We were in town to visit family. I was there with my mother. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The room we stayed in had two beds, 2 closets and a large bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. A little outdated. The location was perfect for everything we had planned during our stay.

Disappointed stay.

The DeBary Inn is beautiful as far as properties go but that's all. The home needs extra TLC and a deep clean. My husband and I stayed in room 4. The room had a musty smell, needs new mattress and deep clean. We had an uncomfortable stay but were only there for 2 nights so tried to make the best of it. The floors creak very loudly, whoever was staying in the room above us we heard every step all night long, felt like the ceiling was going to come down on us. We had a hard time falling asleep because of this and the uncomfortable bed. The Inn had breakfast available for guest but definitely not what an Inn breakfast should have. No home made treats, store bought muffins, cold eggo waffles etc. The only great thing was the location in Summit, NJ. I would not stay there again.

It's a charming inn. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The wrap around porch is a great place to sit and have your morning coffee. The free (cold) breakfast was delicious. My room, #2, was somewhat of a downer. The full sized bed was just OK and a few times I thought it was going to collapse. The TV was maybe 40", which is small but it had lots of cable channels. No Netflix, YouTube, etc. More pluses than minuses. Oh I noticed an EV charger in the parking area. The Inn deserves a lot of credit for installing an EV charger. I debated staying at the Short Hills Hilton. I am glad that I chose the DeBarry.

Lovely stay with a sense of nostalgia.

I love the look and the feel of early American on the East Coast. For the one night in Summit, New Jersey, I stayed at this old colonial house that was built in the late 1800’s. The house was simply but thoughtfully furnished, and the wraparound porch was especially charming. The nostalgic decorations and all the traces of the past were particularly appealing to me.😍
