Cynthia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hidden koi pond courtyard was perfect for meeting other family members staying at the Inn, and relaxing.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Winnie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Was a good stop prior to taking ferry. Breakfast was a nice touch.
Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Rhonda, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was perfect.
Dan, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Mike, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very private- no pets and just adults. Great staff - very friendly and accommodating. We will return to Summers Inn!
Jeffrey, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It maybe an older motel but our room has been updated and very nice and clean. The bathroom has not been updated however I enjoy the nostalgia of the past. It was clean and very well maintained
Erin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The secret garden with the koi pond was nice and the breakfast was great. Unfortunately the window treatments did NOTHING to block out the light from the parking lot nor the headlights.
April, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I have been here 3 yrs in a row. The property is adult only with NO pets. Must be working, it was filled the 4 nights I was there. The staff is top notch. The koi pond is pure relaxation.
charles, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Unique property in a quiet area near the hustle and bustle of downtown Ludington. There was a hidden garden with a pond and deck for sitting and enjoying the evening and morning coffee. Breakfast (ordered the night before) had a reserved time (which was a bit odd) , but it made it more intimate and allowed the service to be more attentive. We would absolutely return!
Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Katie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Donna, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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
