Wellesley Inn and Suites Carneys Point, Penn s Grove, New Jersey: Totally disfusting and pitiful.

Firtst when I checked in, the room that I was suppose to get was not cleaned, it was in the smoking area, and no one was around to give an account as to why this happened. Anyway, because they were told that I am asthmatic, I was given another room on a different section of the building. The room, bathroom, bed, and furniture were all filthy looking and the sofa was nastily stained. The front dest attendants had an attitude when asked about the coffe maker and the iron that's listed on the website to be included in the room.

My stay was horrible. It is a good thing that I always travel with a bottle of lysol and my own bed linens when checking into a hotel. If I had not taken them with me, I would have to leave before time.

The inside of the building is very dirty, to include the passages and the lobby. I did not have the guts to eat there, so I waited until I checked out before getting something to eat. I was in such a hurry to get out of there to escape the smell of cigarrett that the workers create right at the entrance to the lobby. I think that workers and managers need to be inserviced on hotel hospitality. They were all ineffecient and unpolite.

I wish that no one looking for a good stay at a hotel will make the same mistake I did. It is better to pay $80 to $100 and get good hospitality and service than to try and cut short on cash and ended up felling disgusted and sorry.

This hotel was pitiful. My husband and I were building a home, which was not finished yet, so instead of bugging my parents, we checked into the Wellesley for the time being. As far as the outside, the hotel looks decent. Once inside, the lobby looks very nice. The problem, however, began in the room. We found out later that the section we were in, was supposed to be prohibited. They had a newer part of the hotel, but because we needed a king size bed, they booked us in the prohibited area. As far as the room is concerned, the wallpaper was peeling and it appeared as if water had previously leaked from the upstairs bathroom. My husband and I surmised this based on the condition of the wallpaper (bubbles, cracked) and the rust prevalent on the smoke detector attached to the wall. My husband suffered from some type of allergies while we were there; sneezing, coughing, etc., which was not normal during the winter season. The shower curtain was filthy, so I threw it out in the hallway in anger. The pool was closed, and the restaurant boarded up. The assistant manager and staff were friendly, but more than once I went to the front desk and no one was there. I yelled "hello" and could not figure out why the desk was abandoned so many times. One night the electric went out four at least 3-4 hours, and my husband and I sat in the dark. I anticipated some sort of discount due to our extended stay and the one night we were without electricity, but to no avail. The rate was the cheapest in the area, and since we were low on funds due to the building of our home, we were desperate and stayed.

This Hotel was an absolute nightmare. Please find my experience below:

We booked this hotel online for what we thought would be a great 3 night stay. However, when driving up to the hotel, we noticed that there were several unsupervised teenagers smoking and walking around aimlessly. Not a big deal right - Wrong!!!! There were nothing but tons of teenagers at this hotel.

The facility(external) was very outdated, old, and decrepit. When I arrived to the front desk to check in..1.) the staff was very unprofessional. However, we proceeded to check in. Our room was in the back, you had to drive there in order to get there. My husband went into the room first to check it out. He came out of the hotel and stated, "Well, we don't have to worry about the dog messing this one up!"(We were traveling with our dog!)

The family went into the hotel room and witnessed the following:
Soiled/Stained Carpet
Room smelled like urine
Wallpaper being held up with staples
Holes in Walls
Splats of plaster on wall
Holes in Sheets and Blankets
Cigarette Stains all over nightstand, etc....
Restroom unpleasant

We decided that since we were tired we would stay one night, but sleep with our clothes on and not bring in our luggage.

However, we contacted our reservation site to inform them that the living conditions were unbearable/unsanitary and we needed to find other accommodations for the other 2 nights.

Unbelievably, while my husband was on the phone with online reservations, here comes a COCKROACH walking across the floor as if he owned the place. At that moment, we got up...walked out and checked out of the hotel Immediately.

We stayed at the hotel a total of 5-10 minutes...

The Hotel manager cancelled the hotel reservations and did not ask one question. We also had the manager get online with our reservation booking company to ensure we would not get billed for anything.

I do not recommend. This place is a disaster and a nightmare. Not conducive for anyone and Do Not take your children. No one should ever have to live like that.

Don't Waste Your Money.

My sister and I both stayed here with our families. We were in town for a family function and got a good deal here. First, they told my sister her reservation didn't exist, and after it was all said and done, she ended up paying more than she should have. When she got to her room, her TV didn't work. After her husband jiggled a few wires, he got it working, but then the remote didn't work. She got new batteries from the front desk, but it still didn't work. As we stood by the desk waiting for the batteries, a very unprofessional staff person, speaking to another staff person, used obcenities as if we weren't there. They were also very loud. My room was fairly functional and semi-clean. I guess the cleanliness and functionality must depend on what room you are lucky enough to end up in. The pool was heated, but the room the pool was in had to be below zero. If you got into the pool, you would turn to an icicle the minute you got out. It's a real shame that this place is such a mess, because it has a lot of great potential.
