The room was spacious, clean and has every thing that you can ask for (modern bathroom, small fridge, coffee maker, microwave, vent in the bathroom and handheld shower head) Staff were nice and checking in and checking out were good too 4 stars because when we entered the room it had a smoking smell that didn’t go away, as if someone just finished smoking

So I guess the carpet smells that way from a previous guest because all the hotel rooms are not smoking as per the receptionist

I work for a company that travels a lot This company they are Choice Hotel members Platinum members So as you know we travel a lot we’re on the road

It’s very tiring and exhausting The rooms are very clean everything so modern and up-to-date Service is amazing We had an issue what’s people above us We did not sleep all night After getting in at 12 and being woken up at 5 am call the front desk Warning was given This continued throughout the night Finally after a second complaint people upstairs were told to leave and we were compensated for the room Ends up being a free stay Excellent service by far Very satisfied the way Management in front desk handled this situation Staff is very courteous and considerate always asking if there’s anything we needed You’re looking for a place to stay clean rooms Bluetooth mirrors in the bathroom updated everything Comfortable beds clean clean clean This would be a Clear Choice in a place to rest your head for the evening or a week You’ll be well taken care of by the staff

Chuck Ng

Stayed for a week here Overall it was a good experience The place is next to a grocery store and starbucks so you can pick up anything you need for your stay

The room wasn’t the cleanest, there was some hairs left over and the chair was quite dirty The bathroom was clean and modern We didn’t spend much time at the place other than sleeping so I can’t speak to the pool, gym, or food My final charge was more than what I was quote during my reservation from their website After waiting for them to “look into it” they said the room rates were correct and they’re not sure what was wrong They didn’t honor the reservation price

We had such a wonderful stay here this past weekend The hotel – lobby, market, and rooms – is beautiful and the staff is so lovely Doug helped me when I checked in

My card wasn’t working so he instructed me on how to do an online authorization so we could make it work He was so polite and patient with the fact that I was making check in more complicated And the whole while I enjoyed chatting with him and the other front desk staff He was pleasant each time we had to stop by the desk to get parking validated The staff at the bar and the coffee shop/market were also incredibly friendly The whole time I just felt like we were staying with friends Everything about it was just great I will absolutely stay here again

C

Stayed here for a wedding Overall wonderful experience! The staff were great The rooms were very clean and had awesome amenities

My experience would have been better if there was a full restaurant, room service, and breakfast was served for a bit longer If it wasn’t for the wedding close by I may not have stayed at this hotel because it’s quite pricey, but it was a great stay and well worth it

Gordon Hetrick

Made reservations about 2 weeks in advance Tried to use AAA or Senior Discounts (NO GO BECAUSE I WENT TO 3RD PARTY) Price way to High but needed to attend Funeral Memorial

PAID for High Level Floor (2 Queens) and put on 4th Floor Front Desk at check-in was talking to everybody but me Got their 4:45 PM had to go back to front desk 3 times to check on room Got room at 5:55 PM Went to Bar had a Draft Beer $750 (Could get a case for $32) Ask about Breakfast (was to be provided) but said they were remodeling Website didn’t let you know that $2000 for parking in lot connected to Hotel All in All will not stay their again HIGH Expectations LOW Results That’s just my opinion Very $$$ stay for 1 Night

This hotel is close to Cape Liberty for cruising Only 30 minute drive Have stayed here one time prior years ago

The entire hotel has been renovated and looks beautiful Prices are competitive The hot breakfast was great, so many choices from waffles to oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, and more The restaurant in the hotel is VERY pricey even for everyday items Overall a great stay!

Very clean and spacious rooms However, service was lacking – specifically asked for the room to be cleaned and no one cleaned it Also had a kettle in the room with no base

When asked, they told us they would check tomorrow Then we had to ask again the next day to follow up and they told us they didn’t have kettles in the rooms anymore so it shouldn’t be thereBreakfast is subpar and does not vary – would be improved with more fruit options and reduction in processed foods

For the record, I am a Best Western Diamond member, and I’ve probably stayed at fifty or more different Best Western Hotels I love giving good reviews, and I hate giving bad ones, which I have done My philosophy is to be honest when the emperor has no clothes

This is a good review of The Hub Murray Hill, BW Premier Collection, Address: 535 Central Ave, New Providence, NJ 07974I stayed here for two nights in late March 2022, for the first time This is a hotel in transition from a Best Western hotel to what is now called a boutique hotel There are many obvious upgrades and a couple of hiccups that need to be adjusted Here’s the key thing, management (Mishko) is very responsive to guest needs Checking in and out was easy-peasy and parking was plentifulThe important stuff My room was spacious with a king-sized bed The mattress was delightful, the pillows exquisite, and the bed linen was excellent The Samsung TV was larger and of better quality than any in any BW hotel I’ve been to The channel selection was a bit better than average The heating was excellent And the room was set up for the latest technology, including a wireless charger HICCUP: There was no safe in my roomThe bathroom and shower were commodious, although, as is the new BW style, there was a need for more shelf space on the vanity HICCUP: The shower needed one or two bars for safety purposes Sometimes people get dizzy and need something to grab HICCUP: The was no place to hang a towel for reuseI enjoyed the coffee in the nicely appointed lobby I was able to comfortably socialize with friends There was also a library of books and a small business center HICCUP: The first two times I went for coffee the urn was emptyThe area is pleasant and there are many fine places to dine We enjoyed breakfast one morning at the Prestige Diner, ask for Gabriel and on the second morning, we picked up bagels at the Bagel Café and ate them in the lobby We also had sandwiches from the nearby Jersey Mike’s that were quite goodI recommend this hotel, without reservations, and I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I didNOTE: I rated this hotel with 4 stars Given the opportunity, my ratings would be 45 Stars

As a Hilton fan, we are a bit disappointed The check in was very smooth, staff was very friendly and helpful Room was very comfortable, great view, but be awarded pictures can be misleading

outdoor pool is not as fancy and big as we expected, a lot of people using it daily( at least when we were there), patio is part of the restaurant for outdoor dinning, cant just go in there and enjoy the seating parking is not free, will cost you 18 dollar per night no microwave at all in the room or lobby Breakfast was not impressive Staff were nice, but really short staffed do your calculation before booking

Richard Krasney

Samantha help us book our wedding block rooms and sent up complementary champagne with my wife’s name on the label, as well as chocolate covered strawberries She was so great to work with and the hotel couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful They even helped us when her ride to the wedding didn’t show up and she was dressed in her wedding dress waiting to go to the ceremony

The hotel stepped up with their Hilton Honors Cadillac and got her there in time for the ceremony Thank you for making our stay so special and memorable

Nate B

Ok this hotel is very very nice in regards to the rooms Recently renovated however they charge 18$ a night for parking AND make sure you double check the bill! They might double charge you If you’re Hilton honors the 15$ meal credit is essentially worthless for breakfast

Coffee is 7$ and They charge 20$ on average for their meals which are merger at best! I would skip this Hilton location and go to their Home 2 down the road with free99 breakfast AND free parking

The hallways smelled Really awful on the 2nd and 3rd floor**It is not really a hotel flaw, so I can’t blame them for that I found out while looking for an ice machine, which they don’t have even though the map (blurry due to casing being matte) by the elevator mentions “Ice” with no indication of where it actually is

I believe someone cooked extremely strong scented ethnic foodAlso, I’m assuming that they Had ice machines at one point and got rid of the machine due to the pandemic or something else No ice machines to be found on any of the floors Nonetheless, the employee in the kitchen on the first floor by the bar was nice enough to give us iceThe hallways need to be ventilated or something, the smell was very strong and stale air Other than that, the rooms are very clean and there was minor wear and tear, but nothing that I can imagine would bother anyone unless you’re a perfectionistThe kitchen was stocked with some cups, plates, a cheese grater, fridge, etc Seems fine for 1-2 people max Rooms are very small, but comfortable1 star for odor in hallways and elevators (deducted from “Rooms”)0 star for the view behind the hotel 😂 it’s a construction site or a recent demolition Again, not really the hotels fault and that’s not exactly a deal breaker for people who are just visiting the area short-term or need a place to crash for the night

Aaron Guzman

Horrible experience here Before booking I called and spoke to manager to clarify check in and check out policy, all seemed wellUpon arriving, the woman at the desk “couldn’t find” the reservation I had paid for in advance

Eventually she found it, room is nice but the dishes dishes were not clean and there was trash in the couch crevicesNow three days later I need to check out 1 day early, as discussed before hand The woman who was at the counter this time was much more helpful and polite, props to herAll of a sudden the smug manager (same guy I spoke with before booking) comes out and begins explaining that he won’t allow me to check out early as discussedUpon reviewing both of our sets of notes and asking for further clarification the manager was unable to show me the policy he’s referencing and refused to pull up the call recordings where he claims he told me otherwiseHe said “it would be a lot of work to pull up that call”I guess when something requires work they just don’t do it…As a business owner myself, I can say, this is not how you treat customersThis was a simple bait and switch to force me to pay for the additional night that I did not need, since the beginningAlso, although I clicked “no housekeeping” when I booked online, housekeepers walked in on me while I was sleeping this morning

JoAnn Kelleher

Wish I could rate the stay but I’m sitting in the lobby as the room is not ready even though check in was at 3 pm It is now 3:47 pm We have been here since 1pm as we were told that we could use the facilities prior to check in

But when we said we wanted to use the pool we were told no After speaking to the manager, he said we could use the pool but also said our room would be done soon I’ll check in again and tell you how it’s going!

Helena Friss

We booked a wedding block of rooms for my daughter’s wedding, after the previous one we had booked over a year ago cancelled our bookings about 6 weeks before the wedding because of lack of A/C Worked with Jennifer in Sales who couldn’t have been more helpful in making the transfer of rooms seamless; our guests did not have to rebook but just received an email with a new confirmation The hotel was beautiful, rooms were great, and the continental breakfast the next morning was in a private room, well staffed, and more than adequate

Jennifer relieved the stress of this snafu and I am grateful!

Jyoti Suryadevara

We used the Hilton Parsippany to host our wedding guests The Hotel was great in setting up a wedding block and working with us to add more rooms even 2 days before the big day! Amanda was great and worked behind the scenes to make sure everything was running smoothly The restaurants at the hotel were all open

The steakhouse is great and super convenient for a latte night meal The lobby bar was open and the cocktails are great! All the staff were nice! My guests and myself are very happy with the our weekend experience

Marybeth Kelly

Very poor experience Upon check in, no carts available for luggage No bell staff

Had to lug a car full to room Ordered Instacart Brought half up to room, by the time we returned other half was missing Talked with front desk about cameras They stated cameras were only in monitoring front door I explained that’s where ours delivery was dropped off She went to back and came out 10 minutes later and said nothing was seen Rooms were absolutely filthy No housekeeping service accept a morning round of cleaning up halls full of food Strong stench Housekeepers were very pleasant and accommodating when seen one round a day Staff sleeping at front desk early in the morning It would only make sense to have one of them make a quick round on the 6 floors overnight to clean hall trash Gym equipment Broken and very minimal Could not get home soon enough If we weren’t here for an event, we would have left immediately upon arrival Disgusting We all felt sick in the room and would rather catch fresh air outside in the heat wave Don’t go to this hotel

Depending on how you get here and where you are going, you will be well-rounded on loop ramps! Sadly, it’s on a one-way highway and around we go to get to this MarriottOnce there

very nice! Great staff checked us in to a well appointed room Breakfast in the morning for elite members and an Irish pub at night timeThe hotel has a weight room, but the pool was closedRates are the highest in the area, so not certain I’ll be back but I have stayed at worse places

Laureli Hattaway

Good enough accommodations Multiple spill stains on the walls in our room, but everything else was sanitary Maid service is only upon request, a surprise for our 4 night stay, realized at a point when it wouldn’t be worth it anyways

They sent up fresh towels for us though and on our third day, I brought my own trash cans into the hall and a maid emptied them for meThe pool and hot tub were closed the whole time we were there 🙁 But showers were hot Overall, this place is good for a safe, clean place to sleep The Auld Shebeen was the best part of this place

Julie Moser

Hotel was very nice! We are here for 3 nights! Staff seemed very nice! Rooms clean! The restaurant in the hotel was AMAZING!!! Had an issue with the mini fridge not working twice and they put another mini fridge in so we had no other issues with it! My only complaint which is why I gave 4 stars is that our room was connected to the next room by a thin door! Our neighbors were sooooo loud till the middle of the night! So loud that it literally sounded like they were in our room! They were obnoxiously loud which made sleeping a nightmare! We put music on to try to sleep and that hardly helped! I’ve never experienced anyone so loud so late at a hotel luckily, until now! For the price we paid it’s extremely disappointing to have to deal with this! We mentioned it to a worker who apologized but nothing was done about it! I’m a very light sleeper so this was extremely frustrating to me! Nice hotel all in all, just wish we would have gotten some good sleep!!

Sorry to say this hotel is declining in quality, though still preferred over other area hotels The rooms are nice and clean, but no longer well appointed and are run down No extra blanket, hotel menus are not in the rooms, room service is pleasant but you’ll eat with plastic utensils and food in aluminum containers

The breakfasts are great, buffet style, and will cost at least twenty dollars, but worth it Don’t look for a TV guide to channels, it’s not there In general, one expects better quality from a Hilton

Merde Mail

Average Lobby is lovely, restaurant is good Breakfast is a little pricey

Room was starting to show its age: poor caulking, carpet was dirty, and the shower faucet was dangerously close to falling offFront desk staff was mostly pleasant One female was rude and unpleasant Was purchasing snacks & drinks and she acted very inconvenienced by my presence, said very little, couldn’t even be bothered to tell me I was all set Left me standing there awkwardly until I finally had to ask, “Am I good to go?” I got a curt yes in replyParking spaces are very tight

Nicholas Lippa

The lobby and facilities were very pleasant and well kept but the rooms appeared to be severely lacking Furniture in our room was heavily blemished with gouges out of wood surfaces and hazed over windows from lack of exterior cleaning The vent in the bathroom appeared to have not been working for an extremely long time as the light fixtures in the bathroom showed signs of rust and pitting

All of this combined with what at this point felt like a somewhat outdated room for a premium price coupled with the lack of even a complimentary breakfast left a rather sour experience overall as it wasn’t necessarily bad but felt more akin to a run of the mill motel rather than a brand that is supposed to carry some type of prestige such as the Hilton

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

Kimberly Bean

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

Humaira Kazmi

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

Jason Garrigan

Overall a great hotel, and definitely plan on staying here again if in the area Check in was easy, the room was great, and breakfast at the restaurant was really good and decently priced Couple weird quirks, no top sheet on the beds, no wash clothes, and didn’t seem a waiter knew I was sitting outside, but that’s probably just due to new staff/lack of staff everyone is experiencing right now

Would recommend this place and would stay again, think the money we paid for the stay was perfect

S Bess

Rooms are small but clean Personnel are friendly and helpful (with one notable exception) At check in, we asked about available upgrades and were told that we were receiving a complimentary upgrade

The man then gave us a room that, we found out later, was not supposed to be available for guests due to major maintenance issues and was NOT an upgrade even if the door and the sink worked properly It was clear that he deliberately lied to us as we found out two days later, when we were told that we had to move rooms and we should never have been in that room because of the well documented issues and that room upgrades were not a thing at this hotel and we hadn’t received one (which was obvious as soon as we saw our room) Moving rooms unexpectedly made us late for an appointmentOther than the deliberate lie and deliberately putting us in a room with a security issue (door did not shut properly), the stay was a positive experience

Bret Williams

A very pleasant enough remodel The linens and general vibe was nice However, a couple of peeves: the desk chairs are not on wheels

Makes it very difficult to move close enough to do work while easily getting up Second, the lighting in the bathroom is way too dimAlso, the wallpaper in my room was peeling at the jointsGreat location and friendly staff Needs some work, though to make it a 4 or 5 star hotel

A group of us booked 3 separate rooms 4 months before an upcoming wedding, and ALL of our rooms were canceled last minute They told us they would help us rebook at another hotel, but when we called they said they wouldn’t help us Like what the hell? It’d be fine if they canceled us way in advanced, but no they canceled 2 weeks before the trip and at this point most of the other hotels around that area seem to be booked out for other events

Absolutely terrible customer service, never even looking at another Sonesta hotel in the future

I definitely don’t see how people have given this place 4 and 5 stars I’ve spent nights at the Wyndham in different states and can say my boyfriend and I were very disappointed The room had NO mini fridge

The drain to the shower was clogged so every time we showered the tub filled up The curtain in the bathroom had a old dirty rag musty smell that was a little nauseating Found hairs in the shower the first night I am a pretty tall female so I can’t imagine what it’s like for someone shorter than me to access the safe It was in the closet on the top shelf I couldn’t see if anything was in it and struggled to even put my purse in it and locking it Tennis court was horrible Basketball court was used for employee parking Elevator didn’t seem to secure, you could barely push the buttons without the panel moving with itThe good things about the hotel was the television stations were good, the air conditioner worked fine, had hot water when showering, gym had good equipment

We had Excellent service here The spa was clean with plenty of towels The rooms were spotless

The room also turned out to look better than the photos you see online The linen is very clean and soft The toiletries are very soothing to the skin The beds and pillows are very comfortable The doors are wide enough for wheelchair access even if a handicapped access room isn’t available Their onsite restaurant have a variety of food and drink and stays open late Also the dining room have some 😋 delicious food If you come back from a late venue like we did the hotel has the menu for a nearby restaurant that delivers to the hotel and they make some spectacular food This hotel staff go over and above to make sure your stay is comfortable If I’m ever in the NY/NJ area again I will definitely stay here again

Very grateful to Lisa Davis, the pastry chef, for the delicious cakes that she makes for us over the last few years Her pastries are not sugary at all like they normally are in the US Lisa’s cakes taste more European (I would say that they are the best I’ve tried in America)

This year for my birthday my husband ordered a coconut/vanilla with chocolate glaze and it was absolutely delicious!! A small tip – if you are able to keep the cake for a couple of days in the fridge it only gets better (so don’t hesitate to order a bigger size)) We all can’t recommend it enough and will definitely come back for more! Thank you Lisa!

Took my partner here for her birthday The place was beautiful, and we managed to get an entire dining room to ourselvesAppetizers were great, we got crispy brussel sprouts and a salad

Dinner was very disappointing I got duck cooked medium and it was served under done She got a steak (medium-well) which was cooked terribly The left side of the steak was rare, and the right side was well done as if only half of the steak was on the grill, everything between was like progressively cooked I couldn’t mess up a steak like that If I triedDesserts were okay I got a tres leches and it was pretty good, she got a chocolate cake and it was dry( as if it was old) and lacking flavorOverall, consitering how highly recommended this place was, I was extremely disappointed This place only gets 2 stars for the atmosphere and the great wait staff

After staying in many many hotels this one has got to be at the top of my favorite Grandly unique and ornate I enjoyed walking around and seeing the history and art of the place

The room was comfortable and fashionable The pool was absolutely my favorite part and I went first thing in the morning so I was lucky enough to have it all to myself The only quorum I have is with the front desk staff A little bit of an attitude and when I asked for assistance it took a little due to the conversation the two ladies were having Overall though, highly highly recommend

Nil Chalfant

The rooms are a great size and very spacious I didn’t realize when I booked that it was an extremely popular wedding spot There was an private event every evening during the week, which I am sure is perfect for those attending

Not so great for everyone else The overall quality of the extras (soaps, breakfast, refreshments) is below average, imo They do have a dated, but cozy elegance and I enjoyed the fun pineapple them throughout the hotel

Christian DeVaul

Easily the worst “5-star” hotel experience I’ve ever had The TV didn’t work at all, breakfast was just cold hard-boiled eggs, and I’ve had a more luxurious room at a Holiday Inn I highly recommend staying at the Hyatt instead, weddings are great here I’m sure, but everything else is disgraceful! The “2 restaurants” are really only one restaurant with a hybrid menu? Which makes absolutely no sense

But the staff seemed nice at least

It’s absolutely beautiful! The grounds are beautifully maintained Everything is lovingly cared for The rooms are well appointed with very comfortable beds

The vintage charm is genuine and off the charts There are many areas, inside and out, for your ideal photo ops The Grain House Restaurant has delicious American cuisine, some of which is prepared with the abundance of delights growing in their own organic garden This lovely Inn is well worth your trip from near or far

Briana Falconer

I can’t say enough good things about Olde Mill Inn! This venue is perfect if you’re looking to have your wedding ceremony, reception and hotel accommodations in one place Lindsay was our coordinator and the day went absolutely perfectly! Before the wedding day, planning was easy and thorough The day of, Lindsay was readily available any time I had a question and she made sure that my bridal party and I had everything we needed wherever we were

I had a ton of decor and the team did a fabulous job of setting it up just the way I wanted it The reception space looked even better than I could have imagined and the food was excellent! The staff was so professional and every made sure everything was packed and secure in our overnight suite I highly recommend this venue!

Wedding venue review: Best day of our lives We truly can’t say enough good things about the Olde MillIf you’re lucky enough to work with Lindsay (sales) or David (maitre d’), you are in the best of hands

Both were excellent at communication, responding to emails and calls right away, and took care of every last detail Planning was a breeze and on the day of, David made sure that not a thing was out of place The ballroom looked stunning, all of our personal items were set up exactly as we’d hoped, and on our 100 degree wedding day, David was somehow everywhere we needed with an ice cold water The little things made us feel really special too – David brought us and our parents special plates of the cocktail hour food (since we were so busy talking with our guests), and even had food waiting for us in our hotel room for after the reception, (as we were having too much fun to eat our dinners)!Speaking of – the food was delicious We received so many compliments from guests and the staff were so friendly and attentiveIn terms of the venue, the whole place is beautiful and we LOVED having accommodations for our guests right there with no need for transportation It also worked out great for guests to grab continental breakfast the next morning tooWe are not people who usually write reviews, but we would not have changed a single thing about out wedding day and can’t recommend the Olde Mill Inn enoughBonus – we had our rehearsal dinner at the Grain House, which was also perfect Wishing we could hit repeat on the whole weekend!
