A Welcome Place to Stay.

Suumer's Inn is a motel harking back to the 60's, but is in better shape and maintained MUCH better than modern motels I have been in. The grounds with a small water feature and nature area was a relaxing oasis. The meal we had in the morning was very good, one of 3 or 4 choices on the menu. The only drawback with the Inn being fully occupied was that parking was a little tight. We were staying at Summer's Inn overnight to catch the car ferry across Lake Michigan and will use them again if the need arises.
A welcoming sight
Beautiful nature area behind the units.

Sibs Weekend Get Together

Our stay at Summers Inn in Ludington was great! The rooms were exceptionally clean and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the garden space in the back was very relaxing. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, especially the quiche…delicious! Although the bathroom was a bit small, the rooms were great.

Restful Haven in Ludington MI

Our room was clean & beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The motel had been modernized & decor is very nice. There are 3 choices for made-to-order breakfast, which are very good. Easy parking by rooms which are all on ground floor. Staff is friendly & helpful.

The garden was a lovely oasis. The motel was a delightful reminder of simpler times. The included breakfast was a surprise. My only real disappointment was the weak coffee.

This property is older but so cute and clean. The breakfast was great. We walked to the town area but it’s a little far. I’d absolutely stay here again.
