I needed a last minute getaway out of Los Angeles and found a room at the Inn on Summerhill on their website the night before I checked in. Our room was absolutely beautiful. Usually, when I book hotel rooms online, I end up somewhat disappointed when I actually see the room. This was not the case with the Inn on Summerhill. The room exceeded my expectations, even better than the pictures online, and the ocean view was spectacular. It's great that every room has a full ocean view...this is rare with most beach properties (especially at the great rates that they offer here.) The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (probably the best hotel staff I've ever come across, and I travel somewhat frequently), from helping us with suggestions on where to go for food to letting us check out a little later with no problem...and I had accidentally left a dress in the room after checking out, I called the hotel and within a day they mailed it out to my home. Got an amazing rate, a beautiful room, and great service...couldn't ask for much more for a last minute getaway!
The only downside is that the hotel is situated just east of the 101 freeway, so if you're sitting outside on your patio or balcony, you do hear the cars going by. But, in the room with the sliding glass door shut, you can't hear a thing...and even with the doors open, Summerland does not seem to be too busy traffic wise so it's not that bad. We still enjoyed our lunch and dinner out on our patio with the beautiful ocean view.
