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!

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE FOR A HOTEL BLOCK FOR A WEDDING!!! What a disaster this place is!!!! Nobody knows what’s going on They told us we could check in early (2:00pm) We get here, and EVERY SINGLE ROOM IN THE HOTEL BLOCK is dirty

So here we are, a ton of wedding guests, waiting around needing to get changed for a wedding but can’t go anywhere because every room is dirty Finally we get into our room at 3:25 STILL DIRTY! House cleaning was STILL MAKING OUR BEDS when we walked in Then they tell us the shuttle is going to leave at 4:15 It’s currently 4:35pm with no shuttle in sight THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER DO NOT BOOK IT FOR A WEDDING You’re guests will have no where to get ready and no one will move quick enough to figure out solutions to a problem AWFUL

We stayed here for a New Year’s Eve getaway & had a blast! The heated pool is a good size for a small hotel The fitness center is clean & well maintained with everything we wanted The hot breakfast was good (except for all the styrofoam & disposables but you’ll have that in this day and age unfortunately)

Most importantly, and those I really want to acknowledge, are the staff there Wow! Ruthe and Amanda, the two front desk ladies FANTASTIC I mean talk about above & beyond! And then Darnell, the managerTERRIFIC Kudos to Holiday Inn for finding and keeping such great people on staff Highly recommended!

I’ve been a guest at this Fairfield Inn weekly for over a year This hotel is exactly as advertised

a business class hotel in a rural area with clean rooms, friendly and attentive proprietor and staff and continental breakfast It is not a luxury resort with swim up bar or patios for catching rays Instead, it is quiet and clean place to retire at the end of a long day at work

Gina Donelan

Didn’t want to give them even 1 star but had toWhen we first arrived we asked for the military discount which we were told we could get prior to arriving and they told us they could not give it Our stay was for 4 nightsALL breakfasts were quiche if you wanted anything warm

Other than that it was cereal Other occupants who came down while we were there opened the lid of the pan and after seeing it was quichemumbled a few words and put the lid back on taking nothingThe refrigerator in our room froze all our food so we had to throw out the foodA dirty mask was found beside the bedAnd No hot water on our last day before catching our planeContacted manager and after explaining all of this to him he ended up lecturing me than hanging up on me! I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this hotel!!!

Rithika Patel

We had a family event and stayed there for a day The rooms had a smell to them I found hair on the sheets and pillow covers, there was hair and debris in corners of the bathroom and the room

Also had droplets below the toilet seat that weren’t mopped up properly My seven year old even noticed how dusty the room was Not to mention, I accidentally left my shoe bag in the room, which I am a 100% sure I did, and called back that same evening when I realized it and they said they never found it I would have checked out if it wasn’t for all my family staying there I would never stay here again

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

The team at check in was very niceThe suite room was spacious and clean It had a balcony as well

I had dinner at the Ruby Tuesday that’s attached and was able to charge to the room The room charge slip indicates you could do room service as well and had a $2 charge for thatThe view from the room was nice right at twilightThe line for breakfast was a little bit long but I think it was because I went down at the most premium time There were several team members who came to pitch in and help and they were all very nice

Joseph B

Check in was fast and simple Room clean, spacious and well put together Does show its age

Pool was nice, does need better lighting and a good cleaning, but for the price and property expectations it gets the job done Morning breakfast spread is non existent Pre packaged muffins in 2 flavors I’d stay again but keep in mind just another hotel finding a quick exit to save money on breakfast rather take care of the paying customers

Jenifer Behrens

We stayed here for 4 nights for my sons baseball tournament From the time I called to make reservations to the time we left everyone was absolutey amazing We needed extra towels and they were super quick with gettinfthem to us

The staff was very warm and inviting Our room was amazing very clean beds and pillows were surprisingly comfortable I want to say one staff member needs a special shout out and that would be Inezshe truly went above and beyond and ALWAYS had a smile on her face She is the absolute sweetest Marriott I hope you see this because Inez is a special employee that you are very lucky to have If we are ever in the area we absolutely will be staying here againshe truly made our stay wonderful I cannot thank you enough I absolutey recomend this hotel The only downside is the bistro is not open on the weekends and have a limited menu for now HOWEVER the hotel does put out a variety of items on weekend so you can have a quick grab and go The young lady that made our items was wonderful My son accidentally dropped his bacon egg and cheese bagel on the floor and she quickly said let me make him a new one She did not have to do that but she did Our stay was wonderful Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our stay a great one

Stayed here for a lacrosse tournament in July Hotel is huge Rooms are large and the bed was comfortable

When we walked in the smell of stale cigarette smoke was overwhelming, there was the smell of old pot smoke when we got off the elevator Ice machine was out of order on our floor and we had to go up 3 floors There was no cold water even after lettingit run for quite some timewhich confused me

Armando Porroa

This is a nice place with a little old infraestructure but still enjoyable and with a touch of beautiful old fashioned details Rooms are still tidy and neat Remember that due to COVID-19 the cleaning is not every single day, but maybe after every 2 or 3 days

Large parking area around for free for guests Buffet breaks is pretty good with fresh options as fruits, yogurt, eggs done at your request or you can always take regular scrambled eggs from the table of hot dishesPersoneñ seems to be very helpful and are always trying to help you with everything about the food or drinks

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a hotel They compare hundreds of booking websites and typically will have rooms much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This hotel is one of the most well known in this area

I have been staying here for years If you decide to stay here you won’t regret itWe are staying 4 nights at this property 3 days before arriving, I called to find out if I could request a microwave in the room The front office manager, Amr Maged, was very helpful to explain that premium rooms come with microwave and there is a shared microwave on every floor for standard rooms He said he’ll see what he can do to get us a room with microwave Upon check-in, we were upgraded to a premium room with microwave The room is very nice, spacious and clean Thanks to Amr, we feel treated like valued guests at this hotel for the first time I say this because we stayed here twice previously, in July and November of last year and my requests for upgrade were denied both times despite me being a Spire elite The excuse on both occasions was no availability even though there were hardly any guests (judging by the number of cars in the parking lot)

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!

Peter Wikoff

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!

Good start to our visit was the warm & welcoming greeting by Fletcher who is professional courteous & friendly Our check-in was smooth and virtually enjoyable

Not to gush but some of the other front desk personnel were almost invisible or, when present, didn’t look up from the computer that we saw for the rest of our stay (it’s the little things and Fletcher is on it) The dining area staff were also wonderful Everyone was very pleasant and we marveled at how quickly items were refreshed so guests never ran short of any item The breakfast is well maintained, stocked and sufficient for continental fare but unless you like “cheesy potatoes and spinach quiche cups (or oatmeal) a bit lacking in variety The rooms are a bit small but well furnished You can make a full pot of coffee with the in room coffeemaker, but only 1 cup portions are provided, so you’ll need coffee & filters if you want to make a full pot The bathroom has a large shower and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided are quite nice As for room selection, normally the choice is for away from the front to avoid highway noise – the same is true here if your goal is a quiet sleep If the goal is a quiet afternoon/evening the front is preferable as the back has a basketball court To sum up – A good solid place to spend the night at a good value with some very good people (not kidding – Fletcher, the dining area staff and the people who maintain the rooms are just great) A good place to stay

Jim Pangborn

Hotel was not busy We’ve been here many times and had a pretty high status The room looked out onto the roof with the a/c mounted pretty high up (restricted view and light entering room from the lone window) They have a policy of washing all the dishes in the dishwasher

Dishes were in the dishwasher but not washed , hair dryer was non functional When we complained staff just shrugged their shoulders I had been a loyal Marriott customer But am beginning to re think With the pandemic, I am guessing quality of staff and service has fallen Hope it comes back soon and before I move on

Jonathan Canulli

3 rooms between the family Rooms were nice and fairly clean for the most part, dishes in the dishwasher in my parents room and my brother and his family’s room were dirty and their neighbors were clearly engaging in questionable activities based on the smell and them covering the smoke detectors Brother’s group got to move suites however were unable to accommodate moving suites for my parents

Not the hotels fault, they were just booked

Gave Hilton another shot and wow I was impressed! Clean, bright and spacious rooms Updated and modern Some small creature comforts like reading lamps, slide out bins for extra storage and a nice sitting nook

I spent 9 nights on 2 separate trips on back to back weeks The daily turnover service was excellent The room was neatly organized, clean, restocked and smelled fresh and clean! Thank you for a great experience!

Nova Erica Tan

We stayed 1 night The hotel lobby is aesthetically pleasing and clean The front desk staff were friendly

They have a convenience area for any needs The breakfast was $1495 though we did not have it The room itself was spacious and clean and modern My only issue was that housekeeping came to our room at least 4 times between 10am and 12pm (check out) They apologized each time for disturbing us but it was a bit of a bother We could also hear voices and vacuums in the morning It is located within a shopping center and close to a mall so it is a convenient location for food and shopping

Sonya Lyatsky

I like the room, it is clean and nice looking, but the price is very high and no breakfast included When I left a computer mouse behind (well, it happens sometimes), the hotel lady has sent it to me, thank you very much! But she used Fedex (about $9) for a mouse (which costs $12) taking this money from my account, when she could use USPS for $4 Thanks, sure, but once I left something behind in the hotel that cost twice less and they send it to me and didn’t ask any money from me

Overall, it was a very nice experience, which I’d rather never repeat

Todd Riffle

I was hesitant staying because we weren’t that far from home, but I didn’t feel like making a second trip the next day How comfortable we’d be was what would make or break itVery happy we stayed! The suite was much nicer than the photos (I almost didn’t book because I wasn’t impressed by pictures on the website)

The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, plates, bowls, drinking glasses and silverware – enough for the full occupancy of the room The hot breakfast met the standard for a complimentary breakfast, but I recommend eating early My experience when it opened was much better than my kids two hours later Only disappointment was that the indoor pool was closed Check-in and -out was easy Front desk and housekeeping staff were very helpfulMy kid had a basketball tournament in the area this weekend and it seemed many other parents involved with various sports were there too Many guests had dogs but the facilities were still very clean I’m usually a Marriot guy but Hilton won me over at this location

Jade Clerc

Hotel was nice & the staff was nice However one of the main reasons we stayed was for the pool which was closed We were looking forward to the firepit which didn’t work

Breakfast was standard There were kids playing basketball early in the morning which is right by the bedroom window & woke us up Our bathroom/bedroom area smelled like cigarettes, i guess from a surrounding room

Susanne K. Stinger

Great room and wheelchair accessible shower, just as promised when reservation was made Very helpful and friendly personnel Had just a couple of small hick-ups, but they were fixed promptly and with a smile

Priced very well also We’ll be back on our next stay in NJ Thank you We really appreciated your facility and cooperation

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!

L. L.

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

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

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

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

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

Love this place I fell Inlove once I went in and it’s super clean The gym was nice and the bar was great I made friends and the atmosphere was amazing

The supervisor named Molly was great and the staff at the front had a great attitude I will definitely be visiting that hotel again I went to a wedding and that hotel was a perfect addition to my trip I definitely recommend this hotel

Heather Garvey

Stayed here for another baseball tournament (Diamond Nation) in July and it AGAIN was a great stay These days I feel like customer service is “blah” at best Nobody seems to really want to help or do more than necessary

NOT THE CASE HERE! I have stayed in dozens of hotels, with higher “ratings” than this one and most fail in comparison The staff here are friendly, helpful, courteous, and PATIENT There are a ton of baseball families with kids of all ages who stay here – run through the halls, jump in the pool, and use the BBQ area Same kids and families hang out in the seating area in the lobby until late at night with snacks and watch tv The staff accommodate and the next day things are once again SPOTLESS No garbage waiting to be cleaned up, no sticky tables, no wet towels The rooms are also very clean and in working order Now, to be fair – it’s not perfect or whatever definition someone may think perfection is But this is a hotel you feel safe, it’s clean, there is plenty of room to relax – there is a small kitchen area in each room, great location – with friendly helpful staff While traveling, this is pretty close to a perfect hotel stay in my book

Kristina Fieseler

We recently used Hyatt House Branchburg for our wedding room block when we got married at the Ryland Inn, and we were so impressed with the high level of service they provided Sean was absolutely the best to work with He was so accommodating when I was making very specific requests about where we would like certain people located in the hotel, and helped make the transportation schedule to and from the venue

I highly recommend using them for a room block if you are getting married in the area!

The hotel is quite modern and has no smoke smell The hotel is clean and tidy My only issues with the hotel are they did not have a complimentary breakfast nor did the room I stayed in have a refrigerator or microwave

Also, the gym was not available If the hotel is charging normal high rates then they should have other services included instead of cutting other services Another issue I had was with the nighttime front desk attendant – Medium height, African American middle-aged female She was quite rude and did not try to accommodate my needs when it was already pre-booked a few days earlier and she was very rude when I tried to resolve the issue with her Would probably not stay here again if the issues are not fixed

I was on a vacation to Boston, New York and New Jersey recently I lived in Basking Ridge many years back in late 1990’s and having known the area and close to Hindu Temple in Bridgewater, booked a room in Delta Hotels by Marriott, Basking Ridge It was a very pleasant experience for my wife and me

Location is excellent, nice greenery view from window, no noise and very peaceful Front staff were gracious and helpful Room service was great, though it is done on request due to COVID situation Room was very spacious, clean, very clean and upgraded bathroom, great mattress, pillows and sheets and towels, nice climate controlling unit in the room Quality toiletries were provided Had great rest sleeping on the very comfy mattress!! Morning complimentary coffee was good Free water bottles were provided For the price we paid, it is well worth it Wish we had more time to stay few more days at this hotel Overall, we had a great memorable stay!! Probably the best after Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and better than the other Marriott and Sheraton Hotels we stayed during this trip in Boston and New York I was able to see the places I used to go back in the days around Basking Ridge and reminded pleasant memories All the towns, Hindu temple close by make this location very ideal I strongly recommend anyone coming to visit the temple from out of state and planning to stay overnight or few days to definitely stay at the Delta Hotel in Basking Ridge One can appreciate the real beauty of New Jersey towns around this hotel after seeing the horrible places like Newark, Jersey City, Oranges etc!!

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!

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
