I was surprised by the condition of the room/hotel. I wasn't expecting the Ritz, but based on the rating I guess I expected a bit more. The room we got was nothing like the pictures. The floors were quite dirty,. I wiped up a water spill and unfortunately the towel was black afterwards. It was dirty enough that we ended up using the towel in the room to create a runner of sorts to keep out feet off the floors. There was hair from where someone had shaved on the faucet handles and counter. Large dusty cobwebs above the bed. The shower head was quite clogged which made it so the water only came out in a few random streams. Other things like a broken deadbolt, broken refrigerator and broken toilet paper holder should be addressed.

It is a great place to stay at a reasonable price when fishing in the area. They have coolers available for your fish at the end of the day. Definitely nice for a no frills guy trip.

This is a great location to stay at when going to the Silver Lake Off-road park. it is only 30 min from the park, and a few minutes to downtown Ludington. They have great trailer parking, and good prices. The pool was very nice. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

The people at the Nova were extremely nice and accommodating. They were booked and made room for us. Clean room with new flooring, offered beach towels for the pool instead of just standard size and had fresh coffee ready at 6 am- great little place- will stay again!!

The exterior is rough due to age, but the room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff very friendly and allowed early check-in. Important to know that the room is basic. No frills but the price is right for the area and season.
