Great place to stay for pleasure or business. I am a business traveler and this Inn provides a nice break from the Hiltons and Marriotts etc. The Inn is only a few blocks from a wide variety of restautants and shops including a small movie theatre. The staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable. Wireless is included as well as breakfast. The neighborhood is safe and if you like to walk there are many beautiful streets to explore. There is also a train to NYC within walking distance.

We've stayed at the DeBary Inn several times now. It is a charmingly restored old place and is very handy to the train station, shopping and dining. My only complaint is that its breakfast is better suited to a Hampton or Courtyard, just a cold, limited buffet with an occasional offer to "fry you an egg." Fortunately, there are two breakfast places nearby.

My wife and I recently stayed at the DeBary Inn, Summit, NJ. We enjoyed the ambiance of the house and grounds. These, we enjoyed.

However, there were a couple issues that made this inaugural visit less than satisfactory.

These issues were:

On initial contact (by phone) to make a reservation, I was assured that I would be contacted with the reservation confirmation and related information. This did not happen; I waited a week before contacting the Inn again and speaking with a different person to complete the reservation.

We arrived at the Inn after the staff had left for the day (not a problem, the instructions for the outside door worked fine). Our first night (Saturday, July 14) there was no air conditioning or fans in our room (outside temps and humidity were very high; consequently the room was
stifling hot). I later understood that no rooms had any AC, since the "remote controlled" AC units had been turned off earlier. Text messages were sent to the available phone numbers Saturday evening, but no reply was ever received.No explanation was made or remedy offered. (We were seriously considering cancelling the remainder of our stay). Very unprofessional and definitely not a good first impression.

Of the four mornings that we stayed, we anticipated having breakfast (OK, continental breakfast) at 7:00 (weekday) and 8:00 (weekend) on two of the mornings. On Sunday, breakfast was not set out until after 7:15 and on the weekday (Tuesday), breakfast was not set out till after 7:10. I realize that the times seem somewhat minor, but the expectation was 8:00 and 7:00, respectively, and we had made our plans and schedules accordingly.

Since I knew we would be leaving on the last day early (about 6:30 AM) and it would be likely that no one would be available to check us out, I made arrangements to pay my bill the morning before. It now appears that paying the bill early also canceled any housekeeping effort to attend to the room (bed / towels / trash), since the room was in the same state that
evening (our last) as we had left it that morning.

Once again, I consider this highly un-professional in any establishment, but especially in one that bills itself as a *Premiere Executive Inn.

I have stayed at the DeBary in December and in May and have enjoyed both visits very much. It is in a great location with stressless access to restaurants and the downtown. It is quiet, comfortable and the veranda is a perfect spot to relax. Jon and the staff are friendly and helpful. i wouldn't stay anywhere else in Summit.
