Reservations made through Hotwire $38/nite. (The 3 point rating is basically for the price that I paid.) I was worried after booking this reservation because I saw none posted. Checked in a little after 12 midnight. This is done by calling the night housekeeper on the lobby phone who promptly buzzed me in and gave me the key. The room is average with a kitchenette, fully equipped with pots pans; stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and sink. Of first concern was the cleanliness of the room. This fell short by far and was “spruced” up by applying Clorox wipes all over (as a reader of Trip Advisor I’ve become quite aware of my surroundings – the room was “clean” but to the trained eye, it was not). The biggest problem clearly seen was that someone previously spilled a cup of coffee on the telephone and this was not cleaned up.
Another area where there was some discontent was that the bed linen had hair on it. Rather than wait for housekeeping which only come once a week, I requested new sheets and advised them of the phone situation the next day when the front desk was open. There are no luxuries to the room but was standard for what we needed it for. This hotel is very quiet! My other fear was that this was some type of welfare hotel, which it wasn’t.
It sits right in the area of the Sheraton, Hilton Garden Inn and Holiday Inn of Raritan Center. A very quiet area with the exception of the cars exiting off of the Turnpike which is not a problem. It is a business area that gets quiet after the work day. All in all it was a good stay. Here are my recommendations when staying at this hotel.
1. Bring cleaning wipes – in fact all hotel may need this a little.
2. Be ready to resolve issues by going to the front desk and asking for whatever is needed. (My example was with a non-functioning light bulb, easily resolved with a new one. Also new sheets were quickly given when requested.)
3. Bring dishwashing liquid.
