Family Visit

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

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.

Laurie

we thought the hotel was very pretty and festive. When we first went into our room to check in, it was clean and seemed nice When we came back after dinner to go to bed, the heating system in the room was very loud and it kept turning on and turning off so we turned it completely off only to find that our room was located over some large heating and air air-conditioning equipment that was very loud and you couldn’t stop the noise. We got very little sleep and then woke up to no hot water and cold showers. When I told the management about it, they didn’t offer me anything except I’m sorry and then finally they offered a $50 credit Honestly, when I go to a hotel and pay over $300 for a room if I can’t sleep and I have to take w cold shower I think I should be fully refunded for the stay. Sleep and a hot shower are the primary things a guess would like to have but they’reneting a hotel room for the nights. We were very disappointed.

Here’s the revised version with a polite, professional closing directed to management: ⸻ Albion Hotel – Summit, NJ ⭐️⭐️ (2 out of 5 stars) Our recent two-night stay at the Albion Hotel was unfortunately below expectations. While both the guest room and bathroom were clean, several aspects of the stay detracted from the overall experience. Upon arrival, we were not informed how to reach the front desk, and since there was no in-room telephone, I had to go down personally to request a bar of soap. The room lacked basic amenities such as note paper and a pen, and although it was tidy, the furnishings were sparse and did not reflect the standard suggested by the property’s presentation. Additionally, while the bathroom was clean, the door showed visible signs of wear — including chipped paint — and did not close properly. In summary, the stay was adequate in cleanliness but underwhelming in comfort, amenities, and attention to detail. With improved communication, better in-room provisions, and some maintenance updates, the Albion could offer a much more satisfactory guest experience. I hope this feedback is helpful and taken in the spirit intended — to assist management in enhancing the comfort and overall experience for future guests.

3rd floor close to elevator, room very quiet! Bed cozy, maid service great. But no ice close, and staff had issues getting it up to the room for us. And billing drinks to the room was an issue, so we didn’t bother trying to bill our supper to the room. Felina food and drinks good, but not as good as the price makes you believe it will be. Very Loud And service is terrible. They try, but… We will stay here again when in this area. Very convenient for us.
