Guests frequently commend the on-site restaurant and bar. Several reviews mention parking can be inconvenient or off-site during events or busy periods. Room experiences vary from spacious and quiet to small or dated, and cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent in a few reports. Expect a characterful stay with standout service and a few practical compromises.

So it’s an inn. No ice machine, no elevator and parking off site that’s often full. If you are ok with quaint and often inconvenient, it’s a cute place with good restaurant. If you don’t want hassle it’s not for you. Arrived afree long drive and had no parking anywhere. Had to carry luggage two blocks and carry up to third floor. Carpet near bottom of stairs filthy. Carpet in room old and stretched. Had full sized old mattress that was way too small. We kept rolling into the middle so didn’t sleep well. Staff was very nice and restaurant on first floor very good. This is a place to stay for a getaway not when you need sleep/ease/support. A lot of food options walkable.

There was no parking when I arrived because there was some event. Parking outside hotel property was limited to three hours. Arriving in the dark and being a single woman, I did not feel safe. This is the reason I gave only four stars.

Entering this inn is like stepping into the past. It is a truly beautiful place. Warning - there is no elevator. But the young man who checked me in was more than happy to carry my luggage up to the next floor. The real highlight of the hotel is the restaurant - the food is fabulous and the service it top notch. One of the best meals I've had in the last ten years!

I give them 4.5 stars. Old English hunt country charm with four poster bed and chintz curtains. My one negative is that there is no elevator for luggage. But, the hotel helped us get some of the luggage up to the room. The bar has been updated with an upscale menu and it had a lot of young people and full of energy. The hotel is right in the middle of the very quaint town of bernardsville. Overall, we had a lovely visit.

Beautiful old hotel . Well kept ! Staff was great and restaurant was wonderful . My only complaint is that there is no elevator and the staircases are irregular and pose a tripping/ slipping hazard . Also , no service available to help with luggage . Finally , the parking lot should be available to patrons only . Parking on The street or train station overnight will result in a ticket from the local police .

The Bernards Inn is desperately in need of a renovation or refresh. The carpets are old and stained. The bathrooms look like they were updated in the 1970s. And I think the pillow was that old as well. Staff were friendly and courteous and the lobby was nice.

While it is charming I cannot say I would recommend it. My room was across from the train tracks (think My Cousin Vinny with the 2am train blowing by). Restaurant was below my room and people were loud which is fine, but the noise traveled and it felt like the windows weren’t closed shut because of how clear the sound carried. Remote control was sticky. Carpet had stains and the smell that greeted me when I entered my room was stale and musty. Bathroom was clean as was the bed and the linens. Staff were friendly.

Our first room had mold surrounding the shower floor edges and would not drain leaving a few inches of dirty water. They changed our room after a few hours and the available room had stains in the wardrobe closet and dirty strips in the tub with more mold. Could not use tub shower due to the condition. Have contacted management for compensation and awaiting reply. These 2 rooms were unfit for occupancy and a health hazard. Was told they are on a list for renovation. I also have photos to show the condition. Hopefully this will be resolved. We were very disappointed…the lobby itself was quaint with a fireplace but the 2 rooms were saw were terrible.

This old world hotel was wonderful. The service was exceptional. So many hotels charge for a bottle of water, but this hotel graciously had one in the room, with offers for more if needed. While they don't serve breakfast, coffee/tea and muffins were available as grab and go. That worked perfectly as I was taking a train and needed something quick. If anyone wants breakfast, there is a lovely cafe less than a block from the hotel. The room, although one of the smaller ones, was well appointed and very clean.

I loved everything about our stay at Bernard’s Inn. The room and bath were very clean! The bed slept great! The hotel common areas were very well kept and you always saw someone mopping or cleaning windows. We arrived late in the evening and the hotel desk clerk even carried our bags up to our room while my husband parked the car. That was very kind of him. The location is fantastic and convenient to walking to everything. We will definitely be back!

Carpet in room old and stretched. Had full sized old mattress that was way too small. We kept rolling into the middle so didn’t sleep well. Staff was very nice and restaurant on first floor very good. This is a place to stay for a getaway not when you need sleep/ease/support. A lot of food options walkable.

I had a room on the top floor facing Rt 202 and the train station. The room was small but so cute and very clean, I loved it. The only complaint was the fact that I could hear the street traffic and train horn throughout the night…did not sleep well but the room was A+

I honestly can't remember the last time I had such amazing care from hotel staff. Every single person I encountered went out of their way to be helpful, kind, and friendly. The location is convenient and the rooms are clean and comfortable, but I will stay here again for the truly outstanding customer service.

There was no parking when I arrived because there was some event. Parking outside hotel property was limited to three hours. Arriving in the dark and being a single woman, I did not feel safe. This is the reason I gave only four stars.

Old building, small room but clean & comfortable. No fridge or coffee in room. Minimal breakfast options. AC unit in window allowed cold outside air into room and more street noise from cars & train. Staff very accommodating and helpful.

This old world hotel was wonderful. The service was exceptional. So many hotels charge for a bottle of water, but this hotel graciously had one in the room, with offers for more if needed. While they don't serve breakfast, coffee/tea and muffins were available as grab and go. That worked perfectly as I was taking a train and needed something quick. If anyone wants breakfast, there is a lovely cafe less than a block from the hotel. The room, although one of the smaller ones, was well appointed and very clean.

I give them 4.5 stars. Old English hunt country charm with four poster bed and chintz curtains. My one negative is that there is no elevator for luggage. But, the hotel helped us get some of the luggage up to the room. The bar has been updated with an upscale menu and it had a lot of young people and full of energy. The hotel is right in the middle of the very quaint town of bernardsville. Overall, we had a lovely visit.

I loved everything about our stay at Bernard’s Inn. The room and bath were very clean! The bed slept great! The hotel common areas were very well kept and you always saw someone mopping or cleaning windows. We arrived late in the evening and the hotel desk clerk even carried our bags up to our room while my husband parked the car. That was very kind of him. The location is fantastic and convenient to walking to everything. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful old hotel . Well kept ! Staff was great and restaurant was wonderful . My only complaint is that there is no elevator and the staircases are irregular and pose a tripping/ slipping hazard . Also , no service available to help with luggage . Finally , the parking lot should be available to patrons only . Parking on The street or train station overnight will result in a ticket from the local police .

Entering this inn is like stepping into the past. It is a truly beautiful place. Warning - there is no elevator. But the young man who checked me in was more than happy to carry my luggage up to the next floor. The real highlight of the hotel is the restaurant - the food is fabulous and the service it top notch. One of the best meals I've had in the last ten years!

Love a beautiful, historic hotel. The rooms were super clean and lovely. Loved the easy, free parking, and the cute town it's in. But the best part were the staff! So friendly, and made everything easy.

I can't begin to tell you how phenomenal the staff was at this hotel. They not only were attentive to every detail, but they were incredibly accommodating. My daughter and I were in from out of town and knew nothing about the hotel, so we didn't know what to expect.....what we found however was a quaint, cute throwback hotel in a cute throwback town, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Terrific dinner downstairs, while the kindness of the staff was the icing on the cake. 5 stars for this place all the way around.....it gets our highest marks.
