The unit was well equipped for a studio, with a microwave and hot plates for cooking. It was clean and comfortable and, though it was a Saturday night, there was little road noise. However, we weren't tempted to sit out on the deck which looked a little shabby. The host was helpful and friendly, and we thought it was good... More

A little street noise in the morning, next time I would stay on other side of motel, away from street, hosts very friendly, rooms nice and clean, ice in freezer. Warm welcome and farewell. Spa or small pool out of action when I was there

Stayed here for 3 nights. The place is AMAZING, perfect – too cheap for what it offers in fact! Thank you a nice lady who made me laugh when I checked in on Valentines Day while Judith and Mike were away and we continued talking about receiving red roses the next morning when you serviced my unit. Congratulations on such... More

My wife and I stayed at the Summit Motor Lodge on January 23, 2013. The owners gave us excellent directions to several restaurant choices for dinner and were more than happy to give us any information regarding local stores and attractions. We needed a grocery store and were lucky enough to have one within walking distance. The owners were great... More

Title sums it all, we stayed in an executive studio with its own kitchen and bathroom. For the price we paid it was very well worth it! Location is great with only a 5 minute drive to the city, we got plenty of groceries and cooked our own meals. Mike was very warm and cheerful in welcoming us when we... More

If you have kids, this accomodation is perfect. There are 3 single beds and a queen bed in a 1 bedroom unit. Across the road is a gas station, dairy, and... More

Arrived late after a long trip down and the host Mike couldn't have been friendlier. Checked in and was within my room in 5 mins max. The room was lovely if a bit hot at times and while the bathroom decor is stuck in the 70s style it is comfortable and works well without a hassle. Didn't get a chance... More

The Summit is a modern, clean and comfortable motel in a quiet location with no road noise, and only a short easy drive to the town center. The view from the up-stair units is spectacular across the town towards the sea. Judith and Mike went out of their way to provide excellent service including holding mail prior to our arrival...

Wow! This is a real gem of a motel. It is at the upper end of the price range we are willing to consider for a weekend getaway but represents excellent value for the money. The owner who greeted us at the front desk was extremely welcoming and efficient. He sorted us out quickly with a room and provided us... More
