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.

Very old school reminded me of Schitt's Creek. Very few electrical outlets, we couldn't charge our 3 items at same time. The breakfast room was remodeled & beautiful

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