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.

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.

There was mold in the shower. Very disappointing because for the most part the hotel was well kept. Hope they get this problem fixed.

Booked last minute and was pleasantly surprised as to how quaint it was. It’s not the latest and greatest but stepped me back in time with an actual room key! Breakfast was surprisingly good as well! Perfect stay of you are taking the ferry the next day!
