One word ...DIRTY ! Linens weren't changed, carpet wasn't vacuumed, alarm clock had been stolen, and the place smelled ... odd. This whole chain has really taken a turn south !

We have stayed at this hotel every other year over the past few years and have seen a steady decline in the state of the property. It is just looking rather shabby these days, with bed linens that are well worn. That being said, our room was 'fairly' clean and the bed was comfortable and the gentleman at the front desk was friendly. We were underwhelmed by the complimentary breakfast--the bare bones of what Comfort Inns offer. This breakfast bar had a four slice toaster with only two openings working. Wanting toasted bread meant quite a wait. The gentleman providing the food at breakfast was cheerful and replenished the food as needed---but the bottom line is that the food is not quite tasty. If you do decide to stay here, you must know how to get back to the hotel when you leave the property. It is very tricky to get back on route 1 and then to the hotel. You will need explicit directions. Still, if you desire a reasonably priced room, not fussy about what you eat, not picky about having an older, smallish room, this may be the hotel for you.

I volunteer with an organization that was doing some work recently in central New Jersey (due to Hurricane Irene.) To save money, the organization booked rooms at the Comfort Inn.

After checking in the motel on Monday night, one of our volunteers went to her room and after settling in, removed her shoes to relax. She then stepped in something wet.

Upon examination, she realized that it was not water that soaked her sock. It was blood.

Yes. Blood.

She went to the front desk, where the manager moved her to another room. Upon going to that room, she found the room filthy - crap in the toilet, wet towels, unmade bed. This was at 9:30 pm.

As for me, I had arrived at the motel at 9:45 pm that night and found that my name was not "on the list" of people who needed rooms. After taking one look around the lobby - and after being harassed verbally by 3 teenagers outside the front door of the motel - I told the manager to not worry about getting a room - I'd go elsewhere on my own dime.

The rest of our group quickly left the motel and moved to the Hyatt down the street, and the police department in Princeton/Lawrenceville were contacted, to file a report on the blood.

I would give this motel ZERO stars if I could.

I arrived to this comfort Inn after traveling from Boston to New Jersey that morning and working a full day. I chose the Comfort Inn since I have had luck in the past with the chain. I travel quite a bit for work. However, this hotel is old and does not keep up with cleaning. Upon entering the lobby area, I noticed some stains on the floor and the entrance mat was worn with stains. I should have known that the rest of the hotel was the same if not worse. The room decor was dated with old curtains and bedding. There was a smell of dust in the air and something else I could not pinpoint. The fridge in the room had a couple of hairs from someone else in it. I turned on the a/c unit and suddenly a fine mist of hazy dust emanated throughout the room. I almost could not breath. I immediately checked out and checked in to the Double Tree down the street where the staff was much friendlier and I could breath a sigh of relief upon entering a very clean hotel room!
