Sandy Hook Vacations from $188

Room needed paint, rug was torn, beds are too soft

Room was in good condition

First off the hotel is older, I love how they are keeping the integrity of it but modernizing the rooms. They are pet friendly so glad we were able to bring our dog with us. The common areas are lovely & it is a popular venue for weddings/events and they end by 11pm-ish. The facility gave us a designed pet room which is fine. But there must have been cats in there prior to us staying. Which I am allergic. Just a couple of cons: I could feel it as soon as I entered the room a cat or cats had been there. So they need to somehow clean the rugs better so that does not occur. We also noted the parking lot needs to be paved as there are many huge potholes. We ate in the steak restaurant, and it was wonderful. I would like to come back and experience the train cabins for an eating experience another time.

The Hilton Short Hills is a nice place to stay. However, one should be aware of the parking cost to stay here. There isn't any others place to park and the garage is 3 floors down. When I checked in and out there wasn't any mention of a cost per day for parking. It was a complete surprise to me and the cost is $24 a day. I did not see a sign indicating this as well. When I got home and checked my account I saw the charge. They should be upfront about this charge at the beginning.
