    Excellent customer service, easy check-in/out, and great location. Ask for a room away from the street for less noise. Fine overall, but as is typical in the area, quite expensive for a somewhat standard room lacking in luxury.

    The Inn at Summer Hill is a quaint little hotel with lots of charm in the city of Summerland. I stayed here while visiting my niece and I would definitely stay here again. The room was like a little cottage, and it had a patio that overlooked the ocean. The staff at the front desk was amazing and went out of their way to comp me breakfast and coffee. I felt very safe as well. The only negatives are the Road Noise and nearby train and there doesn't seem to be a daily cleaning service-if so, they missed my room.

    Anniversary staycation

    We ended up here for a last minute staycation for our anniversary. Beautiful room, beautiful view. Friendly staff. Got upgraded to a breakfast and happy hour which you usually only get booking direct. My only complaint and it’s kind of a big one is our shower didn’t work…at all. Didn’t realize until late at night so didn’t want to bother staff. We let them know at check out and they said they would have someone look into it, but I was disappointed that there was no discount offered due to this. For almost $500 I expected to be able to take a shower. This is a lot of $$ for us and definitely a splurge, so it’s a bit disappointing. But that aside it was the perfect getaway.

    We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little inn. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was full of thoughtful touches—including a sound machine, which we set to ocean waves. It completely drowned out any highway noise, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. We’ll absolutely be back!
