Guest Reviews
- N2140BBsandyw (10/5): Great place to stay - We stayed in room 21 it was very nice and clean and I think it was just remodeled not too long ago. Nader hotel and suit is in walking distance to down town. I highly recommend to stay here.
- Christie (10/5): - Basically across the street from a nice beach. It’s very quiet with nice pool and also has yard games. Very clean and staff friendly. Can easily walk into town! Loved it
- Kristin (10/5): - Very clean updated motel. Close to the beach. I would stay here again.
- M4026LLrosej (2/5): Rude Owner - While at this facility, children we were with ages 12, asked how to play a game on site were told by the owner that a game they were playing was "common sense" and walked away instead of providing instructions. A parent approached (sitting at a picnic table) about 30 feet away after seeing an adult taking to the children, adult asked what the kids needed, his response was very rude, "parental supervision". If you advertise as family friendly, and have games on site for guests, assume they may use them. This was awful customer services. Price gouging for an event and then treating guest poorly will not provide return customers.
- DIANE (10/5): - I just love Nadars....been there 3 times. A little chilly this time, but it wasnt their fault, lol. Definitely going back next summer!! So close to the beach and sand dunes. Love, love, love!!!!
- Cory (6/5): - I booked the room months ago and they called me last week to let me know that they didn’t have any double occupancy rooms available. The room that I stayed in had a broken bathroom fan so the bathroom was constantly fogged up after showering.
- G9968FPdeboraho (4/5): Great location, service below par - This was our first time staying here. Great location and the room was very clean. Having a kitchenette was nice, although it could have used more utensils and some glassware - there were no drinking glasses or real coffee mugs (paper only). Bathroom did not have a sink in it, so you had to brush your teeth and wash up in the kitchenette. We found the woman working in the office to be very rude. It felt like we were bothering her when we checked in and out. My parents were with us and had their own room. We could not figure out how to turn the heat on in their room, so my mom had to go ask her for help. She was completely irritated that she had to walk over to their room, but then she even had to call someone to figure it out. Not sure I would stay here again.
- Robert (10/5): - Nice location, well kept.
- Connie (8/5): Family fun times - Check in staff was amazing! Love the property even though it was raining and couldn't do much. Only thing is that we had no washcloths and the body wash was out with the office not opening until late :(
- B6490TRjaredm (2/5): Do not stay here!!! - Our room smelled like cigarettes when we checked in. the staff was very rude and wouldn’t switch our rooms to be next to our family even though we booked all the rooms together with the same last name. They charged us a fee claiming we smoked in our room when we don’t even smoke. Very unprofessional we definitely will not be back
- sarah (10/5): Great stay by Ludington Beach - 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!
- Diana (2/5): - 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.
- MICHAEL (10/5): - Very clean, friendly staff.
- Marcie (10/5): - Nice place
- Carol (10/5): - Great location steps to the beach to watch the freighters and look at lighthouse
- Trisha (10/5): - It was great for the night stay
- Erin (10/5): - The place was very quiet and our room was cozy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I had a few special requests, and they made sure that all of my needs were met. I had a wonderful visit!
- Diane (10/5): - 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.
- V5474AWdennisg (10/5): Birthday - We had a great time on our grand daughters outing, we will be Horseback ready swimming in the pool at the restaurant and enjoying all the facilities here the room was excellent and had lots of room for us to enjoy thanks to Heather at the front desk
- George (10/5): - Check in was quick and easy and the staff person was very knowledgeable about the area.
- jeffnY6535FW (2/5): Cancellation Policy - I have stayed here many times and had a good experience. Today I needed to cancel my trip due to illness and was told because I didn't cancel more than 14 days in advance, which is ridiculous, they were keeping my $99 deposit. I understood this was the policy but you'd think for a repeat customer you could show some leniency. Plus the person on the phone used a very condescending tone with me like she really didn't care and that's unfortunate.
- Alisa (10/5): - The comfiest bed, blankets, and pillows, ever!!!
- Christine (8/5): - We stay here often and like the cleanliness of rooms and surrounding area. The proximity to the state park is a big plus!
- Ellane (10/5): - They are convenient for the craft show we do in Pentwater and a fair price.
- meggan (10/5): - Beautiful property would go again and again
- Jason (6/5): - Bed and pillows were hard. Get stuck above office and the room wasn't as nice as the pictures online. The bathroom was remodeled and very nice. Very loud with traffic all night. Probably will not say there again.
- joy (10/5): - Very well maintained units and grounds, the area is pleasent and restful. would go back in a heartbeat.
- Kristi (10/5): Excellent stay! - Nader’s was great!!! Such a cute little room, with access to grill, fire pit, outdoor games, etc. Just a quick walk to the beach. Service was excellent!
- jodybJ2042IK (2/5): Don’t stay here - We have to agree with the negative reviews we have read. We booked for 4 nights , but we’re only able to stay for 3. Having said this we still paid well over $400.00. And we might mention we have stayed her before and so we were returning customers. They would not give us a refund for the last night. In fact we would have a paid a nominal fee for cancellation of our last night if offered. They have proven themselves to be greedy and not representative of the great state of Michigan. In fact Pam was rude, if that was in fact her name. She then had the audacity to ask us if we were going to stay even though there would be no refund forthcoming simply for the convenience of their housekeeping staff. Do not stay here. There are too many alternatives. Read the reviews.
- Kyle (10/5): Very nice - It's a nice cozy place. Basically right on Lake Michigan. Some may not think it's good walking distance to everything, but I consider the walking distance good.
- karen (6/5): Bad service - 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
- Michelle (8/5): - Nice place
- Jennifer (10/5): Great Beach Getaway! - 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!
- JENNIFER (8/5): - 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.
- Russell (10/5): - Accesability, lighting, room location.
- Joseph (10/5): - Our room was great but in the first tv room the ceiling fan had no pull string and we couldn’t get it on. The room with the beds had a ceiling fan that we couldn’t turn off. It had a string but it was too hard to pull to get to shut off
- TravelUSA5 (2/5): DIDN'T STAY HERE, BUT KEPT MY MONEY - STAY AWAY! - Nader’s is listed as pet-friendly on Travelocity/Expedia, and I made reservations via Travelocity on Friday 8/11 at 9pm for the following weekend's Suds on the Shore event. The next morning I read the confirmation email, which said to call in advance if you are bringing pets. So, I called and they said they do not have any more pet friendly rooms so I would have to cancel. Seemed like no big deal, right? I cancelled. BUT THEY KEPT $288! FOR NOTHING! THEY WON'T ISSUE A REFUND FOR A RESERVATION THAT WAS CANCELLED by the next morning? Absolutely unconscionable! This was a full week ahead of the scheduled stay. I DID NOT STAY THERE. Why did they keep my $288!!!!!!????? I've never been there. THEY REPEATEDLY HUNG UP THE PHONE ON THE TRAVELOCITY/EXPEDIA AGENT WHO CALLED THEM ON MY BEHALF. WHAT KIND OF UNPROFESSIONAL PLACE DOES THAT? After multiple attempts Travelocity contacted me apologizing, but said Nader’s refuses to issue a refund, so I’m out of luck. I’m just baffled at how very mean Nader's are being. I don't have $288 to waste and I have to find another hotel. Apparently, this is just a regular business practice for them because you see other reviews just like mine. Management will reply to such reviews with something like, "well, you used a third party website to book" as if that's such a crazy thing to do. It's simply an unfair business practice that needs to be reported as such. Shame on them. Anytime someone can make a reservation, even by mistake, and then cancel it immediately, yet still be charged an outrageous sum, that's unjustified greed and total lack of concern for their reputation.
- LAURA (10/5): - Our favorite place to stay
- SandyD280 (10/5): This is a first for me - a "SIX"-STAR review - Always wondered about this place and I will wonder no more! We will return sooner than later. This is truly a very family-oriented place with outdoor games, heated pool, bicycles, grills and picnic tables. The staff, especially Pam, were all very friendly and professional. Our suite was immaculate and very comfortable. The grounds are very well taken care of right down to wiping down the vinyl fencing around the pool. Loved the larger refrigerator (most places have one maybe big enough for just a few bottles) and the Tic Tacs by the coffee pot was an added bonus! This way more than met my expectations, especially for an older establishment. Location is perfect! Stearns City Beach is a block away. The state park and Hamlin Lake are just a few minutes drive away.
- Myrdrall1 (2/5): Never ever again. - Total bait and switch bookings. Drove 7hrs and was told we couldn't have the room we booked a month in advance because we had our dog. Specifically booked here because they accept dogs. Never, ever again.
- K662YGstacyr (2/5): Awful experience! - Made a reservation directly with Naders (not a third party website) for our anniversary. Received a message at 11pm at night asking to give them a call. Returned the call the next day and was told that they overbooked and they had to cancel my reservation. Now I have 2 days to find and secure another place. Why wouldn’t they leave that message so I knew it was an urgent matter?! What if I wouldn’t have called them back?! Will NEVER stay or recommend them.
- Destination707160 (6/5): Gone downhill quickly - This is the 4th year we have stayed here with extended family for almost a full week. This was by far the worst experience we’ve had. Our suite smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke. We left the slider open whenever possible but smelled so strongly for all 6 days. My husband told the front desk person and she shrugged her shoulders and did nothing about it. In addition, the place has “daily housekeeping”. The card in the room stated vacuuming as part of the housekeeping. had to ask 4x across 2 days to get our room vacuumed halfway through our week there. The card in the room stated this was to be done daily. In addition, my sister in laws room had no toilet paper or toiletries upon arrival. We have always loved this place in the past because it has tons of bikes to use in all sizes. These are now about 5 kids bike and 1 adult bike. Service here as gone significantly down hill. The owner opened her own boutique in town this summer and apparently the management here no longer matters.
- rebeccapZ9908PB (2/5): Took my money did not allow me to stay - Made a reservation months in advance of event. Paid in advance, arrived the day of my reservation to be turned away unable to be accommodated. Would not recommend staying here. Was not refunded, still fighting to be refunded from the credit card company.
- llW7027FH (4/5): Beware! Reviews are not accurate! - Do not stay at Nader's Motel & Suites. We have been here since Sunday and the experience has not been pleasant. It has actually been the worst of all of our hotel stays. When we arrived the bathroom was dirty, smelled of dog urine and actually had dog urine and black mold in the bathroom. Wi-fi is slow. In addition, the room service they promise does not take place. You have to be out of your room by 9am or 10am each day to even get towels and daily essentials restocked in your room. The owner and staff on-site are not customer service oriented and could actually care less whether or not you enjoy your stay. Thankfully they do offer a clean bed upon arrival but you will not have your sheets changed, trash tended to, or floors tended to your entire stay. The motel is right off the beach so you will have sandy floors your entire stay. Oh and there's no refund if you decide to leave due to their cancelation policy so you'll be stuck unless you can afford to pay for your reservation at Nadar's and at a new hotel. Thankfully Ludington is beautiful and has so much to do that you're only in your hotel to sleep and get ready each morning so we survived this awful stay but never again and I will be sure that everyone knows to stay elsewhere.
- Robyn (8/5): - ...maybe only have a few rooms for petsmmm
- ldepmom (8/5): Good stay except for 2 (different) young ladies who need more training - I would have given this place 5 stars but giving it 4 for a nu,ber of reasons. First off, we got the most dullest greeting at arrival. The young lady working could not be bothered to even talk to us, let alone share any info on what the property had to offer. We found out as we were checking out that the property offers free bikes for guests to use. We kept seeing the bikes and figured they belonged to other guests but we found out they were there for all to use. Boy, were we disappointed. I would have loved to ride a bike to the beach. I wish we had been told about this or the pool (time it was open, was it heated?). Nope, nothing. Awful. If the owners are reading this, please train tht young lady on how to greet a guest. The other reason was on check out date a super excited young lady (different one) came a knoking on our door bright and early,. Actually she pounded on our door and announced she was housekeeping. Girl, I had until 11. I did not need to see you at 9. Fortunately it was only me she woke up. Not cool. Training needed. Would we stay here again? Yes, we would. it is not cheap but apparetnly it has free bikes, a heated pool and a fire pit everyone can use. The rooms have been updated (we stayed here before and it did not look like this). It's quiet, bright, lots of free parking, close to the beach and downtown. Peace.
- kim (8/5): - 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!
- 118deev (10/5): Love this place - Love this place and I will be coming back... Bicycles, shuffleboard, nice swimming pool, a giant connect four game. Well maintained property, clean inside and out... Thank you Naders for making my trip with my daughter very enjoyable.
- George (8/5): Great - Great !
- Marc (10/5): Great place nice room, loud neighbors! - They need to separate guests, as the walls are very thin!
- David (8/5): - The lady at check in was very nice and she upgraded us for free
- Thomas (10/5): - Very clean non-chain motel ! Love it.
- Gregory (10/5): quiet stay - always clean rooms and comfortable
- belong58 (10/5): Great Stay!! - We stayed at Nader's for just one night while in Ludington for a short visit. Wish we could have stayed longer! This is a great place. We stayed in room #37 - 2 very comfortable beds, super clean, higher end soaps, shampoos etc. There was a great sitting area off the sleeping area - had a couch, tv and table & chairs, as well as a full kitchen. Sliders went out to the lawn and pool area. Obviously, the pool was closed for the season, but it was huge and looked very well cared for. This would be a great summer vacation spot for families. Across the street from the beach and a very pleasant walk into downtown Ludington. And the staff was very friendly, helpful and accomadating. There was nothing we did not like about this place. Just a note - and this is nothing against the motel - all their pillows are feather filled, so if you have an allergy to that like I do, you may just want to throw a pillow from home in your car to take with you. Thanks Nader's for a great stay!
- G2235FRjills (10/5): Perfect for an overnight stay for business. - I have stayed on two separate occasions at Naders in the past month. The front desk was very friendly and accommodating. I have stayed in a ground floor room and a second floor room. Both rooms were great and very comfortable. The location is perfect as it is close to restaurants and the downtown.
- Scott (10/5): - Pleasantly surprised. A two room suite with a balcony for cheap! I would definitely stay here again.
- christianlB7115VV (2/5): Sad - Hateful Judgmental Dismissive. These are words that describe my experience with the owner. The world needs compassion not meanness, I hope she finds and chooses compassion. There are many places to stay the night, eat food, buy groceries, get gasoline; spend your money. Naders, please reflect on how you treat others. Lastly, please learn respect. God bless you.
- Wesley Dakota (10/5): - Has to be the best deal for lodging ever. Clean and convenient. You will be glad you stayed.
- Christina (10/5): - Beautiful, updated room. Staff is considerate and pleasa
- laurafX9583FH (2/5): This motel changed my room rate after booking! - Be careful booking with this motel. I booked a room at one rate, gave my credit card number, and received a confirmation code. I was shocked to receive a call later that the nightly rate would be nearly double what I had paid (!) because of a local event. I was told I could either pay the higher amount or cancel my reservation. Can you imagine if all businesses operated this way??
- Sarah (10/5): - The Accommodations were excellent and very clean. Amazing staff!
- Kathleen (10/5): - Such a cute place to stay and at a great price!! It was clean, WIFI was good, beds were comfort (a little squeaky)
- R (8/5): - Reasonable price and very clean
- Kelley (10/5): - We loved everything about the property and the staff is wonderful..
- Thomas (10/5): - Always courteous and friendly
- Susan K. (10/5): - The room was exceptionally clean, the beds were comfortable, nice view of the pool, walking distance to the beach and the beautiful sunset. Will definitely stay here next year on our trip north.
- 860larat (2/5): Not at all clean. - Was so excited after a long day in the car and really had to pee. Walking into the bathroom I saw the toilet paper roll had less than a 1/4 roll, there was dried poo flecks in the toilet and long hairs on the side of the tub. The bed covers were dingy and looked like someone had been laying on it. Needless to say we did not stay. I’ve owned a cleaning business for 20+ years and if you are seeing this type of negligence walking in, just imagine what you are not seeing. Even with pictures that I showed at the front desk I was still charged for the 1st night. Not the clerks fault who was perfectly nice.
- George (10/5): Wedding weekend. - I was not aware that there was no smoking allowed outside of the rooms. The rooms were clean and nice. My daughter got married on this weekend and she asked for a suite and was given a room with two beds and a table with two chairs so I switched rooms with her so her bridesmaids could be seated on the couch and beds while her hair and makeup were being done.
- Margaret (10/5): - Our room had been recently remodeled so everything felt brand new. Housekeeping was very accessible and helpful.
- Tabitha (10/5): I look forward to returning next year - We had an amazing time. We could walk to the beach if we wanted to from our room. The staff is very nice. This is not my first time staying there and it won’t be my last.
- Cheryl (10/5): - Adorable, would definitely stay here again.
- Darrell (10/5): - Good stay
- Diane (10/5): - The atmosphere is very friendly. They encourage people to play games, swim, sit by a gas fire pit at night. All around great place.
- Rinda (10/5): - We liked the family type ammenities with free bikes, pool, games. We liked the location close to beaches and state park. Our only negative was the squeeky mattresses but they were comfortable. We will definitely stay there again.
- izabela (2/5): Very disappointing!!! - I can’t say it was a good stay because they wouldn’t let me stay! I booked a room with dog friendly, but when we got there they said there wasn’t any rooms available that are dog friendly! Yet I booked the room before hand. I asked if it would be possible to get any room available but they said they won’t allow the dog to come!!After speaking with the owner they promised my money back which they never did!!! We kept being told that they’ll call back yet they never did and the money and time driving was lost. So I do not recommend staying there.
- Tami (6/5): - It was clean and quiet, a very low key. Check in is 3:00 firm. We were in an upper room which was fine for us but wasn't informed there was stairs climb.
- Robert (8/5): - Clean and newly renovated room. Property has good outdoor space for family gathering.
- Azuolas (10/5): Great - Great place to stay
- Kathleen (10/5): Nice room, nice staff, close to lake & town - This was the perfect room for us - - my friend and I was both very comfortable, loved the little kitchen made things very nice for us. Was a little noise from the room over top of us but not too bad. We'd like to take a break again and I would probably pick the same place. Close to Lake Michigan and town made our stay very relaxing. Thank you.
- Stephen (10/5): - This is a beautiful place on the lake. The staff were amazing and accommodating.
- Natalie (10/5): - What a lovely place to stay! Unfortunately, we were only in town for one night, but we will return to take advantage of so many great amenities. Our room was spotlessly clean and the beds and bedding were soft and cozy. My only negative feedback is that there isn’t a traditional bathroom sink. The kitchenette sink doubles as your bathroom sink, which did not bother me, but did feel strange at first.
- Luis (10/5): Wonderful Stay - My whole family had an amazing time there and we will definitely be returning again. Jessica was the best and she took great care of us.
- Lee (10/5): - Wonderful stay. Nice family feel and very clean and maintained. Would def stay again
- Christine (10/5): - Clean, very comfortable beds, great location. We always stay at Naders when visiting Ludington. Would be appreciated if breakfast was offered, even just continental. Other hotels offer breakfast with comparable nightly rates.
- Joseph (8/5): - The property had everything you needed without leaving the property. Very nice place.
- Carrie (10/5): Highly recommend - Excellent stay from chevk in to check out
- Monte (10/5): - The property was in great shape and the room I was in was great
- Esther (10/5): Pleasant Stay - The room was clean and very comfortable! The property was well maintained.
- Robert or Paula (10/5): - Next to beach. Clean, friendly and price was very reasonable. I w we puke highly recommend this place
- Janet (10/5): - Loved the hotel. Super clean, very friendly staff. The best hotel we've stayed in.
- Bonny (10/5): - The only thing that I would say is that some of the amenities that were in the information that I chose to book this hotel we're not available such as the grill and bicycles. It would be nice if that was part of their website that those amenities were not available until Memorial Day weekend. We brought along food to grill but had to use the microwave.
- Peggy (10/5): Very nice. - Very comfortable and clean
- Travis (10/5): - Staff was very friendly, clean room, no complaints whatsoever!!
- Karla (10/5): - Immaculate
- Krystle (10/5): - Super cute clean room. Close to things to walk to. Loved the park, beach and sunset right across the street. We will be back.
- Peggy (10/5): Clean, comfortable, great value! - Everything from check-in to checkout was smooth and pleasant. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. Room was very clean and comfortable, and climate control unit was easy to use. Really appreciated that there was both a fridge and microwave. Would have liked a couple more pillows on the bed; they were comfortable for sleeping, but not supportive enough to sit up and watch TV. Wish the bathroom vanity was a couple inches further away from the toilet. It was difficult for an overweight person (like me) to comfortably "finish the paperwork" so to speak. Would be nice to have a second ice machine. It was quite far from our room. The pros greatly outweigh the cons, and I would not hesitate to stay here again -- and refer my friends!!
- Mathew (10/5): - Great spot. Very friendly hosts. Just outside of downtown. Public Park adjacent. Very clean and updated. I will be coming back.
- Michael (10/5): Clean motel, great price! - The motel was very clean and had nice pillows. Employees were friendly. Can not beat the price! Our room had the bedroom area, kitchen area with microwave and refrigerator and a sitting area with a couch and table and chairs. I would definitely go again and stay there.
- Mark (8/5): - Room was a two room suite with two TVs, which was nice. Neighbors were not very quiet. No housekeeping service, which required me to go to the front desk to get more coffee for day 2.
