Your first walking into hotel you meet stain all over carpeting and an old musty smell.....The old couple that run this joint are about as friendly as a piece of wood.....the over all look of the place is unreal.....nothing is straight anymore in this place where you check in the main header is off about 6 inch in one corner...if... more

I was here for a wedding and the Stearns does have a lovely facility for weddings. I was impressed in that respect. The hotel, as already mentioned, is old. Not old-quaint, not old-charming, just old. The rooms were decently clean, although smelled (as did the entire hotel) of stale cigarettes and was musty. There was no iron or ironing board... more

She further explained to me that since it was a tournament weekend I would be braceleted and guard checked at the door and my... more

This is a hotel in downtown Ludington, a city on the beaches of Lake Michigan in North/West Michigan. Nice tourist city. It is old. Not charming. I stayed because of the low rate of $39.00 (off summer season rate). Carpets are very old and dated. The bed was springy. Literally, I could feel the spring coils. The water pressure was... more
