Convent, clean, nice outdoor sitting areas including coy pond and a pergola. Good breakfast. Located right at the beginning of the historic home district. If I was not comparing a motel to nice hotels, I would give this place a 5. I would stay here again.

First time at Summer’s Inn and I will definitely return! The room was great and has all you need for a long holiday weekend- small refrigerator, nice sitting area and a very comfortable bed. The daily breakfast was fantastic! Staff are friendly and we felt very welcome. It was like a step back in time to the 1960s.
