“Do not be fooled by the decor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Pulled back the covers on one of the beds in my room and noticed that the sheets were covered in someone else's hair. Sure, the Panasonic flat screen was nice and the bathroom was updated, but don't even bother if you can't even change the bed sheets between guests.

“Wonderful!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Since we have family, we come to the North Jersey area every couple of months. We have stayed in every hotel in the West Orange area. The Wilshire Grand Hotel is by far the nicest, friendliest, and best value of any hotel in the area. The staff bent over backwards to make my 3 year old feel right at home.... More

“Great Hotel, Even Better Staff/Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Hotel accidentally booked our original room to another wedding party so they basically gave us another room (a free suite) for the night. Plus complimentary champagne, snacks, and more. And even the following day they were apologetic and offered us various comps.

“This place is great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2013

We stayed at the Wilshire Grand to avoid high NYC hotel prices. This hotel was wonderful. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. They had a great breakfast in the morning, and even a free shuttle to the train station. It was clean and safe and the staff was friendly and helpful.

“Not so "grand"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

I have stayed at the Wilshire Grand four times, but not because I like it. I stay there because the other hotels in West Orange are either worse, too expensive, or both. I don't think I will stay there again. Here's why. First, the beds are not comfortable. The mattresses are lumpy and too soft. They need replacements. Second, the... More
