Linda, East Hanover

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
We were in room 16, which I didn’t realize had a separate bathroom. My husband didn’t really like that! So, it was a little inconvenient as we both use the bathroom during the night!

Thank you, Linda, for taking time to write us a review. The written description of the room does indicate the bathroom is "external", but most people just choose the lowest price as their deciding factor. The Debary Inn has many other styled and various sized rooms to offer, so we sincerely hope you will return in the future to give us another try.

I love that the property has significant historical value. It is conveniently located in the town of Summit, NJ. It’s unique and very comfortable. There’s a variety of restaurants and shops all within walking distance. It’s also convenient to the train station to New York. I enjoyed a very pleasant stay.

Lovely historic property with welcoming manager/owner. Ample continental breakfast provided in the dining room. I recommend this property as a quiet refuge from city buzz and traffic. The only negative is misnamed "Vestibule" room which is 3 flights up. Nothing wrong with the room itself, it just is not an anteroom between outside the house and its interior.

Room 16 is awful…didn’t reveal that bathroom is across the hall…want my money back. I suspect there are other “surprise” rooms.

Response from Innkeeper of the DeBary Inn on Sep 20, 2023
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We deeply regret that your recent stay did not meet your expectation. However, you pick the room when you make your reservation. We have 16 rooms that are all different. The room that you booked is clearly labeled that the bathroom is "external". It is the only one in the inn like that. Perhaps a "box hotel" suits you better...

In all fairness, we arrived late and did not have a chance to explore the common area. It looked very nice, but we were tired and went to bed. Great communication from the hotel prior to check in and easy check in and out. Since we were only staying one night I got the least expensive room and it was very small, the sink was in the bedroom and it faced the Main Street. There was only one robe. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. We could hear the TV from the room next door. The area is very nice but we were not able to stroll around because of smoke from the fires in Canada that totally overcame most of the east coast. If we we’re staying more than one night I would have changed my room for something in the back and something bigger.

One of our biggest amenities is the excellent walkable location to all downtown Summit has to offer. We hope to see you again soon for you to explore more. Happy trails!
