McKayla at the front desk was wonderful! While the maids didn’t end up coming into our room, McKayla was always there to give us what we needed. The vending machines didn’t have any diet soda, the only option was out. But that’s not that big of a deal. The rooms will have sand in them, you are on the beach! But they give you a broom which was awesome! Bring shoes you want to wear inside the room, because it’s impossible to keep them perfect. We stayed 2 nights and will absolutely be back. It was family friendly for our twins, and within walking distance to a playground on the beach. We loved the watching the sunsets and seeing the Badger take off and return. I would say, the shower needs an update, but the rest of the room was updated. Now that we have a boat we will definitely be back!! Thanks Shoreline Inn!

The location is awesome, the room was decent, loved the morning coffee in the lobby, staff was great. The pool wasn’t clean it was cloudy, the hot tub had a green cast. Our shower was nice great water pressure but there was mildew around the seam in the shower. The toilet tissue holder was sprung and old. It felt like the owner was doing the bare mint. It really could have been great if there was more attention to detail.

The room was so small two of us struggled to get past each other for the door or bathroom. The AC was erratic -temperature control didn't seem to make any difference. The air conditioner was right by the bed and blew my hair while I was trying to sleep! The bathroom had no shelf or any place to set my cosmetics, hair brush or curling iron. Everything had to be under the sink which was difficult.
There was a suspicious spot on the bedspread but the staff happily changed it. Had to request a second set of towels which the staff happily provided. Beach view is across the highway but okay.
Won't be staying here again.

We spent two nights while visiting family. The room was on the 2nd floor with a balcony looking out on the beach and Lake Michigan. The sunsets while reclining on our deck were perfect!
Our stay was midweek which might explain how quiet it was at night. Our room was clean and well kept. The one drawback is we wish we’d realized there is no elevator, so luggage had to be carried up two flights of stairs.

Great location, very friendly and helpful front desk attendants. I had an economy room so it was pretty much what I expected. Could use some TLC. Water slow to drain in n the sink. Rusted toilet paper holder. Overpriced for sure. You will be paying for the location, Keep that in mind. I had a leak in the toilet in the first room, but they were quick to move to another room with no problem. Overall I rate this hotel average. The staff is very friendly tho. If you want to be close to the beach this will work if not then I recommend looking at other options.

I got a patio which was nice. The bathroom however is what changed my rating. The shower had mold along the bottom of the shower..pretty thick.. so I'm not sure that anyone has looked/scrubbed it in a long time. There was mold along the silicone as well. Simple hyperchlorite from DG would help this. There also was no place to hang more than 1 towel. No wash rag or toiletries rack. A night night would've been helpful..safety factor

We were there 3 days and I only took a shower once because it was so bad. I actually swam in the pool to get somewhat clean. Most of the staff was really nice except one man that was at the courtesy desk in the evening was so rude when I asked that our bathroom get recleaned. It never got recleaned.

The only good thing I could say about this place was that it is very well located. Now the bad, it is severly in need of updates. Like shut down as long as it takes and pour some serious capital into upgrades. The toilet had a leak around the base so they caulked it. That doesn't help, it just cause the water to pool under the toilet and seek a new path or promote mold. Our matress was not hotel grade. I could go on and on. All this for the exorbitant price of $190 a night! I have no idea how this place had an 8.2 rating on Expedia!

I had a room with water view. The sliding glass door had a broken lock. We could not lock the door. This is unacceptable. When we got to our room after a long day or touring the town we opened the door to sit outside for a little bit. When we came in and tried to lock the door we noticed it was broke. By this time it was too late for us to request a new room and move all of the items we unpacked. (We were exhausted). I don't know how you can rent a room with NO LOCK. Please refund my payment to me.

By the way, I did tell the staff the next day and they said there was nothing they could do for us with a credit because we booked through a 3rd party (Expedia). I am beyond upset a room would be rented with a broken lock on the door. they said they would report it to maintained for repair. I have a hard time believing we were the first to complain of this situation.

Just got back from Ludington. 2 night stay. Room 201 was a 2 bedroom where you almost break your ankle on the step down stair right when you walk in. Rusty curtain rods in both rooms and A/C units I felt I was going to get Legionares disease from. TV in room 129 never worked. The bathroom walls were patched haphazardly for towel rods being pulled out and poorly fixed. The toilet was one of those $39 builder grade ones that was round and only sat 7-8\" off the ground. I could barely stand up from it. Happy to be home. Other than location...find another motel that has been remodeled since 1993....1/10 for location. 0/10 for comfort. 0/10 if I would ever stay here again. NO WAY. The pic of the toilet was from room 201. Just burn the place down

The room was spacious and clean. The front desk and housekeeping staff was helpful, WiFi was decent, excellent beach view tv but tv remote doesn’t have input button, we had a bad rain during our stay, and the water got inside the patio door because our unit is not covered patio.
We booked 2 rooms through Expedia, when we signed up, from the picture both rooms were supposed to have hot tubs and covered patios but instead we got the rooms without hot tubs and only one of the rooms with covered patio. It was disappointing. Hopefully in the future Expedia will sell the rooms look exactly the same as the rooms it advertises in the picture. Overall it’s always a nice stay for us at Synder Shoreline Inn 😊

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Guests in another room did not obey the no smoking rule. It was quickly taken care of.
The outdoor pool was open, but it wasn't very clean and some of the tiles had fallen into the pool.It is very early in the season, so we are hoping this will be fixed by our next stay.
We will definitely be staying here again!

We recently stayed at Snyder's Shoreline Inn and it was an absolute gem for the price! You're basically steps from the beach—seriously, you can hear the waves and smell the fresh air the second you step outside. Location is fantastic if you want that classic shoreline vibe without breaking the bank.
The room was spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. But the real standout was the staff—they were phenomenal! Rachel, Christina, Terry, and every single person we interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely funny. They had us laughing from check-in to checkout and made us feel like old friends. That kind of warm, fun service is rare and turned a simple getaway into a memorable one.
Now, fair warning with a chuckle: the showers are... cozy. If you're over 200lbs or trying to squeeze in there as a couple, good luck! It’s basically a one-person sardine can! We turned it into a comedy routine every morning, but hey, it was clean and the water pressure was solid. Just something to keep in mind if you need elbow room.
Overall, for the unbeatable location and price, plus that outstanding staff, we would happily stay here again. Highly recommend Snyder's Shoreline Inn for anyone looking for a no-frills, beach-close escape with heart. 5 stars

There is a thermostat but from what I could tell no heat source in back room. No ceiling lights in rooms and no lighting in the kitchennete. The toilet is so high off the ground on a pedestal your legs can swing. The windows frames have lots of dust and the windows themselves are dirty. The bathtub has black or moldy caulk around it.
