The DeBary Inn

This was one of the best hotel experiences I have had recently. From the book lined entrance to the library /​reading room to the very well laid out breakfast, this was the bibliophile’s ultimate country estate experience — in the middle of New Jersey! My room was exceptionally well appointed, very clean, and quiet. The checkin was a breeze and Jimmy was friendly and attentive.
Highly recommended.

Enjoyed my stay here — this hotel is clean, easy going, quiet and well priced. The location is great as you can easily get around Summit/​Short Hills/​and other areas in New York. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Just finished a 4 night stay at The Debary Inn. Great experience. In keeper Jimmy was friendly and helpful. Top floor room was very nice and well appointed. Nice included breakfast offering each morning. Walking distance to downtown Summit and only 30 min train ride to Penn Station NYC. A perfect place for traveling execs or a weekend away. I will be back.

Absolutely wonderful Inn in downtown Summit. We frequent the DeBary as an «in-​town getaway»…truly a wonderful place to relax and enjoy close access to the downtown shopping, markets, and restaurants! When we have visiting relatives we often send them here so they too can experience our wonderful town via a short walk! Highly recommended… clean and staff is wonderful!

We had a small room on the first floor — right behind the reception desk. $ 130 is too much for this room which fits a queen-​size bed and not much else.
There were some additional disappointments. As I helped myself to some hot water in the nice downstairs common area, I noticed cups that were not quite clean and had some trouble finding a clean one. In the morning, breakfast items were not all fresh. My wife’s Greek yoghurt was well past its prime. Some of the breakfast pastries were dried out. Nothing was freshly prepared.
The DeBary Inn is a beautiful place but some of the services are not on the same level and some rooms are overpriced.

My husband and I found The DeBary Inn via an internet search because we were looking for a spot to stay after flying in to the Newark Airport. Our stay was on New Years Eve after a long cross country trip — we were pleased to find our room (eight) at the top of the stairs… it was the perfect haven to spend our last night of vacation. The Inn was very quiet, I believe we were the only guests, perhaps another couple. I found everything to be clean, tidy, and inviting. Our room was very spacious and had a fireplace, comfortable king bed, and large bathroom. I was also pleased to find so many outlets for charging our phones, computers, etc — I always hate when I can’t find well-​placed outlets. We had a bit of trouble with the fireplace, but a call to the innkeeper cleared it up. He was very nice to address our concerns at 10 PM on NYE.
After a great nights sleep, we came down for breakfast and were greeted by the innkeeper. We chatted a bit because we were all from southern California. The only reason I can’t give the Inn a five-​star rating was due to the breakfast — it was average at best and contained no hot items like eggs or bacon. Perhaps I have been spoiled by previous experiences at B&Bs, but I expected something more than cereal, english muffins, hard boiled eggs, and yogurt. (Want an amazing B&B breakfast experience? Check out the Bozrah House in CT!) In any case, aside from breakfast, we had a fantastic stay and plan to return! Note: They offer a AAA discount — $ 10 off.

It was a great place, gorgeous room and a comfortable bed close to the rehab center and to dinner at Huntly Tavern .the only thing is we mentioned why we were there and could’ve got a 10% discount but we didn’t ask for it specifically. Referred the rest of my family members to the inn

Pros: pretty neighborhood, our room was nice. Close to lots of shops and restaurants
Cons: breakfast is pedestrian stuff that a Hampton Inn might put out.
Odd: There is an expectation that you figure out a great deal on your own including checking yourself in. The staff are available by email or cell phone and they will offer to come over if there is a problem. I guess I would call them uninvolved unless invoked. When we met them they seemed nice but this arrangement is not for everybody.

All my complaints and concerns have been addressed. The top floor room #14 is great — lots of stairs, though.
Thanks for making changes and becoming awesome!
