Attending a local convention, I decided to look for a hotel to use some reward points I’m glad I decided on Hyatt House Having a full size fridge and freezer was great

We didn’t use the stove but it was a great option to have The sitting area with a TV was nice in the morning to have coffee and watch the sunrise, while waiting for my husband to wake up The bedroom had doors closing it off from the kitchen/sitting area, but was open to the sink area of the bathroom There was a door to the toilet/shower area This was odd to me, but not a deal breaker I’d go back Staff were friendly and helpful with my questions

I stayed here at this Hyatt for a full month as a travel nurse Very clean, spacious and well furnished rooms Feels more like an apartment than a hotel

Also, kyshad one of the managers, customer service skills are top tier ! I enjoyed working with him throughout my stay Because of him , I’d recommend this hotel to everyone ! There was a GM lady who wasn’t so friendly She doesn’t listen to me, the customer So I did check out soon after However , my stay was still great

I stayed at the Parsippany/Whippany Hyatt House earlier this week First, I’d like to start with the good All of the employees that I interacted with seemed really friendly

Also, I loved how the people that work in the breakfast area put out coffee prior to 6AM every morning, even though breakfast doesn’t start until 6:30 It’s very thoughtful!However, there was one major negative aspect of this hotel On Wednesday when I got back to my room at 6PM, the door to my room was propped open (with the door bar/chain) When I opened the door (without using my key) nobody was in my room and it looked like housekeeping started cleaning my room but never finished (only the bed was made and most of the dirty towels were taken out) So, it appears that housekeeping propped my door open and then left Anybody could have entered my room and stolen my stuff I’d say this is a rather big security issue I thought about going to the front desk and reporting it, but I figured this would be a better way to get management of the hotel aware of this issue Hopefully, they can do some more training and prevent this from happening to other guests in the futureAgain, I thought the staff were great, but coming back to my room and finding the door propped open was not great

Great Service Very spacious and nicely appointed I brought the kids here mainly for the indoor pool so they can go whether rain or shine

There was plenty of parking behind the building near the indoor pool, so there is no need to compete with anyone Has EV charging too for those of you that run on batteriesThe restaurant downstairs has fair prices, which is competitive against the need to drive out and eatWhile we gave it 5 stars anyway, I just wanted to note that the photo of the indoor pool is a bit misleading The pool is a little smaller in real life, but it is still roomy and not too crowded when we went

Rob Jelinski

Beautiful hotel that sits on the Connell business park now renamed The Park Like all Embassy Suites each room offers sofa/ kitchen area and the bedroom area These are spacious and nicely decorated for the price point

Included in the stay are a free breakfast buffet (oatmeal, fresh fruit, bagels, coffee, etc and an omelette station) which are good and quality does vary of some offerings based on the time you eat They also give a complimentary drink for each adult per/ night of your stay This is a nice touch and you can upcharge if you’d like top shelf brandsLots of common areas for working which is the top priority here for most guests There is also a full Starbucks on site and a great reading area in front of the shop See my Grain & Cane review for notes on the on-site restaurant which is 👌🏼 tooThe pool area could use a little love, but all in all the Staff was very courteous, the property was very clean, and all in all I would highly recommend it!

Kylie L

The room was dirty upon check in, there was like white substance all over the bed shams and all over the doors and all over the floor, there was also a sticky substance seeping out of the refrigerator the room smelled like they were covering up maybe pet odor The scent from the vents was very overwhelming like a deodorizer

The lamp was broken and hanging sideways There was no happy medium with the air conditioner, it blew right on us all night and there were no abilities to set the vents in an opposite way away from the beds the breakfast stations were jampacked nowhere to sit young kids touching all the food with their hands, and the lines wrapped around the tables for fresh omelets, which led us to get breakfast at Starbucks Maybe it was a wedding weekend? The hotel should alert guests when something like this is occurring, We weren’t able to use the pool, there were so many kids in it and it was a very small 3ft pool, and we chose this location specifically for the pool Very unhappy We even came late like 8 pm And check-in was at 3, we told them we would be late so they had an ample amount of time to clean the hotel room , the daybed cushions were not even put in correctly the zipper seam was facing out The hotel has such potential

I can not say enough nice things about this location Clean, easy to get to, breakfast was tasty, bartender made a good drink They have a nice patio area, but know it doesn’t officially open until the bar opens

The front desk clerks were nice, the market was well stocked and if You need it, they have it If I’m in the area again, I would definitely stay there again

Shane Barber

I believe this was the warmest welcome I have ever received when checking into a hotel Whether here in the states, abroad, or even at a luxury resort The difference is those hotels did not have Jermaine and Golda like the little Hilton Hotel on Route 22 West in Springfield

Jermaine is so warm, personable, friendly, and caring He made me feel like an honored guest in his home for the weekend Golda was very attentive, patient with requests, has a million-dollar smile and just displayed uncommon hospitality and guest service Her positive energy was contagious This hotel has a dynamic duo at the front desk Both represent the Hilton Brand Image and Core Values Thank You Jermaine and Golda!!! If I ever need hotel services in Union County area you both made Hilton Garden Inn of Springfield the obvious choice!Respectfully,Shane Barber

Martin Griggs

Very nice hotel Clean rooms Good breakfast

Just like so many other Hiltons they are getting cheaper, and cheaper As a diamond member I spend thousands and thousands with Hilton When I ask for a couple $025 bottles of water to go in the morning about half just give it to me Usually outside of town Inside cities where younger people work the counter, they say you have to pay their full price for it How stupid I will just go around the corner to a gas station or store if they are going to be that way

Stayed 2 nights Jan 2022 Check-in was super quick but very welcoming Suite was spacious, clean, and had everything I needed to work, relax, and make simple meals

Felt like they take pride in keeping the property nice and making you comfortable but leaving you alone Breakfast was typical complimentary breakfast – edible but don’t look forward to it I would still stay again with no hesitation

Ben Morss

This place is definitely not bad! For a midrange chain hotel toward the bottom of the Marriott hierarchy, they do a good job Breakfast is quite respectable, and the rooms do have serviceable kitchenettes even if some things are hard to open (dishwasher, I’m talking to you) and mattresses and pillows are a little hardBut there’s also a nice courtyard, though the nearby pool is tiny and more chlorine than water

And you can wander around to the elegant if a little rundown events area next door, which does feature an amazing vintage piano and a super-nice guy named Pinchas

Milind Shah

Good accommodations Well run despite facing staffing shortages Pet friendly

Across the street from south mountain Reservation which is great for hikingThey serve breakfast but the kitchen isn’t open for any other meals But the kitchen in the room allows for cooking and there are nice eating establishments and terrific supermarkets nearby

Rahul Parekh

I stayed at this Sheraton during the July 4th weekend to attend a family weddingThis is a beautiful hotel with a huge facility, huge rooms and a lot of banquet halls All the halls were occupied and looks like every party was having a great time in this hotel

This hotel also has 2 swimming pools- indoor and outdoor pools which guests were taking advantage of, that’s good to seeThe front desk and housekeeping staff were courteous and professionalI had family and friends staying in all the floors of the hotel The reason for two stars in this review is because one of the handicap rooms on the first floor (the last room next to the exit door) had small bugs in the bathroom and on the floor of the bedroom This was highly unlikely for such a Grand hotel The issue was raised with the front desk and housekeeping came to review the issue but the bugs were back the next day in the bathroom I’m not sure if this was because the room was on the ground floor and right outside there were shrubs and plants There might be some insulation issue in that room that led to the bugs from outsideOverall I had a good experience at this hotel and I heard the same positive response from all the other family and friends that stayed in this hotel during the long weekend except that one room

Nicole Yeh

I attended only for my senior formal, so I did not stay overnight Wonderful service from attentive staff who answered all my questions and served us Loved the food, we had everything from crab cakes to burgers to cannolis

The inside is clean and safe, there’s an ATM, and of course the outside looks stunning, along with plenty of parking There’s also a small lake in the back with bridges where you can walk a loop There’s even a souvenir shop past the lounge I believe there are other restaurants and such down the street and it’s convenient to get on route 80 and 287 quickly

Brok V.

This hotel needs a full revamp, it’s in rough shape The halls and elevators are not air conditioned so they are a steamy 100 degrees The entire place smells funky – there are air fresheners all over the place to mask the smells

The shower in my room was jerry rigged together so when i tried to raise the shower head up past my shoulders, water came spraying out of the pipes The AC in my room sounded like a diesel engine Will never return

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

I was recently in a wedding that took place in this venue Great food, beautiful place and the wedding planner was absolutely wonderfulHowever…

I went into the room for the ceremony to check the decorations and I heard a LOUD leak and I see a bucket and a huge hole in the ceiling So I’m asking is any body going to fix that what’s going on? The worker that was there was like well there’s nothing we can do because the venue is booked Excuse me…the bride and groom paid to have a beautiful experience The wedding planner came to the rescue and told me not to listen to her because she didn’t know the schedule She then disappeared and left the DJ completely lost looking for where to set up I had to guide himI was so upset because it was not okay The groom then heard her talking about me and he had to address that as well Like do your job!

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your room They compare thousands of booking websites and typically will have rooms much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the most well known in the area

I have been staying here for a very long time If you stay for a few nights you will love it I’m sure!This review is about the LOFT Wilshire Grand The event space was just the perfect location Felt intimate but safe during COVID The venue was clean very clean and inviting The staff were extremely pleasant

Jessica Ames

Pretty awful…we paid for a suite for my brothers wedding (held at a different venue thank goodness) The shower didn’t work correctly We notified the front desk (had to do it in person since the phone in the room was also broken) and they said they would fix it

We had issues with it for the two nights we were there We struggled to get it on each time and we could never turn it off so we let it run Half the outlets didn’t work Majorly outdated rooms For the amount I was charged this was a MAJOR disappointment Would never stay here againI will say the staff was very friendly Only pro I can think of with the awful room

Stayed 7 nights bc I was having work done on house We extended stay so we had to switch rooms In each room, furniture was broken

No ironing boards in either room Shower still in 1 room was not very clean No extra roll of toilet tissue & no garbage pail in room Just essentials missingHowever, the people that did breakfast, did a terrific job Clean, well organized Plenty for all & it was crowded Staff very friendly & accommodatingRooms need to be maintained much, much better

Cori Frede

The room was a nice size with plenty of outlets (often a problem in hotels) but was really run down The carpet was stained and the walls were dirty The shower needs a good scrubbing and a shelf or two

When I went to grab something from the car, I smelled a burning smell on my walk back in and noticed smoke coming from the wood chips by the plants I told the front desk and she said it was probably smokers that didn’t dispose of a cigarette but she went immediately called for someone to go check In fact, the friendliness of the staff was the only real positive of my stay It was only one night so I didn’t complain but I doubt I’d stay at this location again It was not up to the Hampton Inn standardSide note: The noise from the highway was loud all night If you do stay here, maybe ask for a room on the other side of the building Not sure if it will help, but it can’t hurt

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

Such a beautiful old-world hotel that is frozen in time Elegant and charming are the first words that came to mind when I walked into the beautiful lobby The room was recently renovated but still has much of the old hotel architecture such as a window in the bathroom

The staff are all very friendly and the bar is definitely a locals hangout that welcomes visitors with open arms Every single employee we encountered was courteous, friendly and accommodating Such a wonderful place to rest after a long flight The hotel is very convenient to Newark without the New York prices Highly recommend

Bonnes Affaires

My partner and I have stayed numerous times at Grand Summit We usually need to check in early, around (1/1:30 pm) for meetings, and check out very early (5 am) We never had to pay for an early check-in until the last time

The front desk attendants enlightened us that the new check-in fee of $50 is the result of the new management and cannot be waived Clearly, the new management is not making good business decisions as we will not be staying there again because of it In general, the hotel was ok- clean rooms, generic and tacky decor, and hit-or-miss staff We mostly stayed there because of its historic past and convenient location

Hunnigut Baumgartner

$300/night (not even base prices, this is the rate I got through a third party) TO FIND MENS BOXERS IN THE DRESSER IN THE ROOM, a motel with full size beds, a/c that won’t go lower than cooling the room to 75° in April with the heat blasting in the hallways while it’s 71° outside, and a “deluxe continental breakfast” that resembles prison food Complete rip off, the fact that it looks interesting from the outside does not justify these prices

Had decent facilities including a good lobby with breakfast as well as tennis courts and a pool The room itself was of good size Upon arrival our room seemed to just been lightly cleaned

Bed was made and everything appeared clean however upon closer inspection the toilet was not cleaned as their was visible uncleanliness in the toilet bowl The kitchen was clean however they did not replenish the dish washing soap as it was half used and the cap was still opened The shower was very small but not a problem and they gave us two conditioners instead of a shampoo and conditioner No biggie though as we had brought our own The queen bed felt more like a full The pull out couch mattress was stained and there were no extra sheets in the room so I suppose you’d have to ask in advance for this The staff was friendly and the facility was fair Not too bad for a quick place to stay but we wish we chose another location

Heather Elliott

I am currently staying at this hotel with my husband We checked in on August 1 and I had surgery at the nearby Morristown Medical Center This almost 3-week reservation was made months in advance and I corresponded with the hotel about the reasons for our stay

I requested an early check-in and a room with a shower seatWe were allowed to check-in early for a $45 fee There was no shower chair, and the microwave oven didn’t heat It did make the microwave noise The white cabinets are permanently discolored in our room, as is the carpet, with something that looks like maybe red permanent markerThe broken microwave was quickly replaced and when we asked for a toaster (listed in the room amenities) we were provided with oneThe dishwasher does not work very well, with even a shallow glass, cutlery or lightly stained plate still slightly dirty after a full cycleI thought things were going to go well after talking to the very kind manager, Vince, about arranging to have the same person clean the room during the second week of our stay, at roughly the same time Due to my condition, I could only leave the room for fairly short periods, and we also wanted to express our appreciation to an individual housekeeper at the end of our stayUnfortunately, this did not work out at all My husband informed the front desk that he was going to pick me up at the hospital and asked for the room to be cleaned within the next several hours, but when we arrived back at the hotel 3+ hours after that request, the room wasn’t ready I sat on the sofa in the room until someone finally came and did the housekeepingOn another day, we just requested fresh sheets and towels and my husband did that and the cleaning and dustingHowever, we are humans and our socks unravel and we drop potato chips on the floor so sometimes we really needed someone to vacuumOn Friday, heading out to a doctor’s appointment in NYC, we again requested for the room to be cleaned while we were out -sometime in the next 3 hours, but when we returned we were disappointedThis morning (Sunday) we went out at 11 after speaking directly with our housekeeper explaining that we were leaving expressly so that the room could be cleaned We wandered New Jersey in the car for 3 hours and – you guessed it— came back to a room that had been untouchedI sat in the air-conditioning of our car while my husband found someone to get someone to clean the roomIt’s been pretty frustrating, although the day after I came back from the hospital, Vince was nice enough to call to apologize about the room not being readyWe have 5 more nights left here at this hotel I wouldn’t stay here again

kimberly helms

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed for 2 night while attending the Darkside of the Con and couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay The staff was super friendly and helpful, beds were comfy, and breakfast was delicious Rooms were spacious and clean

If we’re ever in the area again we will 100% stay here again I can’t say enough good things about this hotel

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

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

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

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

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!

Erin was fantastic to work with! She answered every phone call we made We had a huge wedding and needed a lot of rooms We also needed a hair and makeup room and a room for brunch the next day

Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how elegant the Archer was Our wedding used the pool, the bar area, and it was centrally located to everything The shuttles picked up our guests timely for our wedding at the Crystal Plaza only a short 10 minute drive away The Archer even gave us a wedding gift which we will treasure in our new home we just bought If you’re looking to be treated like royalty, book the Archer and ask for Erin!-Rachel and Adam Marcus

Madeleine Brown

We really enjoyed our one night stay for a wedding Front desk staff was pleasant and efficient and were able to check us in early The hotel has a great esthetic and the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with lots of nice touches like books at the bedside and complimentary salted caramels and water

Would recommend and would stay again

Violet Kitsune

We booked this hotel to attend a wedding Overall the place was pleasant and comfortable, and everything was clean The only complaint is that the staff were a bit lacking in hospitality; we were presented with a check for breakfast as soon as we sat down, and I requested an item only for it to be brought up hours later

Other than the minor complaints, we enjoyed our stay

Having a great stay and this will definitely be my hotel of choice when I come back again for work Love having the kitchen in the room, though it’s honestly not even that necessary with the free breakfast and on week nights they give you a free drink ticket and some bread and cheese There are also a good handful of restaurants nearby and it’s right across from the PATH station

Great choice for any stay in the area

Josh Forsythe

Stayed here for short trip to NYC

Check in was easy, room was double studio Everything in room was clean and in order upon arrival Desk staff was friendly and helpful Public transit right across street, very easy to hop a train into NYC A few different dinning options with in walking distance, plus on site resturant with dinner options Would stay again

Denise Spencer

We are staying here for five days The place could use a new living room set but otherwise it is a nice place to stay Manhattan hotels prices have become outrageous and since we’re traveling and visiting both Manhattan and Brooklyn this place seem to be Central to where we needed to be

We have the one bedroom apartment I wouldn’t call it a room because it has a bedroom, a living room a small dining area, small kitchen and a pretty decent bathroom If you want to be in Manhattan and don’t mind a 20-minute ride on the PATH train, this is the place besides when you’re coming to a vacation in New York you’re not planning on staying in the room anyway Customer service is great! I met the desk staff and the cleaning personnel The restaurants that are here “Ah Pizz” for pizza and Five Guys, and right downstairs there’s a restaurant on location here at the hotel and other stores and pub places nearby

The room was lovely and spacious! The beds were very comfortable! I managed to sleep without pain which doesn’t usually happen to me in hotels I think the rooms may have a bit of an echo to them, or thin walls or something because my friend and I got a noise complaint when we were just talking

We may have laughed a little loudly a few times, but we weren’t screaming at each other Once we turned the TV on and left it on while we talked, it seemed to solve the problemThe man from the front desk who came to the door with the complaint was firm but kind about it, and when I mentioned it to the lady at the checkout, she apologized on his behalf Also, I left my room key/ID/Credit Card in my hotel room when I came out to get water and another front desk lady was nice enough to make a new one so we could get back in So, the staff is kind too!Breakfast was pretty good if a little sparse I went at around 9:00 AM Saturday and Sunday, there was a selection, though not vast I really enjoyed the Belgian Waffles though!Getting to the hotel from the highway was a little complicated and very easy to miss when I first showed up, but by the end of my stay, I got the hang of itIt was a nice place to stay, and if I ever go to Parsippany for anything but Dark Side of the Con (or if the Con’s location is completely booked), I would happily stay here again

In my 50 years of personal and professional travel, I have never been treated so poorly in my life To add insult to injury, I was promised a refund which I have yet to receive Further, my phone call and email the manager has gone unanswered

To make the issue simple, we were given a room that reeked of cigarette smoke, and my wife and I are allergic to same We asked to move to another room and “Andrew” at the front desk advised us there was no pother room available We asked him to call a neighboring Marriott to assist us as were were not from the area and he refused I advised him that, as I’m an attorney, by forcing us to be in this room he is putting us at risk “Andrew” stated that he has bigger and better lawyers who would state otherwise While calling around from afar, my wife overheard “Andrew” telling his colleague, “this is how you handle a customer” I asked for his manager’s card (Lori Brown) and I called her (it was Friday August 5th at approximately 9:00 PM) Andrew advised me that Ms Brown would be on the premises Saturday at 4:00 and would reply to my call I am still awaiting that call We found a hotel nearby and asked if Fairfield would pay the difference between rates and he advised “absolutely not” I then asked for a refund of my room at the Fairfield and he told me that he was not authorized to do so He did “promise” that he would speak with Lori Brown and we would get a refund I am still waitingI have 7 reservations with Marriott coming up Those 7 reservations will be cancelled and booked with another chain I am truly sorry I gave Fairfield, Andrew and Lori Brown every chance to make this right and they instead chose to treat both my wife and myself like absolute garbage Please feel free to search me offline if you would like to discuss this unbelievable experienceShame on you, Marriott

Carollynn Housman

Great quality hotel for the price We stayed in an accessible connecting room by chance and had breakfast both days we stayed there Paper plates and lots of egg options are the only downside if you are not a fan

They did not have room service and there was nowhere to get delivery from later at night Location is a little hard to find although good parking and amenities around it Besides that it was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back, highly recommend the e-check in – they sent me a notification when the room was ready and not once did I have to speak to staff Hotel key was on my phone (a little strange, make sure your bluetooth is on) along with checkout

I stayed at SpringHill Suites before and after flights to and from a week long vacation The rooms are very nice and the hotel is very convenient to the airport There was a strange smell in the hallways, but the rooms were fine

It’s great that they provide shuttle service and even have a discounted parking rate if you don’t want to park at the airport The shuttle to the airport was incredibly easy The one back to the hotel was significantly more difficult, and took a long time to get to The front desk staff was very friendly, but service was very slow If I had another flight out of Newark, I’d definitely consider staying here again, but not without looking more closely at some of the other nearby hotels offering similar convenience

Dwayne Smith

The SpringHill Suites New Jersey was a pretty good value overall Me and my wife stayed there

The hotel itself was a little dated Which I was gladly overlooking because it was very clean The free breakfast in the morning very flavorful and hot Footnote the pool and the whirlpool are both closed due to covid still The price of the room was on point with the amenities of the room Definitely would go back again definitely would recommend

Kolei Robinson

I have stayed here probably 10 times and will continue to choose this location The staff is friendly and efficient Every single time I’ve stayed here they make the check in process super easy

The rooms are so clean and spacious The amenities they provide far outweigh their great pricing Free continental breakfast and airport shuttle Highly recommend!
