"Got a great price on a room with a king-sized bed. Ventura is in a nice location, walking distance to Lake Michigan and downtown. Ample parking, room was pretty clean, but the property overall is a bit run down. Didn’t bother me too much, considering I paid only about 15 bucks more than a campsite at Ludington State Park would have cost me. I was satisfied overall and will return."
