They are friendly, helpful and very efficient. The Nova is a very welcoming, peaceful and cozy spot in Ludington and very affordable. As I entered town, the motel's sign almost beckoned to me and, in checking places out on my handy dandy accommodations apps, the Nova was thankfully one of the most reasonable options, by far. I was ready to drop anchor and thar she was. I had a restful evening in a smaller room the first night, saving up to treat myself to the deluxe room #9 for my final night in town. I say saving up because I am a very frugal traveler, carting my food with me, cooking or warming my meals on site, camping when possible. The price I paid for #9 is what many people pay without a second thought, as a matter of course. And what we get, with #9 ... A very roomy and homey suite with comfy bed, dining nook, living room area with couch and sweet quilted comforter, small kitchenette with roomy fridge and microwave and a very nice size and nicely functioning jacuzzi, in room. There is a separate bathroom with plenty of space, plenty of towels and a walk-in shower, a very user-friendly feature for the more mature set. The air conditioning was unobtrusive feeling and very effective and I had another restful night's sleep. A sweet suite, for certain. I took a tub in the evening and another in the morning, after zipping over to the Ludington beach for a pleasant walk and photo op. The Nova is close enough to town that it is a quick trip to the many cool shops and dining places. I didn't get a chance to jump in the motel pool but it was easily accessible, clean and it looked like guests were enjoying their swimming there. It was hard to leave the motel and be on my way, my stay was so refreshing and Ludington such a lovely place to visit but, I know, I will be back :-) Thank you, Nova management and staff!

This property looks like it was built in the 50’s and never repaired or remodeled. Door and windows were old and windows didn’t even lock. Chair and carpeting in the room were old and the place smelled musty. We left to find a different hotel. Unfortunately lost out on $148, but I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in that room if we stayed.

Loud ,

The entry door had over a half inch gap leading to outside. Had to put a blanket under the door to keep potential mice and critters out. Ceiling tiles were stained. Bathroom plug not working properly Ants on the carpet Blanket Used to cover the door was probably 10 years old or older Very old rundown would not recommend it to anyone
