The wooded area surrounding the parking lot is peaceful but be forwarned the trek to the hotel is over a cobblestone drive that is... More

Excited for my trip but a little nervous about staying at this hotel. In my experience, the hotels in NJ are not very nice and even the chain hotels like the Marriott tend to not be maintained as other Marriotts across the country. I was pleasantly surprised. The check-in staff was very friendly and professional. The rooms were clean, not... More

I had the pleasure of staying the night in this upscale hotel and was not disappointed. The hotel would be right at home as the Lodge in Yosemite or Yellowstone. The lobby is very rustic with exposed wooden beams and red brick walls. My room had a wonderful bed and upscale furniture. The bathroom is small but decorated with marble... More

Only stayed a short couple of nights. But, it was long enough to figure out this was a very nice property -- equal to other Marriott full-service hotel/spas, without the huge, formal lobby/foyer area and without all the hustle and bustle. The spa was plenty nice and elegant; the concierge lounge was fantastic with lots of food choices and friendly... More

Nice is relative to the person saying nice. Nice to me is not what I experienced staying in the guest room at this hotel. The rooms need updating, the linen needs to be burned, and the hotel needs a facelift inside and out. I read the previous reviews and I must say my idea of nice is not the same... More

Pros: 1. Conveniently located off route 1. 2. Rooms are a nice size and provide ample space for business travelers Cons: 1. This is an older hotel and is only 3 floors 2. There are no scenic views available from any room, since there are only 3 floors 3. Parking is approx 200 feet (2 football fields) from the front... More

Dear Twillis600, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. I am pleased that you found our hotel convenient and that our guest rooms provided enough space for a productive visit. You are correct in that our hotel was built as more of a serene lodge than a traditional Marriott high rise. Since the guestrooms... More

We stayed one night, a Thursday evening, as my wife and kids went to a concert. The hotel has a very rustic feel set on 20 plus acres of heavily wooded land. A sophisticated rustic though. Upon arrival we approached the front desk and were warmly welcomed by Christine. She seamlessly upgraded us to a very nice suite,that we greatfully... More

It's a very nice hotel and the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful. Samantha, from the front desk went beyond expectations with her service. We ate dinner in Barley Pub and enjoyed their tasty fare. I recommend this hotel.
