We wanted to sit in the lobby, but there was trash at the fireplace. The lobby was unclean ie the couch, table, fireplace area. There was no coffee or cream in our room. It took 40 minutes for them to come up. They brought cream and sugar and no coffee. We called the front desk twice to rectify this issue. There was a phone in the room that did not work and no phone cord, which is a huge safety issue. There was yelling and slamming doors at 6am outside of our room in the hallway. There was also no body soap in the shower, when we showered this morning. We will not be returning, as this was another disappointing stay.

Wonderful Bridal Shower…read more The Archer Hotel was the perfect spot for my daughter's bridal shower. We had the luxury of having the AKB restaurant and bar area to ourselves. The food was excellent! The service was attentive but needed to be more accessible to the guests with their orders, and serving water. Plus telling guests about coffee, desserts, and cappuccino (which was forgotten). I still gave them five star for their efforts. But wanted to mention these things for the next party. All in all people loved the Archer

Stayed here while visiting family 20 minutes away. Cant recommend enough. Occupancy is down…read moresignificantly during the pandemic right now but we felt like this made a stay here the perfect solution. Minimized exposure to others versus staying with family or certainly a hotel chain. The owner Marsha was clearly prepared with COVID precautions. The property is incredible with a beautiful stream on property, horse shoes, a pool table, etc. Lots to do in the area with hiking trails just a short distance down the road. Everything seems well thought out for making guests comfortable with snacks, coffee, sodas, cookies, available at all times. The house is quite large and with the barn also accessible, there's no issue finding a quiet spot for reading or even listening to music with a glass of wine using the Sonos music system (even available in the barn!). This would be perfect for a family to rent out the whole home. Going stir crazy due to pandemic concerns? This is a great way to change your view safely.

I attended a wedding this past weekend at the Raritan Inn and it was beautiful. My boyfriend was in…read morethe wedding party so I was in and out of the inn quite a bit leading up to the wedding and the next day. The décor is charming and everything is very clean. John had extra breakfast one morning so when we showed up to help clean up after the wedding he gladly offered us delicious breakfast and plenty of hot coffee. The wedding venue is a beautiful place if you are looking to have a rustic barn wedding. However it is a DIY place so be prepared to set everything up on your own and clean up the next day, unless of course you hire someone for that. :) The ceremony took place by the brook in the back, the dinner tables were set up under a tent in the field, dancing and the band were in the barn. It was really the PERFECT venue for the couple getting married.

Natalie at Reservations was especially outstanding--friendly, outgoing, extremely knowledgeable, and very understanding. Her helpful attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. I was also very impressed with how clean the rooms were. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and I had one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time. I truly have nothing but positive things to say about my stay. The management team also deserves recognition, particularly Assistant Manager Anzio Rezende, who went well beyond the scope of their role to ensure I was properly assisted. This level of genuine, thoughtful customer service is rare and simply cannot be replaced by technology or AI. ---

Very helpful and felt well taken care of. My room was excellent. The king size bed was comfortable, and the bath was clean. TV was large and remote was a clean surface type. Welcomed for those of us worried about cleanliess. One nit, the wall in the shower was cracked and the hotel at night during my one night stay had a motorcycle that rev'd his engine at 5am outside my window. Otherwise it was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast is served in the lobby, and while it was busy with people - the server made sure everyone had what they needed, and that everything was reloaded for service when running low. Agree that there are lots of restaurants nearby (one across the street) and I had a good stay and can recommend Fairfield Inn & Suites in Rockaway.

Nice staff, easy check in, ample space, and solid free breakfast selection. But wow, this pool. This is the cleanest and warmest pool we've ever had the pleasure of using. It almost feels like you're taking a nice warm bath. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future. Note to the staff, please keep your pool just like this. It's incredible.

I had wanted to go to an event at il Tulipano since I was a child. I had driven passed the…read morestunning venue so many times and had always been intrigued by its elegance. Well, I was finally able to investigate, since I was invited there for a wedding. The ceremony had been elsewhere, and when we arrived, we were a bit too early for the cocktail hour, which was to be held in the sunny Gregorian Room with its spectacular views of the blooming flowers on the outdoor Piazza. The entrance to the space was roped off until the precise kick-off time, so we all gathered in the marble lobby, which became more and more crowded as guests arrived. Folks were starting to get a bit restless, but at least there was a staff member serving sparkling wine with strawberries to keep them calm. I was not a fan of the selected bubbles, but they did their job. Also, since the day was unseasonably chilly, the coat room had been closed, but I reached out to a server, and she graciously opened the closet for the few of us that had items we needed to check. Once we got into the cocktail reception, we had access to a large open bar, loads of food, and plenty of seating. There were some passed hors d'oeuvres, as well as stations for antipasti, pizza, pasta, and carved meats. I found many of the Italian salads and marinated vegetables just decent, but the pizza was surprisingly good. I was trying to save room for dinner, so I did not try the pastas or meats, which had not really appealed to me anyway. We were later told to head upstairs to the Ballroom, which was elegant and looked like something straight out of a fairytale. It was extremely spacious, allowing guests to socialize with ease. The dancefloor was similarly sprawling with plenty of room to strut your stuff along to the music. From a drinks perspective, most people just claimed their own beverages from the bar, though the servers did offer us either a Pinot Grigio or a Cabernet Sauvignon tableside. I opted for the Cab, but found it watery and acidic. There were dinner rolls waiting at our place setting, and those were soft, fluffy, and lightly sweet. They were delicious! Our first course was a Caesar salad, which was fine except for the dressing tasted like pure mayonnaise. Thankfully, the second course was a palate cleanser of lemon sorbet, which was refreshing and not too sweet. We then had our choice of main course, selecting from salmon, chicken, and Chateaubriand. I went with the grilled salmon, which was served over a creamy potato puree and sauteed carrots. It was all tasty and well-executed. I heard that the steak, which was served with the same side dishes, was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we received individual slices of wedding cake, as well as a platter of cookies and mini-pastries for the table. Everything was delicious, and it was a nice end to the meal. il Tulipano was a gorgeous venue, especially for a wedding, and the service was phenomenal. I just felt that the food had some hits and some misses.

Our room had a private bathroom, which was fully equipped with everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, and Iris even treated us to homemade almond butter. It was clear that the hosts put a lot of love into every detail of their property, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a family getaway. I was truly impressed by the kindness and respect that Rafi and Iris showed their guests. As we were heading to our car and waved goodbye to Rafi, he stopped what he was doing in the backyard to come over and personally shake our hands. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

As soon as we arrived, the chefs were there and so welcoming and accommodating, offering us coffee as soon as we walked in! We got everything ready and once the party started it was just fabulous!
