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 asked for a pack & play when I booked the room and had to ask two more times for it to be brought up. The lounge is a joke. Cheese and wilted rabbit food. Not worth anyone's time. The restaurant looked good. I've stayed at Hilton's all over the world; this one is a miss unfortunately.

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.

Upon check in the staff was so so, as they could have been more pleasant. At one point I said hi to a front desk employee and he looked and didn't say anything in response. My room was very clean and refreshing with a decent view. The bar staff was very friendly and they offered a nice array of drinks, they were very refreshing and delicious. They offered breakfast and dinner service, at a fee. The hotel was very convenient to alot of restaurants, stores and the airport. I would stay again, besides some of the unpleasant staff.

Breakfast is available but wasn't included with my room. That said, they had complimentary coffee and Happy Hour specials at the Bar. My King Bed Room was a good size. A microwave in addition to the mini fridge and safe was a nice touch. I liked the Shower sliding doors vs curtains. Fitness room had all the Cardio equipment as well a weight station and Dumbbells. Indoor pool was more for the kids vs for Laps. Parking is free. A good selection of stores and restaurants nearby. Check-in was easy/quick and I got lucky and was able to check-in early (11:30) on a Friday. Service was friendly and upbeat. Great option close to Newark (EWR) and will stay here again.

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 are more comfy and have things this doesn't like phones in the room (like is there room service or what?) Also the wifi did not work for 2 of the days I stayed.

2 stars for ambiance. Minus 3 for everything else…read more As we entered and checked in, there were screaming children at the bar. At the elevators, we could still hear them. 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 for a work trip. I was greeted warmly at check-in. There was some weird card processing…read morefrom the third party service I used, and the desk staff was able to figure it out and explain to me that my room was pre-paid through the third party site my employer uses. 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.
