The bathroom was dirty the floor has not been mopped in a while. Walls were dirty in there and vents clogged with dust. I had to wash off the table where we ate at. You could see dried up rings where maybe a can had sat.
We always stay at the Viking Arms when it’s off season. Quiet, and always friendly. This time they switched our room since the one they originally booked was too close to the road and noisy.
The room had been updated and was nice. The heating thermostat did not work and the room was 80 degrees, too warm. There were ants in the bathroom, alive and dead. My key card was inoperable in the morning.
It was at a close location for our visit. The room we were put in was not the same as pictured when I booked the room & it was close to the road & you could hear the road noise.
The staff was friendly and made a point to say hi when we were out going to the vehicle.
I felt the bathroom needed up dating & the tub stopper had something in it that I was able to remove before my wife would take a bath.
I would give this motel a 4.2 rating.
The only problem was that the TV remote didn't work well at all. Even at the lowest volume, the TV was too loud. The buttons needed to be pushed hard also, and several times in order to work.
Otherwise, this was about our 3rd stay at this motel, and it is always clean and comfortable.
It was ok for the price I paid off season. I didn’t like that at night you could see light coming in all around the outside door, although the door locked ok. My 3 stars means it was ok, nothing that was terribly wrong but probably wouldn’t stay there again.
Room was exactly as advertised in the pictures online. Nice and clean, smelled good upon arrival. Easy check in, friendly staff. Stayed on a Friday night in October, not too busy. Perfect for the price. Would stay here again.
The room was clean but very dated. We have had worse mattresses but it was pretty bad, we left about 5:00 AM because we just couldn't sleep anyway and decided to drive home. The room rate was great but you get what you pay for sometimes....
Bed was ok, but the tv was small. Very strong smell of curry in the check in office area. Shower head was awful, no ice machine on property and no trash receptacles outside. The positive was a cute gazebo.
Always friendly, clean and quiet. Stay here everytime we come to ludington.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Imagine an old motel 6 that someone has tried to update, while the furnishings are updated the bathroom is horrible. Small shower that flooded the bathroom floor due to curtain setup. No hooks o bar for towels so there piled next to the sink. There's no bathroom picture for a reason. The bed was clean but old, broke down and uncomfortable. Air conditioner/ heater was noisy and needs to be updated. If you book through a third party service they require a credit card or cash security deposit for damage at check in. This was a problem as I wasn't comfortable giving them my credit card. The place will do in a pinch but could be better.
It is very well maintained The owners obviously care about thier property. Lovely gazebo and flowers, spaious room with updated USB ports, quiet, large room with refrig and microwave.
Had a 3 day stay at this property. Enjoyed the pool and warm hot tub. Room and bed were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if our travels take us back to Ludington.
Thebhot tub suit is nice clean and c9mes with fire place. We had much better stay in there suite and was very comparable to othe hotels standered room pricing.
Overall good. Quiet. Clean. But the air conditioner smelled like a barn when you first turned it on and front desk wasn’t very helpful. There also wasn’t a breakfast as advertised.
