“OK,if on a VERY tight budget”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Other than the carpet in the halls being in desperate need of cleaning, many deferred maintenance issues and an out of the way entrance, the hotel meets all basic needs. There is a very good deli-HAROLDS-located in the building. You need to get a special menu from the hotel, as the regular menu only offers GIGANTIC portions with enough food to eat as leftovers for a few days. The fire alarm went off at 4:30 AM due to someone smoking in a non-smoking room. There was a long delay until the fire department came, but who doesn't need a 45 minute wait outside? LOL

we asked to be away from the bar noise.they put us on the third floor and they said ....opposite direction.
guest what...we were shaking in or beds until 2am from the music and drum in the bar.
My husband called the front desk...and they pretty much said...live with it until 2am.
The site said there was a fridge and micro...there was none and no one knew which room had one.
BEWARE

“HellHole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We booked this place not for fun, but for business, for 2 nights.
I read in previous reviews not to stay on 2nd floor because of music. We asked for third floor or higher and were put on third. The music was intolerable even on third floor. I called the front desk, was told that the music would continue till 2 am. I said I was going to call the police to complain, I was told to go ahead, they would not come...it was a bar and it was legal.!!!
Also, we were told rooms had microwave and refrigerator...ours did NOT. I call the front desk and asked for a room with one and was told they did not know which rooms had them!!
Front desk was snotty and indifferent...stay away at all costs. They are going to run this place in ground in and board it up...they DO NOT CARE about guests.
The lobby in the morning looked like there had been a riot..filthy...litter...horibble.
Sleepless in Edison

Room Tip: stay away.

“OK Place to stay if you get a good price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

Like some other reviewers I got a good last minute deal thru Hotwire. The hotel is clearly an ex-Holiday Inn but now in private ownership and apparently better run now than when it was a corporate facility. I got a nice room on the 7th floor - it was clean and everything worked but you can tell it's run on a bit of a tight budget. Just little things - only 24 channels on cable, slap-dash new paint here and there, and bathroom fixtures that are a little worn out but work with a little fiddling. The staff is friendly but a little unprofessional with people hanging out at the desk chatting with their friends, etc. It still has a nice pool and exercise room.

Attached is Harold's New York Deli (or something like that), a restaurant that charges a huge amount of money for one meal that apparently is big enough for 2 or 3 people. Great if you have 2 or 3 people that want to eat the same thing. One person (such as myself), not so great. It's very popular with the locals, it was busy every night I was there. There's lots of good restaurants elsewhere in Edison and Woodbridge and of course a Dunkin Donuts on every corner.

Overall I'd say the place is perfectly fine for a $60 a night hotel. If it was $100 a night, I'd have been pretty unhappy. Oh, and another reviewer is correct - there is an interesting dirt lot next door, looks like a Mafia dumping ground, with bulldozers adding a new section.

“You can do better than this”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

If all you want is a cheap hotel I guess this will work. But, if you have an expectation of even the most basic level of customer service you really should go elsewhere. I waited 5-10 minutes to check in even though there wasn't a line at check-in. The representative didn't bother to tell me anything about the hotel amenities, pool, gym, etc. When I asked if the hotel served breakfast he said yes, but didn't bother to state that it wasn't included in the price. One of the two elevators was out of service and looked like it had been that way for some time. We weren't really that upset about any of this, but the following day things got worse. The room didn't have hand towels, a bath mat, or a second washcloth (the reservation was for two people). We called to get a second washcloth and were told someone would bring one up. We waited 30-40 minutes. No one came. We called back and were told someone was coming. We waited 10-15 minutes. No one came. We called again and were told someone was on the way up. We waited another 5-10 minutes. Someone showed up with regular towels but no hand towel and no washcloth. Although a supervisor himself, he didn't apologize for the long delay and attempted to leave the towels without saying a word and tried to run off. I had to stop him to let him know that we still needed hand towels and washcloths. He never said one word to me and, after 10 minutes, he did not returned. I called the front desk again and asked for a supervisor. The rep asked what was wrong so I told her. She responded that they didn't have any washcloths available in the entire hotel. Ridiculous. Then I spoke with her supervisor who told me someone was on their way up with washcloths (after having been told 2 minutes prior that there weren't any). At least she bothered to apologize. This has been an important lesson in the value of paying the extra money for a quality hotel. It wasn't disgusting or completely unbearable, but why pay even a small amount for such mediocre service?
