The home is a beautiful historical home. The accommodations were everything we needed. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Sitting out on the porch was so peaceful and serene. The area is residential and very quiet. I loved we could get a cup of tea or coffee complimentary throughout the day. We were within walking distance of great restaurants and a beautiful downtown area. The home had so much character and great sitting areas which is something I love as opposed to a modern hotel.

In town for the weekend visiting old friends. This is an old home on the edge of downtown Summit converted to a peaceful and well kept Inn. Check in and out is easy, with a code issued for 24 hr access to the front door. Nothing really special about the continental breakfast, but it's served in a vintage main floor area with access for an outdoor porch. It is within walking distance of dining options downtown, including the iconic Summit Diner. It's a great option if Summit is your destination. My room was clean and spacious, the bed comfy and the bathroom room was clean and well stocked. Do keep in mind, this is an old converted home, so all the rooms are a little different and not without their minor design quirks, as opposed to a brand new hotel meticulously designed with the modern traveler in mind. But, I found it very charming, quiet and restful, which was perfect for me.

This is a very nice "bed and breakfast" type establishment, just outside of downtown Summit. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed, you can easily walk to downtown and the breakfast has a nice selection of breakfast bread and pastries. I would stay here again.

Location for Summit, New Jersey is always perfect. I’ve stayed at this hotel five or six times, and keep coming back. I won’t be coming back to this particular room from this trip. It was smaller than I expected it to be and kind of difficult to walk around in. Room 3 is located behind the main staircase and I could hear everybody that went up and down the stairs all night. The bed was also quite tired and the pillows need to be replaced. The breakfast was fine, as it usually is, but not spectacular. All in all this hotel is good value for money, but I won’t be booking this particular room again.

Conveniently located. Clean room. Comfortable bed. Easy check-in even without an attendant available. Breakfast offering was a bit less than what is generally served at a bed and breakfast type inn. Continental help yourself with no warm items (i.e., eggs, breakfast meats, etc.). Would still stay again when in the area.
