Nice experience- it grows on you:)

This place is well loved by the staff and their repeat customers who have been coming for years. It’s a quaint but comfortable inn for adults only and no pets which means quiet, which i loved! Breakfast is staggered- guests select time - this allows for a restaurant experience without chaos. People have already spoken about the well tended gardens and quality food. We rented two rooms. They did not have a frig but it appears some do. The beds are platform beds and sit low to the ground as well as standard toilets- not sure they are queen size? Seem more like double? Though the rooms are older they have uodated the decor- showers are smaller tiled. I felt very safe there. Great location- not too far from shops and shore-

The "secret" garden was very nice and we did not discover until our last night. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was too small and dislike the size of the toilet. It was too low. Would like to see a comfort one. These old bones have difficulty.

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.
