Good location, new clean hotel Lots of food options nearby for pickup and delivery Even a great little “store” for food and drinks

Rooms were nice size and the kitchenette makes extended stays convenientOne of the big pro’s was this hotel is pet friendly We were unsure how that would go, but our cats made themselves at home once they got used to the sounds aroundThe big jewel of the place was the staff It is a difficult time to be in hospitality and everyone was always willing to help with anything I needed Would stay again

Pardhiva Erramilli

Hotel is very clean and new Staff is very courteous and helpful We booked 2 rooms and had a great experience

Since it is like extended stay, room cleaning service will Not be done dailyBut hotel staff do give new towels and soap if we ask them in front desk and thus it is goodBreakfast options are good

Jess —

Extremely clean hotel Beds were super comfortable and the shower was spacious, not to mention the soothing dual shower headsThe were so many breakfast options including buckwheat waffles that were surprisingly delicious

I would definitely recommend Home2 Suites in New BrunswickBTW- it’s a short drive to Rutgers

Wayne and his staff are amazing! The hotel is easily accessible for many major roads in the area When you arrive you are greeted by a friendly face and welcomed into a clean comfortable hotel We stayed there every weekend for over 2 months and we had no complaints about any of the rooms we were in during our stays

Any special request placed on the app were always in place when we arrived We were so happy with the hotel that our son is now using it for his block of rooms for his wedding Keep up the great work!

Nancy McNamara

We were booked as a guest for a wedding Having arrived from out of state, the front desk assisted in getting us into a room before the actual check-in time Unfortunately, although the room was vacated, it had not yet been cleaned

A quick call to the front desk got us immediately moved to another room The room was spacious and very comfortable The only drawback is that the rooms seem to have “mood” lighting You know, for evenings and good rest It was incredibly difficult to apply make-up in such dim lighting A mirror by the window or a bright bathroom light would have made a big difference! Being so close to a wedding venue, they should remember people get dressed there, not just sleep

BED BUGS BED BUGS BED

BUGS I’m stating that right up front so anyone skimming the reviews sees it immediatelyWe stayed here two nights for a wedding over the 2022 Memorial Day weekend We did not notice anything immediately, but as my wife got ready to go to bed she found one mature bed bug Not having had interactions with the pest before, she thought it was a tick, which is gross, but doesn’t usually indicate an infestation I had been visiting with friends and came back to the room a half hour later and immediately realized that it was much worse than that Checking the corners of the bed, we confirmed that it was indeed a bed bug infestation and had likely been that way for some time since there were examples spanning the life cycle chart of bed bugs Needless to say, we immediately vacated the roomTo be fair, the staff at the hotel was somewhat accommodating They immediately gave us a new room and comped our entire stay However, they did not offer any preventative measures, did not do anything to ensure the new room (which was on the same floor) was not also infested, and were not able to even advise me on their standard sanitation practices Upon inspection, our new room was clean and we advised numerous friends staying in the hotel to check their rooms, which yielded no further bug findingsOver the course of the weekend, we walked past the room multiple times to see if anyone else was staying in the room or if they were cleaning the room or anything at all Nothing No precautions were made to ensure that the infestation wasn’t spreading A simple Google search shows that bed bugs can and will travel between rooms, so this was highly concerningAlmost a month later, despite taking extensive precautions, I live in fear that we brought the pests home with us since they can live for months without feeding (gross) I would happily pay the cost of the hotel stay in exchange for peace of mind, so while the comping of the room was appreciated, in my opinion it is entirely inadequate Do betterSuffice to say, we will not be staying at this hotel ever again, and furthermore will not be patronizing any Fairfield hotels in the future Please heed this warning and stay somewhere else – there are plenty of other hotels in the area

Rooms are really nice ❤️! Love the setup and beautiful decorum Only critique is no bathtub I didn’t really interact with staff, but everyone seemed pretty chill

Jerseys a very different seen than I am use to so I don’t think I can judge the location fairly although I would have liked it to be in a more open and scenic place Has exercise room so that is always a plus for me 😊!

Nice hotel for the money Easily accessible from the parkway Ample parking

I had a two-double bed suit The front parlor has a mini fridge, microwave wet bar, TV and sofa-bed The bathroom is a little dated but good water pressure and clean Pool was on the smaller size They have a full bar and you can order appetizers Nice lounge areas to mingle Great buffet breakfast which takes sanitary and health precautions into account Jennifer who assisted us at the main desk was awesome I used the App to check-in and it was great I was able to select my room and use my phone as my room key One of the downfalls of the App they do not tell you that you need to visit the front desk to get passes to utilize some of the amenities of the hotel This is a family friendly hotel

Amaris Pollock

We booked our room through a secondary app that Embassy Suites works with, and they somehow lost the room we booked (two rooms that were combined with double beds and a pull out couch) and switched it with a single KingAfter a little arguing and showing proof of the confirmation of our room, the front desk was able to find an available room close to what we ordered & paid for And the staff was being friendly and helpful during the dilemma/confusion

So I would recommend that if you book a reservation through a secondary travel app–ALWAYS call up the particular hotel immediately after you obtain your confirmation from the secondary app to ensure that your reservation matches what Embassy Suites received from the travel app That way you can avoid what we went through before you arriveThat said, the room was clean as was the entire public spaces The breakfast comps (a coupon per person/per overnight stay) were handed over via a coupon We were also handed a complimentary ‘welcome drink’ for the evening for every adult in our reservation who was 21+ but none of us used itThe breakfast in the morning was well organized, ample beverage choices (coffee, tea, milk, juices) with a fresh fruit section, cereal to choose from, scratch-made pancakes and omelettes (I would recommend) & french toast (needs to be improved) with fried potatoes and your choice of breakfast meats–either bacon or sausage (bacon was paper thin and very salty, so maybe the sausage was a better choice, but we all had the bacon)Anyhow, the room was comfortable and clean You can change the temperature to fit your preference The bathroom was a good size and there was an additional sink in the room with the beds as well a wet bar sink in the lounge area of our room The lounge area was a little on the small size but workableI’d say that this room was a bit overpriced in comparison to where I’ve stayed at in prior trips at different hotels (those have larger rooms & larger lounge areas in the rooms), but overall it was okay for a single night’s stayPrice point to what we received: I personally would stay at one of the other hotel chains that I’m alluding to over this one, especially since the main reason we chose this location was for the pool (which was closed due to Covid restrictions) So for all intensive purposes, we were in a smaller room than what I know we could have stayed at for about 100 dollars less with similar breakfast deals but the other chains lack the displayed ambiance you’re greeted and surrounded by when you enter into this hotel’s lobby & public areas

Melissa L

The breakfast was delicious! Loved the omelets! The main foyer area was beautiful (bravo to the architect) If you have to spend a few days here you would enjoy sitting by the fountain or taking a leisurely walk along the pondOur room was clean and spacious, but we did have to change it upon arrival due to a small leak in the bathroom

The staff was pleasant and friendly, and a special thank-you to Heraldo who was very kind and helped us with our room changeOverall it was a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend this hotel

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any hotel They compare hundreds of booking websites and usually will have rates a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is the best rated in this area

I’ve been staying here for a very long time If you decide to stay here you for sure won’t be disappointedRooms are clean and so is the lobby and hotel overall I’ve stayed at a number of hotels in the area and the Heldrich is one of the nicest One of the great things about this hotel is it’s surrounded by a lot of restaurants You can literally walk across the street and be at a number of fine dining restaurants within 40 feet of the hotel doors It simply makes life easier if you are visiting in the area Hotel management is very nice and accommodating as well

Grisel Johnson

We were traveling from out of town and stayed here for a night Room was very big and spacious No complaints except that room service did not come unless I requested a clean

Also I stepped on a pin needle?! I let the cleaning room service know and she saw it her self She plainly said we clean the carpet when we vacuum but we don’t always guarantee that everything comes up! They are so lucky my 5 year old or crawling 11 month old did not get stuck with it…or else there would be a lawsuit pending! Manager was nice to offer us free breakfast but unfortunately our flight was leaving at 3am and couldn’t accept his offer Management was suppose to get back with us about the incident and still haven’t heard back I would not recommend this hotel not very professional at all

Bhaumik Parekh

We had the worst experience staying at this hotel! I would not recommend it to anybody as their staff service is worst than a motel We paid $500 for 2 nights that is way expensive than any 3-4 stars hotel considering that we will also get good service from the staff for the price that we paid but that was not the case We asked for microwave and they told us we will be charged $25 for it, first of all which good hotel charges for microwave

We were ready to pay for it at the end but turned out they did not even have one in their inventory!We asked for extra comforter as I was feeling too cold and their thermostat was also not working to set the temperature, they did not give extra comforter as well We kept waiting but staff did not provide anything The phone was also not working from room so every time for any room service we had to go all the way down ourselvesWorst place to stay , please do not waste your money here as we already wasted ours!

Charles Acquisto

Sometimes it’s not how good a product or place is, but how well a company responds to problems I had a lot of issues with noise and lack of amenities while at this hotel, but after a few emails and me describing some specific issues, they refunded my money I’ve always loved Marriott so I’m happy to give them a 5 star review despite the issues

They still have some things to work out, but I’m hopeful that my feedback will help get those issues resolved I know they will One note: The highway is right there, so if you’re a light sleeper like me, get a room at the backside of the hotel, facing the junkyard, NOT the highway I know, not a great view, but I slept like a baby on that side Breakfast is as good as always, so if you need a clean place with convenient access to everything, a meal, and maybe a pool to swim in, the Fairfield delivers Thank you Fairfield managment and Marriott!

Great location near major highways and tons of various dining options in the areaRooms are decently sized and equipped with microwave and fridge for additional convenienceTV’s are large and provide excellent viewing quality and experience

I’ve been staying here for years If you stay for a few nights you for sure won’t regret itThis hotel location was excellent!! You had a Walmart extremely close by two restaurants and the room was absolutely clean and modern!! We had so much space despite sharing a room as a family! It met our needs to sleep shower and go on about our next stop the Statue of Liberty!! If you’re traveling with the family I would definitely recommend this place! My husband was the only person who took advantage of the free breakfast because we were running late but it was all worth it!! If you need to get to the Statue Liberty from Philly stay here you will not regret it!!

I have been staying at Hilton since past 7-8 years and this was the worst experience ever Starting from the check-in – We were not greeted with happy faces at all We had total of 6 rooms for the week so total around like 15-16 nights since i had used points for some rooms and paid for the other

We had a baby shower event nearby and booked the rooms for my guests and my family but they were also utterly disappointed by the overall experience The major concern was the provision of the housekeeping service and bath/hand towels We had to literally beg for towels every few hours since they would not give us the number of towels we requested We could see they have enough towels at the back of the reception but still would not give us that It literally felt like they were discriminating towards my brown skin They would not provide housekeeping the same day even if we asked for it in the morning I have been staying at Hiltons since the beginning of Pandemic but never had such experience anywhere else I had options nearby to book my rooms for the baby shower but chose this since I had previously stayed at this property couple of times They had like 4-5 front desk people sitting doing nothing during the work hours They should instead hire more house keepers I really hope Hilton will take some acceptable action towards the customer service at this particular property

Earlier reviews had me wondering if we would find anything but the regular consistency we enjoy at Courtyards This Courtyard may have been better than the ones we’d been to before The layout of the room was different and created a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere

The room was clean and the water pressure in the shower was terrific So many hotel pillows are so airy that they collapse as soon as I put my head on them — these had substance but were not overly firm

Chelsea Davis

Very poor customer service I provided my information with all details via email and phone call and received back the room block contract with multiple spelling and date errors The code didn’t work multiple times and I had to reach out for corrections

I should have known at that point that there would be more issues I secured a block of rooms for my wedding over a year out A couple months or so prior to the wedding I received a call stating that the hotel was closing for renovations and that they were unable to accommodate my group Luckily, I was able to stay at a brand new Hampton Inn just minutes away instead I do not recommend this hotel

Brittany Doria

Well so far – they couldn’t honor early check in what so ever Couldn’t honor AAA card before BEFORE we even checked in Room wasn’t as clean as you’d think a hotel would be (still toothpaste in sink- we haven’t even brought in luggage yet)

don’t know the area or anywhere else to stay – so unfortunately we are stuck Highway is very loud- could be soothing to some people I’d look for better rated hotel honestly next time DisappointedNotice the replies back from management from the 5 star reviews compared to the way they handle poor ratings (oh your stay wasn’t well- sorry- do come back tho! 😂 yikes

The hotel is huge and used to be gorgeous but now it looks outdatedIf you choose a room with breakfast you will be not wrong 😉Outdoor pool is great

  Continental breakfast has usual Hilton options  (scrambled eggs,  bacon,  breakfast potato) with some restaurant’s touch (you supposed to use vouchers)The territory around the hotel is nice but needs a little bit more attentionOverall it was a good stay  My kids enjoyed weekends there

J Monique C

I wonder if this place was nice before COVID because now the place gives an outdated vibe It has a pool, business center, plenty of conference space and a restaurant on site Yet, nothing made me feel like I was in for a treat including the staff who barely recognized my diamond status

They were less than warm in their welcome Maybe they were tired because it was a holiday weekend and bus load of kids checked in? At least the bed was comfortable and the room was clean

Kristina Mereigh

This double tree hotel was a great disappointment I am a Hilton Gold honors member and had never been to a Hilton property that was so outdated and unclean We booked this location for an anniversary staycation for two nights and checked out after night one because of how gross it was

We had to stay night one because no other hotels in the area could take us that late at night We booked a room with patio walk out to the pool The doors were incredibly hard to open, the patio curtains were so filthy and dusty, I needed to go and buy allergy medicine The patio windows were so streaky and dusty, you couldn’t see through them The air in the hotel was musty The bathroom still had hair in it and it was so small you could barely move around One of the front desk staff was so rude, I was appalled Ive never been treated that way in a Hilton property before The hallways looked like they had never been vacuumed and the ice machine was so gross, we went out to buy ice for our water bottlesDark, musty and outdated Highly don’t recommendThe grounds are the only saving grace The outside is pretty but the pool fills up quickly and the lounge chairs are incredibly limited so if you want one for your family, secure it before 9am There are only like 4 of them so it feels like hunger games for them

The place is very clean, modern and well maintained The staff was accommodating and friendly The room was really nice and spacious but cozy

Bathroom amenities were Paul Mitchel and I greatly appreciated those There was a great variety of breakfast foods available in the morning which was wonderful This hotel got all the details right even down to the smallest of details! There is also a delicious smelling restaurant right across the street that sadly I didn’t get to try but the next time I am out here I will absolutely be looking forward to it!

Clean, welcoming and comfortable! Stayed a few days while in town for a wedding Despite our wild family lol the staff was more than hospitable, they were stellar! The breakfast bar was great! And the staff who were manning the breakfast bar were on top of everything Super friendly and helpful, they kept it stocked and above all, clean!!! Highly recommend!

This was the worst hotel I have stayed at We had booked 50 plus rooms for two nights and the service was the worst we have ever seen and this is coming from someone who works in the hotel industry We had booked a meeting room for all the people who were staying in the hotel and our count for people attending went up to 80 therefore; she told us to use the lobby

The hotel has a bar but on purpose they don’t open it so they can charge people to have a bar open The bartender the hotel gave us had no bartending experience as he didn’t know how to make a martini or a Moscow mule He was supposed to be there from 5:30 to 10:30 and he was missing in action from 7:30 onward When I went to inquire, he was hiding in the back and said if he wanted noise he would work in a club One of the guests (who was not affiliated with us) said I know people and you can get fired and he ran with that saying we threatened himThe GM, the next day said I need to speak to you and we didn’t tip the bartender She claims she had to comp $5,000 worth of room revenue which is a lie because we had occupied 60 rooms Why would you put other guest in the middle of all the rooms At the end of the night when we came back from our event we decided to go to Tap house 2020 and we were told that the hotel called and said we were too rowdy and not to accept our wedding block I came back to the hotel and when we confronted the GM Melinda, she denied it When my nephew went up to speak to the front desk about why they called the tap house 2020, the GM came out and said I am tired of everyone coming and asking me questions and she is calling the cops Are you serious, the hotel does not know how to handle a large crowd The hotel should not host any wedding room block You can’t threaten to call the police when someone is asking question and you don’t feel like answering The GM and the staff ruined our happy day and upset the bride and the groom

Absolutely excellent hotel! Staff is so kind and friendly and the rooms are very spacious, clean, and welcoming The staff helped us with anything we needed making sure we were well looked after I enjoyed the beautiful indoor pool that was so relaxing

There is a target store in the same parking lot as the hotel so if you need groceries or any last minute shopping you can do so easily I look forward to staying here again

Kelly A

This hotel was a immaculate I love staying here I am from that area this place was newly built about 8 months ago It’s in the same parking lot as Target and across the street from Menlo Park Mall so that is great My room was exceptional I had a double Queen suite

So there was two different rooms with a door that closed for the little living area where you had a sleeper sofa a chair a television then there was a kitchenette with a small table and chairs a refrigerator a dishwasher microwave and a two burner glass stove top They provided you with dishes and silverware as well as dishwasher cleaner My bed was so comfortable and that was in a separate room when you walk it through the living area you open the door and there were the two big beds the bathroom was really nice overall I give this place five stars They have a pool they do serve breakfast the staff there is amazing they want to do whatever they can to make you happy and answer any questions or be helpful in any way at all They do have a basketball court in the back as well as two sitting and lounging areas outside with beautifully done gas fire pits It was gorgeous and relaxing and I’m extremely satisfied with all of their service And it’s right down the road from route 1 that takes you everywhere and anywhere you want to go but it is extremely busy that highway besides that the place was amazing the location was great and I definitely will be coming back They also have a really large parking lot and they have two charging stations for your electric vehicles so that was convenient as well

Pool was refreshing and weight room has lots of options (dumbells, cardio, kettle bells, cable machine, etc) Side plus, 2 minute walk from Target and Starbucks(inside Target) One of the best stays at a hotel!

Nice clean spacious rooms in a great location, the gym is well equipped as well There wasn’t a microwave, or fridge in the rooms which is a negative but doable seeing as the hotel also has a stocked bar that serves great food The reason for the 3 star review is a private event rented out the bar and kicked all paying hotel guests out, highly inconvenient and will affect my choices and recommendation in the future

Update: The bartender’s servers and other employees that I had the pleasure of interacting with deserve 5 stars, they are amazing people that are doing a fantastic job (even the bartender that said we could not be served because of the private event, he was fantastic the following night no hard feelings he was just doing what he was told) The place in general is 4 stars The rating is strictly off of general upkeep, there are a few blemishes that could use some professional touches to ensure the maintenance personnel are able to keep up a 5 star appearance

Great location… an easy commute to the city I like being outside of the hustle and bustle, noise, crime, and grit of NYC The hotel itself isa five minute walk to the train

The room are spacious and clean Whenever I call for service, they send someone right away Friday & Saturday night jazz in the cafe is an outstanding bonus I am very happy I chose this place

Stay away from this hotel This rooms were dirty, bathrooms were not clean, furniture was old and dinged Service was horrible

We got in at 11 am at night and there were 2 couples before us waiting for their room They were told that they couldn’t find their reservation Those poor people showed them that they booked thru Hilton Instead of talking to these people and apologizing that they double booked, the front desk called cops Long story short, same thing happened to us They couldn’t find our reservation and had double booked and gave our rooms to someone else, even though we are Hilton honor members and booked through Hilton website After an hour and a half, they gave us a room with a King ( we had reserved a queen- 2 adults and 2 kids) The room was dirty The floor was not clean Front desk had to go down and get us towels The bathroom was dirty as well and there was a half used shower gel left in the shower stallWe could not sleep at all as this room faced the garage and had unloading loading noises all throughout the night and early morning After talking to the front desk, they finally shifted to a room with two queens and gave us free breakfast, the next day which was niceThe room that they switched us to was clean but of course the furniture was old and had scratches and dings on it The front desk manager was nice told us that we wont be charged for that night as a courtesy and she apologized However, they charged us for NO SHOW for the first nightThis hotel has lot of problems Younger lady at front desk was very rude did not apologize They have horrible serviceIf they are negative ratings, I would give them a negative 10 Do yourself a favor and do not stay at this hotel The only good thing about this hotel was eclectic decor

The staff was friendly and helpful We were far away from home and needed shuttle service, Uber service, and food delivery The hotel staff helped me with all of it

Also, we were in town to take my daughter to a special hospital, but because of the time of the appointment, we were going to have to check out, carry our luggage with us to the hospital, and then come back and wait in the hotel lobby for about 3 hours before our shuttle arrived When we came down for the free breakfast (which was wonderful), I asked the guy at the front desk if it would be alright for us to stay in the lobby all afternoon He told me he would schedule us for late check out, which allowed us to leave our luggage in the room, eat lunch there, and only have a 45 minute wait in the lobby It worked out perfectly! Plus, the room was very nice We also used the fitness center and bought lots of snacks and drinks from their little store I’m so thankful we stayed here!

Here on business w my husband It’s utilitarian and serves it’s purpose for business travel, not luxury or vacay

Breakfast is nothing to write home about, they basically stop refills quarter to 9 so be early It was fine until the cleaning lady asked me 3 times BEFORE the noon check-out deadline if I was leaving, twice by knocking on my door! Highly annoying, since I was not there past noon! It was an OK 3 stars at most stay

I believe in giving places second chances And this Hampton in North Brunswick/New Brunswick was so much better the second time around The young lady at the front desk, Sam, is a “world class” professional

She spoke kindly, accurately, and sincerely to me and my girlfriend as we checked in Sam told us about breakfast, she informed us that the pool was open (despite a sign saying it was closed) and, even got us towels and walked us to the pool door to let us go inThe room was very nice too Bed was comfy, bathroom had enough towels for two people to shower off after a dip in the pool Television remote worked and the air conditioning unit was easy to control and understandAs a Hilton Honors (silver) I was very happy with this hotel And despite one bad previous experience, I believe this place redeemed itself with better customer service Thanks again to Sam at the front desk, you are a superstar front desk receptionist!

The worst guest service I have ever encountered in my life My family had just experienced an electrical fire in our home so we had to make a last minute reservation here My father, who booked the reservation, stayed behind to speak with the first responders and our now traumatized dog

We arrive to an extremely rude concierge refusing to allow us in, demanding that my father arrive to present ID After explaining our dire situation to them, we were met with shrugs and complete and utter disregard They did not offer any solution except for us to call corporate or have my father show up We were forced to look for somewhere else to stay- it’s pouring outside and late Beyond dissatisfactory- the staff clearly needs retraining I’ll never forget how they treated me and my family in a time of need A shame

Maliah K

So let’s start off this review with the front desk Some of them are friendly and a great help and some need training againNow lets go to breakfast

I really wish they had better breakfast The oatmeal is watery Coffee taste like it is old and they never wash the coffee machine The tables were dirty The dishes looked like they were ran through just hot water and no soap I was very disappointed with the breakfastNow let’s talk about the pool place There are towels everywhere As a guest you should pick up your towel and put it in the basket but for the guest who are to good for that the housekeeping will not bother picking them up I saw the same towel there for days! When you ask for towels for the pool they will give you the white towels There is this machine that is there and covered up you can see the rust on it and its grossThe pool itself is dirty They might clean the pool after weeks While i was swimming in the pool i looked down and there was a bunch of hair in thereThe water looked murkie That is how you know the pool is not clean The windows in the pool area are dirty Around the pool looks like no one cares to clean it You can see the smudges all over the windows It looks really bad! The hot tub has been out of order for a hot minute now Another annoying thing i came across is that they were swimming lessons going on I did not know that guest have to deal with swimming classes I think that is very unprofessional and very uncomfortableNow about the rooms They are a good size rooms it’s just that they smell dingy Thinking it is just me i wanted to give them the benefit of doubt Friday Housekeeping came and let me tell you how i was shocked with their cleaning They will not wipe the nightstands The headboard you can see marks on there as well I left some stuff there and when i came back it was still there The linen does not smell clean at all Nothing they put out smells clean or washed It has a very dingy smell The bathroom mirrors you can see the smudges and toothpaste marks The wall to the side of the mirror you can see toothpaste marks there as well The shower area the only thing they do in the tub is rinse it with water There was hair along side the walls on the toilet seat and if you looked close enough there was hair behind the bathroom door alongside the walls Now the kitchen They do not wipe down the counters at all The dishes in the dishwater are only run through water When we came back and went to use the dishes there was food marks still on there the glass and spoons had marks on them as well I then had to put dish detergent in the dishwasher and run it again The hallways smelly dingy as well It is like they never clean the carpets THE PRODUCTS THEY USE IF THEY USE ANY ARE CHEAP AND NASTY THEY NEED TO RETRAIN OR HIRE NEW CLEANING PEOPLE There are a few nice cleaning people but majority of them need to learn how to talk to guest and not make them feel uncomfortableThe guest who stay here regardless them being long term or short term pay money to stay here The management does not use good cleaning products or the right equipment to clean Cleaning also does not happen everyday day I think it is twice a week When you take money from us for staying there everyday you should have them clean the rooms everyday as wellI know Marriott is a very well know name I have stayed at many around the world I would say that the hotels in third world countries are way cleaner than the one here in Woodbridge NJ Would i recommend anyone to stay here no never Management really needs to step up their game in cleaning the place

The two women who checked me in for my stay were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful!!I did have an issue the second morning of my stay I was rudely awakened by a woman who seemed to be management knocking on my door I open the door to chat with this woman, and she explained that my card on file declined for the charges

Understandable that this is a concern for the property, however instead of taking a gentle, friendly approach – which should be used toward guests (especially who you just woke up) she decided to tell me that payment is due now and ‘normally in these situations police would be called in 30 minutes” TMI and offensive in my opinion As a titanium elite member, I really did not appreciate the insinuation that I could not afford to pay, or the approach this woman took with addressing the issue at hand I went straight to the front desk and completed my payment The issue was a simple lock that I had placed on my cardThe room I was in was very spacious and the layout was excellent However the furniture arrangement was arkward and uncomfortable, so I took it upon myself to rearrange the suite to a more comfortable layout (as shown in images) Several things were broken / not functioning properly, all of which were easy fixes that I personally addressed

Beautiful hotel Everything I needed in my room, cozy bed, and very clean There is a bar on site, but I didn’t use it

The less than exceptional reading is because the hotel is located right next to the highway The roar of traffic, sirens, loud motorcycles, and 18 wheelers on their jake brakes, plus trash pick up at 4 AM, made for a less than great stay I recommend staying here, but if you’re not used to the NJ noise, choose an odd numbered room for the quietest side of the building

Jewel Twin

I shared this experience with my soon to be hubby I enjoyed our stay there It was just as amazing as it was when we were there three months ago

I love it The whirlpool is amazing I feel so relaxed when I get out I must say the make to order breakfast is through the roof The breakfast is absolutely delicious Thank u for our incredible stay The staff is very accommodating to our needs

Purusha Jackson-Cox

Enjoyed my brief stay at this hotel Parking was no problem and location was just off major parkway for easy access to I-95 For us, we were just where we needed to be to get to Iselin and Monroe Twp,quickly

Hotel had large rooms, hot fresh breakfast, bar and dining area ,pool and fitness room Great value for the price The only thing I did not like was you were given a coupon for breakfast Not sure why, but once you handed it in I guess you could not go back for seconds My kids all eat at different times so this was just a bit annoying but not a big problem Vending machines and ice machines were on our floor, which was the 4th floor Snacks and drinks were also for sale, near check in

We enjoyed our stay here My family stayed in the 2 queen suite with pullout couch The beds were comfortable

Shower pressure was strong The breakfast was okay They had a variety to choose from each morning There was always coffee in the lobby as well We stayed here to visit NYC, which was about 30 min with traffic to the Staten Island ferry Which I highly recommend My youngest daughter enjoyed the pool as well Water temps were comfortable… the hot tub could have been a little warmer To access the pool and fitness area you need to have the front desk personnel key you in, which u thought was weirdThey do not provide bedding for the pullout couch so u need to call down for that but they are prompt once called The road it’s on is quite busy but I honestly didn’t hear any traffic until late morning I would stay here again

B Reveau

I used to think of Holiday Inn Expresses as no-frills but pleasant stays Not anymore The room reeked of mold and mildew with damp carpet and blankets

I tried desperately to sleep and woke up at 4 AM unable to sleep anymore because of the moldy smell, finding mold on the window I could feel the cells of disease growing in my body because of the mold On the positive side, the breakfast was good, the room was clean except for the mold, and the check-in woman was nice The breakfast area was extremely hot and unpleasant, however The jacuzzi in the pool area was too cold and had an unbearable amount of chlorine that stung my eyes I can see from the other reviews the hotel staff lie in response to that allegation and state some part of the pool is broken – clearly not true A horrible place to which I vow to never return and couldn’t wait to come home to advise others to steer clear – unless you love breathing mold through your nose and mouth all night

bevin holcroft

This place was horrible! By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Our “suite” smelled of old cigarettes and fresh marijuana There were children screaming and running up and down the halls until after 1:30am When I checked out at 4am to catch a flight, there was were suspicion dealing going on out of the front of the hotel

Do not stay here!!! My in-laws stayed at the comfort inn and had a very nice night, I suggest that as a much better option!

We arrived and was given a room that upon first entry was clean and it appeared everything was fine The room happened to be on the side with a lot of street traffic, which made sleeping the first night completely impossible That next morning, we realized the a/c didn’t work properly and we had an unwanted “guest” (rhymes with coach!) in our bathroom

We spoke with Amanda at the front desk and she was able to move us to the opposite side of the hotel room we were in THAT room was also clean, a/c worked and sleep that night was great! Breakfast selection was nice Amanda is the reason I’m able to give this hotel a better rating than I would have if we stayed in the room we were given

Thallis Miranda

We were very disappointed, I have never left a bad review in any of the dozens of hotels I’ve stayed through the country or world Lights weren’t working, service at front desk neglected to take requests Other customer complaining constantly, one gentleman checked in his room and small daughter to find blood stains on bed sheets

Last time we stayed there we loved it (about 2 years ago) seems like no updates have been done at all since, neither has any repairs There was puke in the entrance sink to the room The paper towel at the lobby men’s bathroom was empty for all 4 days we stayed there Breakfast was dry and cold, attendant didn’t care much when advised about breakfast essentials such as cups and food ran out We paid the same price for what we could’ve paid staying in Manhattan Unfortunately we will not be recommending this hotel neither will we be returning again

Mario Jones

The rooms in this place are extremely out dated and unsanitary However the ladies at the front desk were extremely nice and helpful, that’s the reason why I gave this place at least (2) star’s The breakfast was non existent, no juice only water, nothing but cereal and bread, a few old stale bagels and boiled eggs

We used to love this place, but I can’t imagine recommending this place any longer to my company HR department when our travelers fly into liberty airport
