Not a great stay. The breakfast is very disappointing, just a bunch of stale baked goods wrapped in plastic. Only two cooked options that are made to order and they couldn’t even do scrambled eggs. First hotel I’ve ever stayed at in the world (and I’ve stayed at hundreds) where they expect you to set up your own bed (we had three people and I asked if the sofa bed could be set up for my son) - instead of someone doing this for us, they gave me sheets and told me to pull it out and set it up myself. For anywhere between $250-$450 per night you would think that the hotel setting up a bed would be a basic amenity they would offer. Not enough table seating in breakfast area and most of the rooms have a view of the highway or the parking lot. Pool is small and very average. Apart from the modern design, this is a completely average and unremarkable hotel. Nice staff but disappointing experience overall.

I stayed at Element New York Wood-Ridge for 4 nights, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Don’t be fooled by the photos online — a lot of the advertising felt misleading.

The continental breakfast shown in the pictures was nothing like what was actually offered. Most of the bagels were individually wrapped, there were no bacon or ham options, the portions were small, the coffee tasted terrible, and there was barely any fruit available.

One of the biggest issues was the noise. I booked this hotel thinking it was a newer and quieter property, but there is a nightclub on the top floor that was extremely loud at night. I had to request a room change because of it.

The thermostat in the room did not work properly, and the fan kept turning on loudly throughout the night. The TV also wasn’t connected to streaming services, so I had to call staff for assistance. Housekeeping only comes every two days, which was also disappointing during a longer stay.

The laundry room was also disappointing. The machines seemed old, and my clothes were still wet after drying. When I spoke to the staff about it, I was told I would have to pay for another drying cycle instead of being offered any assistance.

Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

We were getting dinner and drinks at the concourse club on site, coming from an hour away with bad rain predicted we decided to book a room. Front desk member who greeted and us and checked us in was very friendly and funny, sorry don’t remember his name! However majority of the light switches in the room didn’t work, and our toilet had issues flushing. In the morning I also realized that we had been given a standard king not the upgraded king that was booked, Expedia was helpful in getting me a credit to cover the difference of what I paid— room was clean and comfortable otherwise. Overall an ok stay, but disappointed in these inconveniences for the cost of the room. Have definitely stayed in better rooms for less.

Breakfast was just ok. It was overall not bad and close to MetLife which is why we were there and close to Uber into the City for the rest of our time. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly.

Lobby is fabulous and so was breakfast
Everything above the 1st floor is pretty poor.
Water pressure is nonexistent. Water temp takes a good 15 mos to get hot. The room had switch plates falling off the receptacle and crooked lamps. The whole building above floor 1 smells. The A/C grill was loose and flapping around. Good luck parking, the night club on the top floor used all available parking, so you’re stuck. The infused water was pretty great in the lobby - I should have just slept in the lobby - defo don’t recommend at all. Not for the premium fee over other comparable hotels. Booked on Expedia, so prolly got the worse room anyway

Overall, we had a fantastic stay. We were a family of five, we had the suite with two queen beds and a pullout sofa. The sofabed springs were literally out and jabbing you everywhere. It was impossible to sleep on it. Front desk gave us two mattress pads and it did not help at all! The sofa cushions were stained so you couldn’t sleep in the sofa either. Other than the sofabed issues, the hotel was clean and up to date. Breakfast was amazing each morning with many options. Target, Trader Joes and Cost co are less than 20 min away. Hoboken about 35 min away. We would stay here again minus the sofabed.

Over all our stay went well. The property should advertise that there is a night club on the roof, as most people don’t realize that until check in. We stayed in the middle of the week, the club closes at 11 pm on weeknights. We stayed on the third floor, we didn’t hear music or see much foot traffic from the club, but Friday & Saturday the club is open until 1 am. The room was clean, service was friendly!

The breakfast options were better than most places. All of the staff were polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. The only reason for 4 stars is that although clean, some things are a bit run down. Our bathroom was a little leaky and the tile grout was definitely old and a little mildewed in spots. It’s normal wear and tear just unsightly in a hotel. That said the rooms are a fine size and also offer a kitchenette with a much larger than normal fridge, a cooktop, sink, dishwasher, pots, pans, cutlery, etc. There’s coin op laundry but they provide free detergent. The gym and pool area appeared to be well maintained. I didn’t use the area but the kids inside looked like they were having a lot of fun.
