Easy to find good parking although pulling out of the parking lot due to the proximity of their sign to the road can be difficult. The room was very clean and comfortable. We didn't use the pool but that looked very clean and other guests were enjoying it

Viking Arms , ludington, MI

The Viking Arms was a great choice. One floor, park in front of your room, pool, c ontinental breakfast and spacious enough for my husband to move around with his walker. No problem amending our stay from 10 nights to 5. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The hot tub wasn’t hot (it was only 98 degrees). Door to the room needs some weather stripping or something to cover the substantial gaps.

The property was convenient to the car ferry dock. The young lady who checked us in did not have a lot of knowledge of the surrounding area when we asked questions about where to go to find things (like local gas stations or a car wash).

Our room had an infestation of Bedbugs (full grown to larvae). We contacted the front desk at 10:30pm to let them know. They kept telling us they were no bugs. We showed them pictures then brought them to the room to show them in person. They finally offered us another room, but upon inspection found the mattress to be stained and gross and questionable whether there were larvae. We said we'd rather leave and find another hotel. They finally agreed to refund our money. I would not stay here again.
