We liked this spot due to its location, the kid who handled the check in was very nice, the bed was comfortable and it was overall very quiet. The room was very dated, the toilet was a slow flush and the bathroom sink was slow draining.

The Ventura is located relatively close to the Ludington Stearns Park beach and Badger Car Ferry docks. The rooms themselves are quite dated and bathroom is small and lacks a vent fan. This lodging option gets the job done but isn't a bargain by any means. There is a modest cold continental breakfast provided. It was fine for me and my traveling partner but was really just four walls and some beds.

Location, location. This is a very old motel that is one block from the beach and one block for town in the other direction. We were in room 26 and both beds were very, very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, with plenty of towels. The only thing I would change would be the old carpeting. They felt damp to your feet but they weren’t. Tile or faux wood floors would make this place a perfect 10.
