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.

Summer's Inn is a beautiful motor lodge. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay complete. The coi pond was right behind our room and beckoned you to come and relax. The room was spacious and modern. Though the bathroom was a bit small and dated, it was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. I would definitely recommend Summer's Inn to any friends or family passing through Ludington.

Summers Inn is a nice motel. The staff at the office and the breakfast area were very nice and polite. The bathroom in the room was small. Which is typical for the older motels. But, it was very clean. Breakfast was handled differently than most motels. You chose what you wanted the night before along with a time to eat the next morning. Worked great in my opinion.

Facility was average overall. Outside around buildings was excellent. Room was average at best. Remodeling needed. Room furniture was cheap and not very usable. Not very flexible for the breakfast provided. Had to have a reservation for the breakfast that was included and make your limited breakfast selection a day in advance. Food was fine though.

Stay @SI in any season

Great customer service! Traveling and needed a place to stay near the SS Badger as part of a longer road trip. Received a call alerting us of the office closing time 9pm CST, how to access room with easy late check-in, and to take our breakfast order. Room was quite cozy and met our basic needs for brief stay. Breakfast was delish, and SI was only minutes away from the dock. Will look to rebook when back in Ludington! (Also recommend eating lunch at The Wharf when docking in Manitowoc)

Nice, clean, good value

Clean and well maintained retro style hotel. Very friendly staff. Choose from 3 breakfast options that will be prepared and ready for you at the time you specify. Very convenient location if you are sailing on the SS Badger.
