Relaxing stay

The only bad thing about this inn was the size of the toilet and sink. It was not your standard size but more like a child's size. Everything else was great! Love all the flowers around the Inn. The food was great.

Perfect get away

The stay was exactly what we needed for a quick get away. The breakfast was amazing! You order the day before then the next morning give them your room number and they bring it to you. They also have reservations so it’s not too busy. The bed was very comfortable. Love the garden too. Just perfect!

Hidden Gem

Super clean and cute room. Motel style - but so much better. Quiet outdoor seating area and hot breakfast served on real cutlery! Access to common microwave is a plus, and even a common indoor library space for reading as well.

8/10 Very good

Nice bedding, loud air conditioner.

Older hotel, air conditioner was loud and right beside the bed. Breakfast was really good, staff was friendly and helpful. Lovely Koi pond.
Tina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While the driveway and parking lot is kinda narrow, everything else about the Summer's Inn was amazing. The breakfast service was delicious, and the little koi pond was relaxing. The Inn is not too far from downtown, so we were able to go find places to eat very easy. It is also not very far from Stearns Beach, a free public beach that all the locals seem to congregate to to watch the sunset.

Quaint and Quiet

It doesn't look like much from the road, but the property is quite nice. The rooms are updated and VERY quiet, and there's a cute coy pond and garden just behind the hotel. You also get a few breakfast choices, including quiche, that they make for you as part of the stay. It's only listed as a 2 star hotel, but it is really quite nice. We'd definitely stay again in the future.

Summers Inn Review

The property is old, but is very clean with large rooms. Kind of nice and nostalgic that there is an actual room key that you turn in to a basket before leaving to move on. The shower stall in our room felt like a cave but was clean and served it's purpose. It was quiet and we did not hear any noise from the street or other guests, and we found the lot full of cars in the morning when going to breakfast. They have a nice koi pond with seating area. Also 2 other nice outdoor seating areas covered by pergulas and plants for shade. We found it odd that we had to reserve a time for breakfast, but nice that there was a choice of 2 or 3 breakfast meals. Overall a great stay for us and a very nice. Peaceful place.
