I stayed here this past weekend (9/22/2023) and I could not have been happier with my stay!…read more I grew up in Summit but had never actually been inside of the hotel. I have no family left in this part of NJ, so when I needed to book lodging for a wedding, this hotel was a great choice! I'll get the ding out of the way first. The hotel is under construction, so the atrium, the Hat Tavern, and several other areas of the hotel are closed. In addition, there was construction noise, although it was not terrible. The construction and lack of access to several of the amenities was not disclosed on the hotel's website. I still would have booked my stay here; it just would have been nice to know about it ahead of time, especially as it was a rainy weekend so access to the Hat Tavern would have saved a lot of getting rained on! The future plans for the hotel sound really exciting - a private dining club, a Turkish hammam and spa. Our room had already been renovated and was a huge upgrade from the photos on their website. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had great pressure. The bed was extremely comfortable as well! I definitely had a hard time getting up every morning! The included breakfast (7AM- 10AM) was extensive and very much welcome, especially given the weather. Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful! On our day of departure, our flight was not until 7:30PM. They gave us late check out (1PM) and stored our bags so we could be mobile. We had a leftover bottle of champagne (what?!). When we returned to the hotel after our rainy adventures with an hour or so to kill before heading to the airport, the woman at the front desk got us an ice bucket and some glasses so we could sit in the lobby and enjoy the smooth jazz on the sound system. It was a super relaxing way to spend our last hour in NJ before the horror of the airport.

I recently stayed at Hilton Short Hills and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautiful,…read moreelegant, and very well maintained. The lobby and common areas create a welcoming atmosphere, and the property has a luxurious feel from the moment you arrive. The hotel is conveniently located directly across from The Mall at Short Hills, making it a great choice for both shopping and relaxation. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the amenities throughout the hotel were excellent. I especially appreciated the indoor and outdoor pool areas and the overall attention to detail. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Whether you're visiting for business, a weekend getaway, or a special occasion, this hotel offers a great combination of comfort, convenience, and upscale accommodations. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Short Hills area.

I stayed here for a few nights and liked the suites. It was like a small one-bedroom apartment…read more The rooms were clean. The mattress was a tad soft, but acceptable. Staff was friendly. 1 star off: Even though the hotel is located in a residential area, there was still quite a bit of street noise. The walls were thin and either construction noise or a neighbor's alarm woke me up every morning. Breakfast was included. There was a Starbucks conveniently located right in the lobby, i.e. you can roll out of bed and get a coffee without putting on the whole gear to go outside in the cold. Happy hour occurs every afternoon, and upon check-in, I was given a few drink tickets. I didn't end up using them, but it was a nice add-on.

This is the first more modern Embassy Suites I have stayed in. No river with ducks and fish, no…read moreglass elevator, no open ceiling center with floors of overlooking rooms, but still very inviting with a clean, high ceiling entry and modern fireplace. There was also a large Christmas tree outside when I walked up. Now for what's the same as in get past... omelette bar! Complimentary hospitality hour with adult beverages and snacks (be sure get a ticket at the desk if you check-in on the app), large spacious rooms and bathrooms with modern updates! I love the proximity of this hotel to the Newark airport (around 25 minutes away). I also love that there is a Starbucks and restaurant (grain and cane) downstairs for convenience. I took advantage of both for an evening beverage (they Starbucks closes at 6pm) and dinner. This hotel is located in a quiet business area and I love that there is ample free lot parking which I've found to be quite rare with Jersey hotels! The front desk staff are very nice and even took the time to ask how my dinner was! This also seemed to be a very popular wedding guest hotel based on large groups I saw checking in and wedding guest gifts behind the desk. I'll be sure to consider this hotel as an option next time I'm in the area, especially before a flight out of EWR.

REVIEW AS EVENT SPACE ONLY (SECRET TEA ROOM):…read more I attended a baby shower held at the DeBary Inn in Summit last weekend. This was my first time inside the building, which was built circa 1880, and also at a Cream Tea. It was a lovely experience! Secret Tea Room is a pop-up company that creates classic English tea party experiences. They host events at four locations - DeBary Inn and Reeves-Reed Arboretum (Summit), Morven Museum and Gardens (Princeton), and Van Vleck Gardens (Montclair). Great attention to details! Everyone loved the table settings and chinaware. The loose leaf teas were wonderful; that day, we had an apple cider, Ceylon, and green tea. Then came out the tiers. Oh, the scones! The scones are baked on premise, so they were fresh and delicious. At one point, the hosts also walked around table to table with fresh scones from the oven. It was so nice. I overheard a guest from another table joke, "Oh, you can leave the tray of 17 right here for us please. Thank you!" lol Because it's December, the DeBary Inn was decorated for the holidays with a lighted tree. Many guests took selfies in the living room/greeting area. It was a cute venue and party concept for a baby shower!

I checked out early after issues related to the hotel's pantry area, which is located directly…read morebeside my room. Another guest -- whose room was actually inside the pantry space -- confronted my company late at night for making coffee, claiming we were being "too loud." While I understand the challenges of shared spaces, this setup should be clearly disclosed at booking, especially if it falls under a "run of the house" rate. Guests deserve to know they may be placed next to, or even within, an active pantry area with unavoidable noise and foot traffic. What made the situation worse was the complete absence of staff during evening hours. With no concierge or on‑site support, there was no way to report the incident, request assistance, or ensure our safety when faced with a potentially volatile guest. Being left to manage the confrontation alone was unacceptable and felt unsafe. What made the situation worse was the complete absence of staff during evening hours.

You will feel like you are in a movie. The restaurant is expensive and ok. The drinks are small. $20 for a tiny glass of wine. The martinis according to my husband were horrible. The menu is somewhat limited but what we had was ok. The waitstaff was really nice! The rooms: obviously old now renovated. Comfortable. Not luxurious. Not large. But fine. I'd stay a night for the atmosphere and the location is great! But I prefer the short hills Hilton or now renovated Madison hotel for serious hotel stay time.

They have sharp floors that are grated. We stayed while it rained and made sure we were on the 3rd floor for coverage, but it doesn't matter. The rain comes through, we just wanted to sit and have coffee. There's a light you cannot turn off, and the heating/cooling system is on every balcony so even if you turn tryouts off you hear everyone else's. You might as well have no balcony. But it's still worth the visit. Such a great hotel but the balcony's are awful. And no privacy, can see the people above you and below you. It's honestly just for show. Other than that I'd stay again and not get a balcony room. I think it's to deter smoking but it's not even cozy, it's sharp, and not private. Great view but there was a wedding so saw everyone on the balconies and can hear and see everyone, they need to be designed to be functional not for show.

My room had a slightly dusty floor, based on what I saw on my socks when I took them off, but everything else was spotless, especially the bathroom, which is most important to me. My shower had great water pressure and more than enough hot water, so bonus points there! The door stuck as another Yelper noted, but I could easily shut it completely with minimal effort, so not an issue for me at all. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel provided in the shower stall, and facial soap bar, lotion, and mouthwash, which was more bonus points, as I've never seen this provided and I don't like to bottle my own and seal it to bring when I travel! Big screen TV with HBO is in the room, and my king bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. There were plush bath robes for my use in the closet, but I didn't use them. They were also for sale at front desk. Free breakfast is included, which is in a very nice dining room in the lower level. Breads, cereals, fresh fruit, fruit juices, yogurt, bottled water, and hot food items are provided. I enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon, and potato wedges on my visit. There was also a waflle iron available, and there was an attendant ensuring everything was kept up and food replenished. There is an on-site restaurabt and bar called Moe's, where colleagues and I had a beer and dinner the night before. I didn't take photos, but I enjoyed grilled shrimp with polenta cakes with a mushroom sauce. Service was good. The dining room and bar were dark with dark colors, so maybe an update with lighter colors and better lighting would add some life and a better atmosphere. Overall, I was very happy with my stay, and I thought it was a great value! I would stay here again and recommend it.

I'm (unfortunately) staying for 4 nights, so yesterday early morning, just around 7am, I requested that they clean my room. I left, and returned about 4:30pm. It was untouched!!! They said they could send someone to clean when I complained,, but at this point I had a long day at work and needed to get into my room to relax. I wish there was a closer hotel to our office. Now I know why other people in my company choose to stay at the Hyatt or Archer. I'll book the Archer from now on. It's a few minutes further away, but it's just a better hotel.
