Super disappointing to see what new owners have done to this classic hotel. We have stayed here before when visiting family in the area, so we didn’t hesitate to book our rooms for this trip. The remodel doesn’t make sense, materials were poorly chosen and poorly installed, and because of more ongoing work, amenities were not available. No pool, no restaurant, no bar. Falling plaster, holes in the floor, and trash left behind the nightstand. . . We will look elsewhere on our next visit.

Perfect for our short stay with our pup. Free parking on site. Clean rooms. Just a bit noisy as we were near the elevator, ice machine, and housekeeping room so we frequently heard noise day and night. Would stay here again though! Just not in the same room.

This hotel has tons of potential but we do have a few problems. No pool no restaurant no bar it needs to be renovated and room prices need to go up!!!! This place is in summit downtown is flowing lots of people they need to put money into the hotel and have the locals eat and drinks at the hotel. And still get customers to sleep there

This is a beautiful landmark hotel in downtown Summit that is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. The lobby and public rooms, however, are in need of updating. That said, my guest room was modern, clean and very comfortable. I also enjoyed the buffet breakfast each morning. A note for management is that the entry into the porte cochere is poorly lit. Otherwise, it was nice to have ample free parking. I recommend this hotel if you are visiting Summit!

Zero Stars. It has delusions of grandeur claims to be 3 star but has NO AMENITIES. Seriously overpriced. Restaurant is Closed. Pool is Closed. No phone in rooms no way to contact the front desk staff who were unhelpful in person. Rooms are dated and basic. Bathroom steams up as there is no window or fan so steam gets into bedroom. They claim that renovations are underway but there is no evidence of that. It is the Only hotel in Summit but it no longer deserves to be called a hotel. It's a bad BnB. The only nice thing I can say is beds are comfortable and staff (other than front desk) were friendly.

This is a tough one...according to other reviews the Sumitt Grand is in the middle of a reboot, so I guess we have to take that into consideration. Some complaints...the breakfast has much to be desired. For a hotel room that was $185, a good breakfast with a good variety is to be expected. But it was exactly the same every day, eggs , no bacon or sausage, bagels,etc. They inform you that they clean the rooms about every four days. Again for $185, not good. The refrig was not working and we had problems with the coffee pot. The lady at the front desk absolutly refused to smile. Now the pluses. Beautiful old quint hotel. Walking distance to the train station and Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts,etc. The town closed early around six, except for some bars, but there was some nice antiqey type stores. Till the hotel gets it's act together, they should lower the rates of the rooms

The free breakfast was not really worth the cost. Runny scrambled eggs (every day) although the weekend saw the addition of sausage. The room is quite small. Although the say you can get fresh linens if you leave the dirty on the floor, no-one cleaned the room for 4 days so it was up to me to get linens at the front desk. And to reiterate, the room was not cleaned.

I’ve been waiting for someone to get back to me since I left a message at checkout a week ago. We checked out very early (5:30am) and the front desk was unstaffed. Rang bell and called manager number posted (which just rang the front desk phone) and waited but no one appeared. We left our key cards in the check out bowl on the counter but with zero security/locks on front door it felt really odd. I emailed that day. Still no response. Otherwise, the location is great. Main hotel rooms are lovely. Back addition rooms not so much.

I like the convenient location. I did not like that there is no microwave in the room. You have to travel outside of your room and to another floor (Lower Level) to use the microwave. Very inconvenient! Also, no more in-house restaurant or inside dining.

Why don’t the owners explain to staff that their hotel was built in 1929 not in 1868? Comfortable, nicely furnished, extremely reasonable prices, very walkable to downtown, easy parking. Skip the breakfast in the gloomy bar.

That said, my guest room was modern, clean and very comfortable. I also enjoyed the buffet breakfast each morning. A note for management is that the entry into the porte cochere is poorly lit. Otherwise, it was nice to have ample free parking. I recommend this hotel if you are visiting Summit!

Long term creature comforts were met while we had the responsibility of cleaning out a house. Great location to downtown Summit for dining and train to NYC.

The Albion is a walk through history. The building is incredible with architectural features, lobby restaurant, and really nice modern updates. It's a few blocks to downtown Summit and all of the restaurants and shopping. The staff were off the charts friendly and helpful. The cigar bar was a great touch as well.

I like the convenient location. I did not like that there is no microwave in the room. You have to travel outside of your room and to another floor (Lower Level) to use the microwave. Very inconvenient! Also, no more in-house restaurant or inside dining.

Why don’t the owners explain to staff that their hotel was built in 1929 not in 1868? Comfortable, nicely furnished, extremely reasonable prices, very walkable to downtown, easy parking. Skip the breakfast in the gloomy bar.

Spent the Easter weekend here visiting family. The king deluxe room was perfect for my husband and I as well as entertaining some family as it had a lovely sitting area along with a sunroom furnished with a table and four upholstered chairs . We enjoyed dinner Friday night as well as Easter Brunch on Sunday at their restaurant

A nice, old hotel that has been graced with recent renovations of public areas and maybe the rooms. "Free Breakfast" is abysmal, but coffee and tea are always available.

Zero Stars. It has delusions of grandeur claims to be 3 star but has NO AMENITIES. Seriously overpriced. Restaurant is Closed. Pool is Closed. No phone in rooms no way to contact the front desk staff who were unhelpful in person. Rooms are dated and basic. Bathroom steams up as there is no window or fan so steam gets into bedroom. They claim that renovations are underway but there is no evidence of that. It is the Only hotel in Summit but it no longer deserves to be called a hotel. It's a bad BnB. The only nice thing I can say is beds are comfortable and staff (other than front desk) were friendly.

This is a tough one...according to other reviews the Sumitt Grand is in the middle of a reboot, so I guess we have to take that into consideration. Some complaints...the breakfast has much to be desired. For a hotel room that was $185, a good breakfast with a good variety is to be expected. But it was exactly the same every day, eggs , no bacon or sausage, bagels,etc. They inform you that they clean the rooms about every four days. Again for $185, not good. The refrig was not working and we had problems with the coffee pot. The lady at the front desk absolutly refused to smile. Now the pluses. Beautiful old quint hotel. Walking distance to the train station and Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts,etc. The town closed early around six, except for some bars, but there was some nice antiqey type stores. Till the hotel gets it's act together, they should lower the rates of the rooms

I have been staying at the hotel property for many years. I love the renovation. I really enjoyed Felina. I found the staff to be professional and friendly. I particularly enjoyed meeting Stephanie at the bar. She was welcoming and helpful with the new food and drink menu. There was live entertainment which made the experience fun and enjoyable.

The free breakfast was not really worth the cost. Runny scrambled eggs (every day) although the weekend saw the addition of sausage. The room is quite small. Although the say you can get fresh linens if you leave the dirty on the floor, no-one cleaned the room for 4 days so it was up to me to get linens at the front desk. And to reiterate, the room was not cleaned.

My queen (my choice) updated room was small but adequate and clean. The bathroom was nicely updated..also nicely cleaned. The toilet handle needed adjustment to avoid running continuously but we did not report this until checkout. We did have an earlier question about TV remote and they came right away. The open check-in area, bar and restaurant is unique and modern but also makes for a noisy reception at peak times. Overall a good experience though I also liked the classic old Grand Summit.

I have to say, I’ve been in a lot of hotels over the years for business. The Albion is one of the most beautiful, spacious, artful, and well located hotels in the area. I’m truly amazed by the quality of the lobby, both the bar restaurant and the lounge areas. It’s truly spectacular.
