We stayed on the 8th floor, the very first room you see when you get off the elevator. I was a little worried about hearing the elevator open and close while we sleep but we didn't hear it at all. The hallway area where you wait to get on the elevator smelled bad so I asked someone who got on the elevator from the 4th floor and they said their hallway was stinky too. At least it didn't stink in the room and it was clean. We rented a refrigerator and you would think they wouldn't give you one that wasn't so rusty on the shelf holders but the rest of it was clean and it was the smaller one not like the ones they have in the rooms I've seen in Holiday Inn Express hotels. The bathroom doesn't have much counter space if you need that. You hear a noise above the bathroom like a spa tub was on or something like that but you don't hear it in the bedroom area.

We stayed here with our hockey team. The lobby smelled like pee, the room was old and dirty, the bathroom had ants in it and the toilet seat was in desperate need of a replacement. In the morning I discovered that the whole room was infested with ants crawling all over the rug. SO GROSS. One bed was nice, the other had some problem that made it cave in in the middle (so my daughter and I slept on top of each other). And the worst part--the pool. So, so dirty and gross. Even the kids didn't want to go back, which is saying a lot. No issues with the service or the price (we paid $90 for the night), and the location is great right off the highway, but I will definitely not return to this hotel again.

I arrived two days after the Hurricane Irene. The elevators were down because of the Hurricane, so they could not accept new reservations, until they were fixed. However, my reservation, was pre-paid, so the let me stay. They put me on the 2nd floor for my convenience. The room was clean and comfortable. Overall, the staff was very helpful and accomodating.
I would definitely consider staying there again the next time I'm in the area.

Traveling for business and came across this hotel on priceline. After I booked it, I became alarmed after reading the reviews. I always try to be honest and unbiased with my reviews, and I will be now. I had an upsetting experience. First, let me say I didn't find the area to be objectionable or I really didn't have any security concerns as noted in some of the reviews, so perhaps they've enhanced monitors in the lot. I have a luxury vehicle and was a bit apprehensive about a break-in, but all was well. The town this hotel is located in is a decent, middle-class suburban town. The hotel is very close to the highways and GSParkway, however it's not problematic.

What's more problematic is the condition of the hotel. It's an old hotel and looks as though it hasn't been refurbished or renovated in YEARS. That may not be a problem for many business travelers, providing the price is right and the hotel is very clean. Modern and flashy aren't always necessary for a few night business stay. The problem is the cleanliness. One night I was up working late and attempted to go to bed around midnight. Fortunately, I glanced down at the pillow and noticed two bed bugs crawling around the area. I jumped up and called the front desk requesting to be moved immediately, explaining what was happening.

They moved me to another room. I checked the mattress thoroughly and didn't see any signs of an infestation in the new room. When I spoke to the manager the next day, she was somewhat non-chalant about it, although in fairness I'm not certain what the proper tone should be since I've never encountered this situation. I do think they should accomodate guests in a better manner. When I asked what happens to the room, I was told the procedure was to have the room inspected and not given to any new guest for 10-days. I wasn't aware whether that happened or not. I did mention that I had to take all of my clothes out of the suitcase and wash them immediately. I was given a roll of quarters. I've never encountered this in a hotel, and while I know bed bugs can infiltrate even the finest hotels (they don't necessarily discriminate), I'm not certain whether the issue is addressed properly in this particular hotel.

The rooms do not have a microwave or mini-fridge, just a small coffee maker and hair dryer in the bathroom. There is a decent fitness room with modern equipment and an indoor pool, which is clean, but very worn. The chipped paint around the perimeter of the pool has been painted over quite a few times. The lounge chairs are very old, but basically the area is clean. The problem with trying to use the pool is they rent it out to outside swim instructors and at any given time, you may be sharing the pool with a group of splashing kids doing their lessons. Not in the least relaxing.

Hallways are dark and somewhat gloomy, and the silk plants haven't been dusted in quite a while, there was thick dust on the leaves. My advice is pass up this hotel. The location is very convenient for access to NYC or northern NJ business, however unless they completely renovate and clean, it will be hard to continue.
