I also have never written a poor review for a hotel or motel, but I am compelled to warn others about this motel. I feel the desk clerk is in the wrong profession. If you don't want to speak in a friendly manner with people who are on vacation, then you shouldn't work at a motel in a summer resort... More

My husband and I stayed here last year the night before catching the ferry to WI. It was pleasant enough for an overnight stay, and close to the ferry dock. We planned on returning this year with another couple for a second trip to WI. I booked by phone. We were told the cancellation policy was 48 hours in advance... More

I have never wrote a review in my life,that's how strong I feel about warning others. Don't stay at this Inn. I wish now I would have taken pictures.Smells bad I could deal with but the dirty blankets on the beds. Dirty foot prints from shoes, sheets stained,and under the sheets the brown gross mattress pad. Disgusting !!! The carpet... More

We were looking for a place with a pool to spend the night. Ludington was fairly busy so we didn't have a lot of choices left. We rented two rooms late in the afternoon. We were tired from riding the motorcycles all day so decided to go to dinner then visit the pool. Dinner was a little slow and by... More

The room was dirty, promised wireless was not available, AC didn't produce during the night; TV remote did not work, no soap, no tissue, bedspread filthy, as was carpet and shower drain. The owners were surly and not at all helpful. I'm at fault myself for not reading this review before staying. I hope this helps someone else.

We have stayed at the Lakeside Inn on 3 different occasions over the past 2 summers. We love the owners, we love the location, we look forward to going back in the summer of 2012. Sure the rooms are not on par with Marriott or Fairfield Inn. It is a courtyard type motel from the 40s. That is part of... More

This isn't the fanciest or most modern place but it's sufficient and affordable. It was clean and comfortable and right across from Lake Michigan. There were no musty smells and the bathroom was fine. It's within walking distance of the downtown area.The other reviews on this site I found to be unsubstantiated.

If I could rate this as negative stars it would be more appropriate. This place should be shut down! We arrived and were greeted by a fairly rude woman, who then charged us 1069.00 for our room in error and had no idea how to fix her mistake. After she called help, we were given the keys to the dirtiest... More

My trip was completely different ...Although the property was dated, it was very well maintained and cleaned. It was convenient to the beach and skatepark and the pool was very nice! We did not want donuts for breakfast just the hot coffee that was provided. We plan on staying at Lakeside again ... the staff was very nice!

Family of 5 stayed one night. Very small, smelly, dirty bed covers, bathroom was terrible. One small bar of soap, no shampoo, etc. Not even an outlet in the bathroom. Staff was not friendly at all. Pillows were so bad, I went to Walmart and bought some new, cheap ones just so I could sleep through the night. Never touched... More
