“Good stay - Friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Good hotel. Very close to EWR. Short ride up. As for the stay, good & comfortable. and found the staff to be extremely friendly.

Only ask - Would have been great if they had valet parking, the parking lots are wide & spread out.

“Not your mother's Holiday Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

This is probably one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, and I'm on the road 200+ days each year. Wonderful, friendly staff. Hotel restaurant is better than most of the local restaurants. Upscale lobby.

Room Tip: Rooms on sixth floor have microwave and refrigerator.

“Better than before!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

I stayed at this hotel 2 years ago when it was a crown plaza hotel. The hotel has a new lobby and eating area..the rooms were semi-renovated which is what the hotel actually needed 2 years ago. comfortable stay, nothing to do around that area. Breakfast wasn't too bad either. Also this hotel was across the street from where I needed to be in the morning so the location was perfect for my needs.

“Good experience!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

This was a quick one night visit to see friends in New Jersey. This hotel is right off the Garden State Parkway. Though it is a little tricky to get to if you don't know how to navigate a circle. But very easy access on and off the parkway. And just down the road is a shopping area with a food store and a few restaurants and a Walgreens. The hotel lobby is very nice and modern. I did not eat at the hotel but they had a full service restaurant and a bar. A computer/business area and a place to lounge and relax with friends. The front desk employees were very nice and efficient. I loved that you didn't have to ask for the wifi password. It was given to you with your key. Had absolutely no trouble with wifi (which I have had at other more expensive hotels). The room was actually a very nice size but the bathroom was extremely small. Since it was only me that wasn't a problem but more than one person's toiletries would not have fit. The bed was very comfortable, tv worked and the room was very clean. Had a very good experience on my one night visit.

Room Tip: My room was right by the elevators and I thought it might be loud but the rooms are very week insula...

“Nice renovation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

This is the first time I have stayed in this place since they started flying the Holiday Inn flag. It is an older building but they have done a nice job renovating the space. I really like the look of the new lobby/store/snack bar/bar/restaurant. It is a nice modern open concept space. I didn't happen to eat at the restaurant so I cannot say what the food was like. I had a two-night stay while on business in the area and I was very satisfied.

My room was nicely renovated, new decor, comfortable bedding, and the bathroom while small was well-laid out to take advantage of the space available. There is plenty of free parking and the grounds are well maintained. The room was very quiet and I slept well. The free WIFI was speedy and trouble-free.

I did buy a couple of soft drinks from the lobby store and the prices were about the same as what you would pay at a local convenience store. Thanks for not charging unreasonable prices.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They did acknowledge my Priority Club membership but there weren't any freebies (bottle of water, cookies, etc) like some places in the Holiday Inn chain provide.

The location is good, conveniently located right of the Garden State Parkway in the one and only section of the Parkway that doesn't have tolls. Easy on and easy off the highway in both directions. I will definitely put this on my list of regular places to stay while on business in NJ.
