Unique 1960s motel with updated features and decor. Staff was very nice. A beautiful outside sitting area with a large koi pond. Convenient to Carferry and downtown. Stayed in a large 2 room King suite which was clean and it had all of the amenities. Small kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, sink, and some dishware. Bathroom was small, but that’s how they used to be back in the day. Other two rooms were very large.

This is a thoughtfully renovated classic motel. Breakfast was very good, out performing other hotels on our journey. Only problem was the noisy air conditioning unit.

It's a excellent place for adults as we have stayed here multiple times and will again. My only complaint is that the pillows in our room were hard and flat. We'll bring our own next time just in case.

Wonderful Stay

Summers Inn is a beautiful place to stay for adults. Very quiet, our room was very clean, and you start your day with a wonderful breakfast served to you. The gardens are pretty and it’s close to the beaches and State Park.

We are so very impressed with Summer's End Inn. It is a very short walk from downtown Ludington. We had a picnic dinner and played games in the garden. The sound of the water flowing into the coy pond was so relaxing.

Relaxing stay

The only bad thing about this inn was the size of the toilet and sink. It was not your standard size but more like a child's size. Everything else was great! Love all the flowers around the Inn. The food was great.

I've stayed here many times, and I keep going back. Clean rooms, great breakfasts, friendly and helpful staff. I feel very much at home here. And, if you're taking the ferry to Wisconsin, it's close and breakfast is served early enough to accommodate travelers leaving that early.
