We stayed at this hotel before taking the USS Badger across the Lake. The owners were very welcoming. Despite being a very busy weekend, I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were! I heard absolutely nothing from outside or from neighboring rooms, save for the occasional "beep" of a locking car. Parking is directly in front of your... More

I stayed here for three nights in late May. The rates were the best I found in town. The rooms were scrupulously clean, and the bed extremely comfortable. While my room did not have all of the amenities I'm used to finding in larger/chain motel (refrigerator, microwave), the difference in price more than made up for it. I only gave... More

A very nice year-round motel...with solid AAA-rated quality considering the very reasonable room rate. Owners are wonderful folks and were very hospitable. My November stay was warm and enjoyable. Rooms are just fine, with nice updates including large flat-screen TVs. Spotlessly clean buildings and grounds provided a safe & secure feeling. The lighted gazebo was a nice touch in the... More

I've stayed at theViking Arms several times while on motorcycle trips through Michigan. Dave, Dawn and the dogs are terrific. Contrary to another review, the rooms are always SPOTLESS! Yes, the rooms may look a little dated, but that adds to the charm of the place. It's like staying in an "Ozzie and Harriett" episode but with cable.

I stayed here two nights, everyone was friendly, the room was equipped with an ironing board and a coffee maker no fridge, no breakfast, just coffee and little tiny cartons of OJ. Room was clean and large enough for me to toss a bike in. 69 for a single, maybe a bit on the high side for the mom and... More

Was quiet. Which was refreshing. Rooms were very clean and worth every penny. Best stay on my trip through Michigan. That's sayinn something since I was at 4 other motels. Nice job. Will be back very soon. All ground level rooms. So no walking stairs or taking elevators.

We stayed here for just one night and it was okay. The location is good, the pool is very nice as are the motel grounds. The room was so-so. It was somewhat outdated, which I don't mind, but it also was not very clean. I found a bobby pin on the luggage storage table which indicated to me that it... More

Spent this last weekend in Ludington for a girls getaway and stayed at the Viking Arms Inn. Will definitely stay here again. Staff was very friendly,and rooms were clean and affordable. Close to downtown Ludington and the S.S. Badger. I also liked that it is locally owned and not a chain. Happy to support a local owner.

Maybe it was the sunshine, maybe it was the charm of Ludington on a Friday night. But I think, more likely, it was fact that the owners of this property really care about what they offer travellers--a comfortable bed (it was!), good value, and a lovely pool. This is an old-fashioned "motor court", with an outdoor pool surrounded by one-storey... More
