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…

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…

Questions about Inn on Summer Hill

What time is check-in and check-out at Inn on Summer Hill?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Inn on Summer Hill allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Inn on Summer Hill?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Inn on Summer Hill have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Inn on Summer Hill?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
