Great winter weekend getaway stay at The Darby. Friendly staff, and modest, but, clean rooms. There are a couple of small hiking paths adjacent to the hotel that are perfect for dogs. The town of Narrowsburg is an easy walk from the hotel and offers a variety of food options, cute shops and a local brewery.

We came to the area for a concert @ Bethel Woods which is a 20 minute drive. The Darby was a nice find, very clean, very comfortable beds and linens which is key. The room was small but well designed. They have some nice amenities such as a bar, game room, outdoor area with fire pit and chairs. The next morning we walked across the bridge to New York State and a great coffee shop, that was 900’ feet from The Darby. Recommended!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very expensive for what it is. Rooms have no separation from the bar area and had people running and screaming down the halls at midnight. No staff onsite to assist and no response when we reached out the next day. Disappointing, a beautiful area but for the price of a nice hotel with the experience of a poorly run hostel.

Kind of a weird place but clean and closest place we could find to Bethel Woods. Former nursing home converted to hotel. Potential for some paranormal activity! Overpriced rooms were clean and vintage mid century. Self check-in and check-out. No staffing or staff services to even comment about since there were none. Nice fire pit complete with “s’mores”” was available. Very quaint little town of Narrowsburg was 5 minutes away across a bridge with a great breakfast and lunch restaurant.

Excellent stay!!

This place is superb! We arrived to home baked chocolate chip cookies upon arrival, which were delicious! The grounds were super cute. We napped in the hammocks, made s’mores in the fire pit, and slept soundly in the cozy rooms. It’s also a couple blocks from a cute strip of town with nice shops and bites. We’d love to return!

We liked the friendliness of the staff. The hotel is located within walking distance to downtown Narrowsburg. It was also a convenient location to the concert venue we attended. Other than no TV in our room our stay was pleasant. We meet other couples at the hotel that attended the same concert.

We had a great couple of nights at hotel Darby. The staff were all super friendly and we met the new owner who was great and has a great vision for the property. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Enjoyed the indoor fireplace at nights. Hope to return, perhaps with a group to better enjoy all the facilities at the property. Thank you hotel Darby.

Observation: lovely quiet location, with beautiful scenery. I will note however if you want to have a quiet getaway notion go during the week, because there are social activities on the weekends. Liked: Intimate boutique style was nice, the pastry breakfast was convenient. Loved the styling of the decor, with so many places to sit and chat. Disliked: the pillows were very flat, and the we're a good amount of spiderwebs.

FANTASTIC ALL THE WAY AROUND. Bed was comfortable. Room was spotless. Continental breakfast was tasty. The two people who were in charge ran the entire place with no problem, and kept a,sm8le on their face the entire time. I threw darts, enjoyed bonfires because the wood and firestarters are included in the price of the room. Its perfect for little get away. I absolutely will be staying there again in the future

Great place but missing some advertised amenities

First I’ll start with the positive. The staff we encountered were nice and helpful, the room was beautiful, the place is exactly as pictured, fun and well appointed. My biggest complaint is that when we checked in our check-in paperwork said complimentary breakfast and coffee were available in the green room from 8-10am. Well we got dressed and ready for breakfast and there was none. No staff on site, not even any coffee available, and the room was dark. It was really disappointing, especially with no coffee maker in the room or anywhere in the hotel. It was also advertised on the site. Another issue was that hotels.com said check out was noon but when we arrived we got a text that check out was 11. That being said, I would stay there again. The room and hotel were really beautiful and location great. But need to clarify the amenities offered so visitors can plan accordingly.

The staff at the Darby were very friendly and helpful. The common areas are very nice and it's great to have a bar to unwind during the evening. However, the reason I am rating this as poor are the rooms. The building has the looks of a renovated retirement home. Consequently, the rooms are very small (perhaps 12ft x 12 ft), air conditioning is provided by a basic and very noisy window air conditioner unit, the room smelled damp throughout the stay, the shower is part of a converted closet, and the walls to the corridor are paper thin (and the bed is placed against the hallway wall), allowing a lot of noise to enter the room. This all contributed to a terrible night's rest. I would definitely not stay here again.

Motel Vibes. Well Thought-Out. Some Challenges.

The Darby is well located within close walking distance to the Delaware River and downtown Narrowsburg. You can tell that the property is well thought-out. Very eclectic and a cool vibe, however, it used to be a nursing home and that is exactly how the room, bathroom, and common areas feel. So, I would say it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a lush, comfortable hotel this wouldn't be it, however, if you're looking for a cool, clean motel vibe this is exactly it. We had challenges making and changing the reservation and there was no one at the desk when we needed to check out because there is essentially only one staff member in charge of everything and understandably they have to be in a lot of places at once. The light breakfast was available but we did not take advantage of it because it wasn't super fresh, however, it's a nice touch. The little bar they have is adorable!
