I have been traveling on business and this Hotel Sierra was my second stop during my trip. The staff is so nice and the service is impeccable. The hotel makes sure that they have provided everything you will need during your stay. My one bedroom suite had a full kitchen with a sink, full size fridge, microwave, and stove. Its a great place for anyone considering a few short days or extended stay on long projects. When a Hotel Sierra is available, I will be sure to book there.

We Will Be Back!!!
We stayed here by chance because our booked hotel - Days Inn, Parsipanny was rubbish.
We were on a tour of New England and the East Coast and had stayed in 6 other hotels: Marriot Courtyard, La Quinta and Springhill Suite by Marriot before Sierra Suite. Sierra Suite was the best place to stay with kids or without, especially with the provision of home comfort it provided!! The hotel smelled fresh and clean, just like the top-end ones. There were other complimentaries provided that we didn't get to use - evening Happy Hours for guest, basket ball court BBQ, etc.
The check in staff were very helpful, friendly and nice--Michael was outstanding. We will definitely stay at Sierra in which ever State they operate!!!

I stayed at the Sierra Suites for 1 night to attend a wedding in Parsippany. I was shocked to find everything you could imagine in my room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. There was a kitchen with a sink, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, dishes, dishtowels, etc. The price they gave us for the wedding party was also terrific at $90 per night. They had free shuttle service to and from the wedding venue which was very convenient, especially if you planned to drink. I highly recommend this hotel for any weddings in the Parsippany area.

I'm writing this review from my room at Sierra Suites. (A single bedroom suite)
Last week I stayed at Staybridge Suites, so this review compares the 2 properties.

I travel on business and prefer extended stay suite hotels.
Both Sierra and Staybridge are ranked #1 & #2 in Tripadvisor at time of this writing and their "top of ranking" for Parsippany is well deserved.

Either of these properties would be a good choice, so how to choose?

ROOM: Sierra is slightly better on room abience (pleasing cozy feeling) and amenities. (cotton bath robe and nice soaps,shampoos). To improve: Sierra water pressure for shower is weak to moderate, and all the main doors to the rooms have a strong (not well adjusted) spring, so slamming of doors is heard and felt.

Both properties are very new, clean and well maintained.

Both properties have comfortable beds and nice linens. The climate control in Sierra is a bit better, but I don't like either system, (Sierra's or Staybridge's) as the control is located in the main room, so it seems the bedroom can go to a different temperature if you close the BR door.

INTERNET ACCESS: Sierra is wireless. Staybridge is wired or wireless in the room and wireless everywhere else.

BREAKFAST and EVENING SNACK: Sierra provides just OK food. Staybridge is far superior. Staybridge evening meal can almost be called a real dinner. Also, at Staybridge, they have an "always" open feel where you can get coffee, tea, soda for free 24/7.

GREAT ROOM: Sierra's is moderate in size, whereas Staybridge is very large with high ceilngs. Staybridge also has a nice library/sitting room + a good business center with 3 computers.

GYM: Sierra has the best gym I've ever seen in a Suites hotel at this price range (see my video) On the other hand, Staybridge is very small (like I typically see)

POOL: Sierra is outdoors, is a nice size and feels a bit resort like, whereas Staybridge is smaller and indoors.

ELEVATOR: Sierra has only one (which can make you wait), whereas Staybridge has 2.

DVDs: Staybridge has a limited free selection, whereas Sierra has a rental machine (which is not functioning at the moment)

So which is a better deal?
Staybridge is a bit cheaper and with their bountiful food freebies and 24/7 drink pantry could be the better deal, However if your priority is room ambience and gym, Sierra is better.

  • Liked — The suite room and the gym are both excellent
  • Disliked — Single elevator, suite doors slam, weak to moderate water pressure

Hotel is about 30 mins from Newark, and I stayed here for 2 weeks in June. Without a car though it is hard to get around, so I would recommend people to get a car if they want to go more than a few miles from here, since Taxi's are few and far between and very expensive and not always reliable (I called Parisppany taxi's and they never even turned up, and when I called back, just said, person could not come. No call , no apoligies etc). The hotel has a courtesy bus, which will take you within a few mile radius of the hotel, which means to the bus stop, and a few restaurants, supermarkets and a sears, or local offices in the area. There is also a small shop, where you can buy basic items and food. THere is a chinese and Italian takeaway place they have menus for , which will deliver to your room. Can highly recommend the chinese takeway.
Breakfast is included in the price aswell but quite basic,and evening there are some small snacks on offer, which can do you, if you dont mind a simple dinner.

Also there is a laundry where you can buy the detergeant ($2), and the washing machine and dryer cost $2 each. There is also a small gym with a Tv in there.

Room: I had a 1 bedroom suite, which was a large Room, with sep bedroom. I also was lucky enough to have a large screen TV, which I did not see in the other rooms. All have DVD player, tv in the bedrom, kitchen with stove, pots, pans, cutlery, microwave, fridge/freezer, glasses etc. Bathroom ammentities are shampoo, soap and body crea,. Also all rooms have free internet connection (which was fast).

Positive
Liked my room with the great large TV (though I dont think all had tihs big TV), dvd player and the easy to use free internet acess. I chose this hotel due to having the Laundry room. Room was very quiet.

Negative
- Did not refill my shampoo, body cream each day. Ended up having to take it off the carts when I ran out. After a week I complained, and then I started getting it again. And on one day, did not give me any bath towel or bath mat.
- On first day, bed had some hairs from someone else (ie different colour to my hair colour!), also got some bites. Not sure what it was though, but other nights, no bites.
- Unles you have a car you are quite limited due to the location, and the courtesy bus is good if you can actually get it. found it is usually not available at the time in the morning you might want it, never available over lunch early afternoon, and in afternoon around 5-7 almost impossible to get, since it is promised morning and evening to permanent indian guest to shuttle them to work (so bad luck for other guests if you need to go out that time). After 7 till 8:30pm usually not a problem
- Staff are ok, with some much better than others. On One day I asked for the courtesy bus to take me to the bus stop over lunch, and they said they would look for a driver and get back to me right away. After 40 mins , no response so I called back. Then had someone else, who said they would look and get right back to me.. After another 15 mins no resp, so I have up. If they dont have a driver, fine, but would be polite to let me know.

Overall I have stayed here a few times, and I dont mind it here, and probably this stay was the worse from 'service' point of view. With that said, I would stay again, but if you are looking for a 5 star place / service look elsewhere (possibly Sheraton next door., though I have not stayed there).
