Guest Reviews
- Deborah (10/5): - I liked how close it was to the beach and the room was small but it had everything we needed. I loved the night light in the bathroom and the heat after I took a shower. I love the bedside lamps and tables on both sides with somewhere to plug in phones. I really like the little table and two chairs in the room and the balcony was nice if the weather was nice with the table and two chairs outside the room.The TV was easy to use and had all the channels. That was important because the tigers game was on. I loved being able to walk to the pier and all around the Beach area. The refrigerator microwave were really a Plus also. I'm definitely telling all my friends and relatives about this place.
- Patti (8/5): - great sunsets!!
- Kenneth (10/5): - Great location right on beach, staff was great got to check in early would stay again
- B4289ZEterryh (4/5): Inexpensive, but won't stay there again - Staff members were pleasant enough. The room was extremely small, and the shower so small that it was difficult to maneuver, and I am not a large person. caulking round the shower was moldy and gross. It had a full size bed rather than a queen. The bathroom is tiny. The toilet was not cleaned sufficiently, as there was fecal matter on the seat. I brought disinfect and wiped it down. I did appreciate the broom and dustpan in the room to clean sand off the floor, and I did appreciate the laminate floor rather than carpeting as it is easier to clean and sanitize. The outside patio was decent with two nice chairs, however Lake Michigan was obscured by a berm, so was not visible. There were games and books available in the library, which is nice for rainy days and children. The room was inexpensive, but we won't stay there again. It's ok if you plan to be at the beach and not be in the room, but bring your own paper towels and disinfectant. I guess I am spoiled but I did expect better as far as cleanliness.
- Teresa (10/5): - Cute private waterfront patio.
- Julie (10/5): - Great pick! Ckean, comfortable room with attentive service. Loved the patio for enjoying girgeous sunset! Would stay again.
- Annette (10/5): - The property sits on Lake Michigan with a public beach & a lighthouse you can walk out to. Convenient walkable access to shops, restaurants and the harbor. Incredible sunsets & friendly staff.
- Miguel (10/5): - Nice spot.
- Donna (10/5): - All perfect- great view of lake and sitting on patio with breeze excellent- loved it and wish we had another day.
- Christina (6/5): - The room was clean, bed was comfortable. Room was small but the patio was great (we were on the first floor). Very friendly staff. Bathroom is in bad need of an update. Needs updated baseboards. Outlets are ok. We were on corner room facing the waterfront and you could hear the traffic but it wasn't horrible.
- Willow (10/5): - It was amazing!
- Robin (8/5): - Clean room but small; great view of the lake
- Marjorie (10/5): - Helpful staff
- Rae (10/5): - Amazing property
- Michelle (10/5): - Nice virw from the balcony and quiet place
- Stephen (10/5): Classic updated motel - Large, updated room overlooking the Lake (with parking lot in front) - Great place to land after deboarding the ferry from Manitowoc. Fun watching the ferry from our balcony, leave the next morning.
- Christine (10/5): - The room was great very clean, it had all of the amenities even real glasses and dinnerware! Perfect views over the bay. The only downfall was the bed was not comfortable, Memory Foam Mattresses would be a perfect resolution comfortable and cheap!
- Susan (6/5): small room - great views uncomfortable beds and tint bathroom and shower with mold
- Rich (10/5): Great stay - We had a great two night stay and enjoyed visiting the town qe lived in for 18 years
- Samantha (10/5): - Absolutely lovely stay!
- John (6/5): - Nice
- Susan (10/5): - Beach and harbor view, everything walkable! Great staff!!!!
- Delaney (10/5): - Such a great place to stay! Very close to the beach and stunning views from the balcony.
- Kenneth (10/5): - Booked last min nice property great price.
- Jan (8/5): - The location is great. The room air conditioning was underperforming. The ceiling fan was appreciated. The bath tub whirlpool pieces in the tub are mouldy . Our stay was one night.
- Mark (6/5): - Room wasn’t cleane
- ritters17 (2/5): Horrible! Stay away! - We booked a room with two seperate bedrooms and lakeview. The Lakeview was okey. But the room unfortunatly hadn’t two bedrooms. It was one room with a small kitchen beetwen the two beds. But that wasn‘t the biggest problem. The cleanliness was absolutly horrible. I travel a lot and i saw a lot. But that was definently too much. I think it hasn't been vacuumed for several weeks. All over the floor was food leftovers. In one towel was e plastic nail from en employee. We looked for another hotel but unfortunatly there was nothing left in the town and we were late. Stay away from this hotel. It‘s not a dollar worth!!! Totally disgusting!! I am still very annoyed!
- Hirama (10/5): - Clean room and convenient
- Taylor (8/5): - .
- GREGG (8/5): - Great location!
- Lee Ann (6/5): Short Stay in Ludington - An older hotel with some updates. Check in easy and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. Nice porch to sit and watch the boats. The room appeared to be good for a longer stay, as it had a small kitchenette.
- David (8/5): - Nice folks running the place and close to beach and restaurants
- Chris (10/5): - .
- Jamie (10/5): - Great location right by the beach!
- Bradford (8/5): - Excellent location with basic necessities met. Walking distance to pier, city park, ice cream and restaurants. State park only 5-10 minute drive north. Shower was quite small.
- trudy (10/5): - Absolutely gorgeous !
- Michael (8/5): - Great location. Friendly staff. Nice room, great location. A continental breakfast would be nice, but not necessary.
- Kathleen (10/5): - We had a great time!
- Sean (10/5): Great hotel in a great location, too pricey - Hotel is in a great location right on the water and within walking distance to many local bars and restaurants. Hotel is clean and staff is super friendly and always ready to help with any needs you may have. My only negative comment is the price. My girlfriend and I have stayed here the past 3 years at the same time of year and the price has gone up by $400 since the first time with no improvements or anything to the rooms. I get that everything has gone up in that time, but that's a bit excessive. Also, if I'm going to nitpick something, the beds aren't exactly the most comfortable.
- Jason (10/5): - Always fantastic!
- Nathaniel (10/5): - Great lake view from balcony.
- Deborah (10/5): - Perfect location to the beach and marina!
- Dale (8/5): - Great location, right on the beach or just a short walk to town.
- Christine (10/5): - Awesome location, good sized rooms, nicely updated! We love it!
- Charles (8/5): - We have stayed here several times through the years due to the quaint nature of the place and the location on the lake close to the Ludington Ferry and lighthouse. This time the place looked a bit run down and in need of repair and painting. Our room was nice and clean, except for finding a few plates in the kitchenette cabinet with food all over them like someone had put them away dirty.
- Sharon (6/5): Nice location, terrible room - The staff was very friendly and the patio was nice but I have to say those are the only nice things I have to say about the janitor closet room I had. Whoever designed the layout of this room should be ashamed. The shower was so small you could barely raise your hands to wash your hair. It had peeling paint a broken light in the bathroom, there were a ton of anchor screws left in the walls and just barely painted over. I understand that I purchased the economy queen room but that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve quality especially at over 200$ a night.
- Michael (10/5): - Great location
- Abbie (10/5): - Nice place
- Katherine (10/5): - Beach next door is always beautiful! Best balcony view in Ludington- by far!
- jillrG4534NS (4/5): My love-hate relationship with this place continues... - I've stayed at Snyder's dozens of times over the course of decades. It was pretty nice for a while, then it was really run down for a while. I actually stayed other places because it was gross and seemed way too expensive for its overall quality. THEN, voila, it got a face lift (which I believe is ongoing). My boyfriend and I stayed at the renovated Snyder's last year in 2024 (in the south building with the enclosed patios), and it was pretty nice (3.5/5 overall). We went back again this year, and we were not impressed at all. The biggest issue was that our room never got cleaned, despite being told two mornings in a row by the front desk that it would be. We returned late afternoon one day, and nothing had been touched. I went to the office to ask whether rooms were still being cleaned and was told they were done for the day. The clerk gave me some fresh towels, apologized that they forgot us and assured me we would be cleaned the next day. Only we weren't . . . Someone did visit the room to leave fresh towels, but nothing else was done. The bed was unmade when we returned, and our coffee pods hadn't been replenished. When we checked out the next morning, we weren't even asked how our stay had been. Aside from the poor service (which is what prompted me to write this review), there were some odd features of our room (Room 145) that were dissatisfying. First, the TV set was probably only 16" (no kidding) and barely visible from the king sized bed across the room. We didn't go on vacation to watch TV so that, in itself, was more humorous than anything else. However, TVs are not expensive, and a much larger one is expected as a standard feature in even a 3-star motel these days. On a slightly more disturbing note, there was a window adjacent to the door to our room that had no curtain on it. Brackets on the wall seemed to indicate that a curtain had hung there once, but it was gone. This was a problem because the sink/vanity and mirror just outside the bathroom were immediately inside the front door. (If you step out of the bathroom with few to no clothes on, anyone walking by can see you!) We hung a towel up after discovering this on the second morning of our stay. It was definitely a huge privacy and safety issue. Additionally, there was no towel bar by the bathroom sink. Holes in the wall suggested it had been torn out and not replaced. Paint touch up was also badly needed in some places around the bathroom sink and bar sink. The GOOD things about Snyder's are as follows: * LOCATION! Hard to beat. . . * The outdoor pool is nice to have (though there was a lot of sand in the bottom and algae growing along the sides). * The updated rooms are much better than the previous decor. * The balconies are spacious and have a great view of the marina. * Our room was spacious and had a couch (though it faced opposite the TV) and a nice wet bar area with cupboards and a fridge that was larger than most hotel rooms (even had a freezer that was adequately sized). * The outdoor landscaping is very pretty. The grass is nicely maintained, and the flowers growing in pots around the property were beautiful. The BAD things about Snyder's, in summary, are as follows: * The updated rooms still feel incomplete and are missing some things. * The poor service with no housekeeping (even when promised) was disappointing. * The price seems very high for the experience we had. We paid $281.94/night for our king balcony room, including taxes. I've stayed in nicer motels in Ludington that were much less expensive. * There is no continental breakfast provided. The vouchers we were given last year for breakfast at House of Flavors were no longer offered.
- Steve (6/5): - Overall the room was okay other than the sand on the floor. Understanding we are near the beach but not directly on it. The outside balcony again had sand on the deck and the exterior siding appeared to have not been cleaned in quite a while. We stayed for four nights and the towels were not replaced at any point, we needed to go to the front desk to get new ones.
- william (10/5): - Amazing service and very clean would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in ludington
- Daniel (10/5): - Very good.. Looking forward to staying soon!!
- Kaylee (10/5): - Excellent view of the lake!
- Danielle (10/5): - Older building with nice updates. Everything was clean (except a fork in the sink lol). Loved the jetted two person tub facing the balcony. You could see the lighthouse from our room and walk to the beach. Balcony area was nice with rocking chairs and a small table. It was also very private. Will definitely stay again! Staff was nice altho we didn’t need much. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub.
- Barbara (8/5): - REALLY close to the beach!!! Half a mile to shopping and eating. Check in was easy and staff were great
- Jennifer (10/5): - Really enjoyed our trip. Super close to the beach. Clean room, quiet and comfortable.
- Carol (10/5): - We had an amazing time. Very close to beach, great views, close to downtown. We walked a lot which was great. We were on second floor so doing outside stairs was good for us. Sunsets were gorgeous. The putt putt course across the street was so much fun! House of flavors ice cream was totally amazing. Went to the state park and that was a great decision. Beautiful beaches. We would like to go again sometime.
- Steven (10/5): - Perfect location for our stay. It is close to beach and not far from down town. Beautiful views and comfortable modern room.
- Lori (10/5): - We loved being so near the water, with a balcony overlooking the beach and lake. Nice facilities.
- Thomas (6/5): - This is all about location. Right next to City Beach. My room was on the small side but the worst part is not having any surface space to set your belongings. And the bathroom was tiny. Heat/AC works but is terribly loud. Room felt damp. TV is old and you cannot see everything that should be on screen (like baseball stats).
- Gregory (10/5): - Nice
- Graciela (8/5): - Place is well equipped with everything you could need. It’s quite worn but well maintained.
- Michael (6/5): - Nice location but most of property condition was average to poor. No operating WiFi or tv!
- Cheryl (6/5): Meh - Amazing location, but almost no attention to the room; very dated and old and extremely small bathroom.
- Sarah (6/5): - We stayed here for one night passing through to go to the beach! We got a call earlier in the day that our room was going to be upgraded to 2 queen balcony with lake view so my fiance and I were very excited! When we got into the room it heavily smelled of urine. We’ve never experienced something like this before and the staff said they hadn’t either. We asked if we could have the original room we reserved because the urine smell was very potent and the glade spray the staff had was only making it worse. Thankfully they obliged! The new room we stayed in had some hair left in the shower from a previous stay. But we were just happy to have a room without the smell at that point. The staff was very kind and hopefully the urine smell was just a one off time. The location is super convenient but I think we would just stay else where since parking by the beach is free.
- Lindsey (10/5): - Walking distance to beach!
- Janice (10/5): - To start, having a balcony overlook the lake in the morning was very nice. We spent most of the day at the beach across the street . It was a quick drive over and it only took a minute. You can walk but I had seniors with walking issues. This was an excellent beach for them because it offered two ramps down to the water and I could push them in a wheelchair. The worst part of the hotel for us was having no elevator, but that was my fault for not booking rooms on the first level. The hotel did not offer breakfast in the morning, but with a short drive down the street there are great places to eat. We really liked how quiet the area was and hotel location to the beach. If you have kids who skateboard THIS is the place to stay. There’s an excellent skate park across the street and playground. If you are expecting a newer perfect looking hotel this may not be for you, but if a quiet clean room in a charming area is what you seek, then I recommend this spot. This quiet location is fantastic for walkers, joggers, and families. I definitely would consider coming back. (There’s a pool and hot tub, but it rained on our second day so we could not go in it. I have no review of that, but it looked clean at a glance).
- Jason (6/5): - Great location, but the hotel is not very nice. IMO it’s a tear down and needs a new building. I doubt I’d stay here again even though it’s right on Lake Michigan.
- Elyse (6/5): - The location is amazing, best view is the second floor but you have to take stairs to your room. Large suitcases or heavy packed items are not ideal to bring.
- Jacqueline (10/5): - We love Snyder’s historical feel, updated rooms, proximity to the walking loop, mini golf, north breakwater light, and Stearns Park beach. We choose Snyder’s year after year!
- srose5 (8/5): Before you book, you should know this..... - Please keep in mind that I review hotels, based only on the hotel generally, not the surrounding area. After having a minor dispute over the booking, the rest of my vacation was nice. Fourth of July, room 124....I simply cannot give the hotel 5 stars. This room is "outdated"; there are holes in the walls from previously mounted items (pictures, toilet paper holder, etc..); the bathroom is "dirty", (behind the door); the bathroom door is warped and "buckled", with the door closed. The room needs some spackling repairs and painting. The floors are scratched up and the molding around the walls is gapped and doesn't meet with flooring. The air conditioner is loud and must be on constantly to hold a good temperature. I just had feelings of "uncleanliness" in this room. The hotel does not offer AARP or Disabled Veteran discounts. There is no breakfast or snacks. I felt generally that this room was overpriced ($350 per night), regardless of what the occasion was. Rooms should have set prices determined by their size and quality, not by who books their reservation first. ***However, the people are nice and kind!!. ***Special mention to the Maintenance guy that dressed the part of an older era. Nice to see him in the parade, riding an old bicycle, then back to work. The pool was enjoyable and warm yet cool. The employees worked hard to make people happy, giving hotel guests chairs and gifts for the parade and fireworks show. Visitors should be aware that "economy" and "double queen" rooms are of the older style. King rooms and Suites are remodeled and much. much nicer. The hotel has the great advantage of being the only hotel in Ludington that is close to the water, lighthouse, and ferry ships. It's also a big plus that the patios are spacious. I'm rating it overall as 4 stars, for the hospitality.....
- Michael (8/5): - Great location next to beach. We also enjoyed pool and hottub. Great lakeside view. Recently renovated. Exceeded expectations.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Go somewhere else - This property is just okay. It has a lot of potential to be great, but everything was so old, musty and outdated. We averaged just shy of $300/night and it's definitely not worth that price point. The one redeeming quality is the proximity to the beach. Everything else was not up to par. With ample beach parking, stay somewhere else that's nicer for less. The staff was friendly, but it was overall very underwhelming and disappointing.
- Rebekah (8/5): - Great location. Able to get to beach, restaurants & shopping without having to drive. Perfect for a short stay with lots to do in the area.
- Thor (10/5): - Love the location Very beautiful town Clean and comfy rooms
- Becky (8/5): - Love hotel location. Very clean. Rooms have been renovated and beautiful. Did have some WiFi issues. Could’ve been the enormous crowds in ludington over the 4th on July.
- Kathleen (10/5): - It had a perfect view the workers on the property were great very helpful
- Sandra (10/5): - Love the location and the room. See the lighthouse from the outside porch. Love it!
- Jeff (10/5): - Great
- Elaine (6/5): - Love the proximity to the beach and town. The fireworks were right out in front of the property which was great. The noise from the streets was terrible. Didn’t get much sleep. Room looked somewhat updated but could be better.
- Janine (10/5): - Come here at least 2 times a year. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony, staff is great.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Snyders - Great price and view. However vent system smelled terrible making us ready to move on to our next stop.
- 251pjk (4/5): Don't waste your money - Food from the previous occupant was left in the fridge and the kitchen sink was not cleaned out. The bed was just a mattress on a set of springs (not box springs) and the 2 air conditioners in the room did not cool the room down and were louder than jet airplanes. Neither the window nor the balcony door had a screen. Don't waste your money.
- JAYNNE (6/5): - Nowhere on website does it say "no elevator ". Climbing multiple flights, multiple times daily was hard. Also the toilet was 12 inches off the floor with nothing safe to hold on to. Terrible.
- Luc (10/5): - Beach toys and board games available for rental in the office,
- GrandTour39035509835 (10/5): Loved it! - Great place. The room was quite spacious and clean with a nice covered patio area to enjoy the view of the beach and lake. The staff was super nice. Hope to come back sometime soon.
- Gloria (10/5): - Fun
- Jack (6/5): - The view from our room was wonderful. Looked out to lighthouse and Lake Michigan. Large balcony with rocking chairs. Room was large a spacious. Only problem was bathtub/shower. Very dirty along shower door base. There was adhesive shower mat in tub that was heavily stained and dirty.
- Daniel (6/5): - Paid for the suite, but other than the beds, no furniture in our "suite". No chairs, no couch, nowhere to sit other than the beds.... which was weird. Room was clean enough and we slept well. Easy walk to the beach. Staff was friendly, except for dude at the reception counter who was willing to tell me the coffee was empty but nit willing to make some more.
- Scott (10/5): - Great place to stay just a little outdated.
- ROBERT (8/5): - Quaint retro charm for a single night stay
- Happiness48769641352 (10/5): Amazing - From the moment we pulled up, the view was amazing. We had an amazing room with a huge patio. They even had beach toys to “rent” for free. Open 24 hours for coffee on the lobby. We walked to the beach every morning. Bath tub was a hit as it was jetted, such a surprise. Housekeeping was on top of always changing our trash and refilling all used products. We will be back!
- 15citrus (6/5): Good location - Cannot beat the location but needs a makeover. Tiny bathroom, coffee maker on a shelf too high so quite dangerous and out of date fixtures and fittings.
- Rebecca (6/5): - The location is great, just a walk across the street to the beach. The rooms were clean but maintenance was rather poor. The room door slammed into the clothing rack and hangers upon opening, there was very limited room to get to the toilet and the shower head would not move, leaving the water shooting straight into my face. Not ideal since the shower stall was so small, that one could not move to step out of the stream of water without leaving the shower altogether. There was no screen on the sliding door, so either the bugs got in or no fresh air could be had in the room. Overall, it was a cute hotel and staff were pleasant. However, the owners may benefit from hiring a licensed contractor to do remodeling in the bathroom and install a screen and a working lock on the sliding glass door.
- Christy (8/5): - Very clean
- Catherine (2/5): - Stayed in a different room two days before. It was great so we decided to book a room here for our return trip. The room we wanted was booked so we booked what we thought was similar. It was tiny as a shoebox. Cannot believe they can call it a room, more like a big closet. The promised view was obscured by vehicles. Be careful which room you book here or you could be terribly disappointed. This room should have been heavily discounted, it wasn’t.
- R6766YCconniek (8/5): Vacation 2025 - The hotel staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The showers were small and hard to maneuver around. There is no breakfast available. There is coffee available. The view is breathtaking. Parking is good. Great location.
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Clean with a gorgeous view of the lake
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Good place to stay to catch the US Badger
