5/5 Excellent
Very nice
"Everyone in the trip likes the stay in the hotel. The room (we got a suite) is very spacious and clean. Good size TV and modern bathroom. We stayed on the top floor and it has beautiful view at day/night time. The garage has direct entrance to the hotel floor (hope the hotel can add the mirror around the corner in the garage, it is hard to see if there are any cars coming at the corner turn). Convenience to NYC, very close to American Dream, and there are other restaurants nearby. We encountered cigarette smell on our floor the first night we arrived but then was fine the rest of the trip. We will stay here again if come back to NJ."

"Everything was great! I just have a few things I would change, like bigger tvs (19” hard to see on), better music selection at the bar/restaurant and I’m sorry but fire the chef that does the breakfast buffet lol. It was free and edible but nasty. I could’ve walked to Wendy’s across the street. Overall 4.5 stars ! "
