Metuchen Vacations from $434

Front desk person was very unfriendly and uninterested.

Decent enough ‘trendy’ hotel, pool is dumb (“no swimming”?!), w the entire place seemingly catering to younger people w bad taste. The rooftop is loud and obnoxious, but if that’s your thing, have at it. Location is great, staff just ok on average, style over substance though, ultimately :/

Overall it was a great stay! Best part of the cottage was the bathroom with its deep big tub and walk in shower. But the room itself lacked visual appeal & some conveniences usually associated with booking a cottage which is more private and removed from the house. Could use more and better art in the room. I would also trade all the storage space for a mini fridge, tea kettle or coffee maker. Also the only full-size mirror is hidden far back in the bathroom which isn’t terrible but very inconvenient to check the outfit before heading out the door. It’s little odd things that just made it not feel like a luxury stay. And no one mentioned to us beforehand that the sauna, gym, pool area (even though in off season) was under renovation and not available to use. The restaurant was amazing though, room service was wonderful. And staff were adorable. But I don’t know if we would book again tbh.

The only good thing about this property is its location and overall cleanliness. We traveled in summer 2025 and the staff was unhelpful, if not rude. We asked to hold our luggage before check in and after check out only to find it hanging out in the lobby at some point without any supervision. There are only a couple elevators in the building and they take very long time to arrive, so if you can, book lower floors and just use the stairs to save yourself waiting full 5 minutes for a small elevator to arrive. with people checking in and out all the time, its hard to fit in one of those anyway. The rooms are tiny tiny. Yes, its new york, so its not surprising, but the bed took about 90% of the room which wasnt obvious on the photos (we had a king bed room). The room description (at least at the time) mentioned a mini fridge, which wasnt there but the staff did supply us with one, which didnt really fit into the room and we had to jump over it to get on the bed. AC was very strange too. in a few nights we spent there we couldnt figure out how to make the room not hot as hell or freezing cold, so we kept switching between the two. the bathroom didnt have a single place to put your makeup near the sink and we ended up flipping the trash bin upside down and using it as a low shelf. All and all, it is not a terrible place, but wasn't very good, even for new york. Better than Gallivant, but if you are okay with a tiny tiny room, i d recommend checking out the Pods instead.

We decided stay at this hotel, because it is only option was. In general all good. Big parking lot, polite staff. But, room doesn't have fridge, and for my request slippers, they said, they don't have it. There are the reasons why I little bit disappointed.
