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.

Great location
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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The space is really small. The TV was tiny. I almost couldn’t believe I paid money to stay in a room so poorly updated. I guess it was only 80 dollars but I don’t understand why it hasn’t been renovated since 1982. We still managed to have a good time in spite of these hurdles with the room.

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.
