Hotel service is attentive. There are breakfast and afternoon tea, although there are not many varieties, it is not bad to eat around the hotel. There is a canteen downstairs, you can choose more. The room is large, with kitchen utensils, and you can buy it yourself.

Great service. Staying another night. Room was clean. Bathroom spigot had some rust and goo break off from inside spout as I tried to create a full bath but I cleaned it with tissue and had no other complaints. Keurig, microwave, sink area were clean. Not much furniture.. sp**** except for chair but I liked that. Room to stretch and do exercise. I will stay again for the value. Brought my own food so I didn’t try the free breakfast but Ive stayed at HIX in the past for business and the breakfast is actually nice.

Poor first impressions. We showed up for a one night stay. First off the main door is broken and everyone has to squeeze thru. With luggage it’s a chore We arrive at the checkin desk to find an associate sitting behind on her phone. She greets us and we indicate we are here to check in. She tells us she’s the only one here and she’s on her break. She will be with us in (checks watch) 10 minutes We literally sat there watching her stare at her phone for 10 minutes. At which point she jumps up and is like “ok I can help you now” I get that people are entitled to breaks. But how do you have ONE person manning the front desk area? I don’t fully blame her but it literally took her 72 seconds to check us in…. It’s a shame cause the location is convenient. Rooms are dated tho. From the outside it looks new and modern. Inside not so much.

I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member, and as such I do stay at various hotels across Hilton's portfolio. As I live in Central NJ, this was just a Me-cation, just getting away from home over the weekend. I had checked-in online the day before as is customary, and chose my room at that time. Upon arrival and with a digital key, I bypassed the front desk and went right to my room. I found the room to be clean and bright. There was ample room for my belongings, and the bathroom had plenty of space to put down my toiletries. It happened to be unseasonably mild outside for November, so I was able to shut down the HVAC system to avoid any noise from it, since I would need neither heating nor cooling. I did go downstairs to the lobby once to collect the bottled water I was entitled to, and found it crowded with mostly children attending some sort of party. There was water on the floor between the pool and elevator indicating people were tracking pool water throughout the hotel. It also made it slippery by the elevator. Because of the number of people around, one elevator was not enough; most hotels have at least two. Since I had chosen my room far from the Turnpike, vehicle noise was not an issue. However my room was above the main entrance so there was some human noise outside in the evening, but it was not a problem during sleeping hours. No issues with TV or Internet. Sleep quality was as good as can be for an insomniac. I partook of breakfast in the morning, and give that a great rating. Anytime one can get both scrambled eggs AND sausage at the same time at a Hampton inn, it's a plus -- often it's one or the other. I checked out the same way I checked in, via the Hilton app, and my receipt was e-mailed to me. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Four-star, the latest hotel nearby, breakfast is now available, do not book rooms with breakfast. The outdoor parking lot is large and stop at will. I stayed at the summer school for many days.

Dog friendly but unfriendly otherwise. I didn’t even get what I paid for (business king). They stuck me in a basic room w a full size bed at best and I didn’t even bother saying anything. I could tell all the rooms were going to be the same piss poor quality. Front desk unmanned constantly and extremely rude. I’m being nice bc I don’t believe in outing specific employees but one woman needs training in how to speak to customers. In my 20+ years of staying in hotels, no matter the price point, I’ve never been spoken to so disrespectfully for no reason. Room- disgusting. Lights not working, telephone not working, visible bed stains, all sorts of noises, I think you get the picture. No fridge, microwave or coffee maker. Antiquated thermostat. Couldn’t get much sleep due to noise, generally feeling unsafe for myself and my vehicle. Kicker- police activity outside in the AM because of some incident I didn’t care to witness after my comedically bad stay. As the old adage goes, you get what you pay for.

The location is excellent, the surrounding Unicom and travel are very convenient, the hotel is very cost-effective Advantages: The room is elegant and generous, simple and heavy decoration, and has a strong sense of history. The facilities in the room are complete, with everything you need. The breakfast buffet is varied and delicious

I saw bugs on my bed just before checkout. I had already slept in that bed. I didn't know how to identify them. I told the front desk immediately. I could not get anyone to call me back or tell me if the bugs were bed bugs. The accounting manager did call me the next day but I was in a meeting and couldn't talk. From that point on I kept leaving messages but couldn't get a reply or a return call. Hotel stay: 12/14/22. 12/20/22: Email reply (after my call stating I would call Corp Headquarters and the NJ Health Dept). The accounting manager gave me Hilton Honors points in lieu of a room refund. Still did not have identity of the bugs. 01/05/23: after more unsuccessful inquiries, I was finally emailed and told me the bugs were identified as bed bugs. This is unacceptable as far as customer communication regarding such a significant problem. It caused me much duress as I was on my way to stay with family. Strongly advise against staying here.
