Very disappointed with this stay. I booked this property because it advertised a pool, but when I arrived, I was told it had been closed until November. There was no indication of this when I made the reservation, which was very misleading.

The room also had a strong unpleasant odor, making it uncomfortable to stay in. On top of that, the breakfast was poor, with very limited options and disappointing quality.

Overall, this was a frustrating experience. Misleading amenities, smelly rooms, and a subpar breakfast made this one of the worst hotel stays I've had. I would not recommend this property.

I booked this hotel because it had a swimming pool . When I arrived I had asked the clerk at the front desk where the amenities were and he told me . He failed to mention the pool had been closed for weeks and was unusable. He checked me in and I waited for my girlfriend arrive in the room . When she came we went to go into the pool only to discover it was out of order/service. When I went to the front desk a different associate explained to me that it’s been that way for a while .
I tried to then cancel my reservation and didn’t stay the night but was denied . Waste of money and time stay clear

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is both clean and stylish, and we particularly appreciated the thoughtful desk setup in the room. If we could suggest two small improvements, adding an exhaust fan to the bathroom would help keep things fresh and dry, and a bit more variety at breakfast would make the experience even better.

I was able to check in a little earlier, and was very thankful for that. Was there to attend a Pastoral Anniversary and at the last minute had to bring the dog. Of course, we couldn't take the dog to church. It was a blessing that the hotel was only about 4 blocks from the church. We were received with a pleasant and very professional demeanor. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone planning to visit Rahway.

Stayed here while son was at college orientation. Very clean, easy and safe parking, quiet. Door Dash was delivered directly to my room on 2nd floor. Room was nice but tv needed streaming service- no regular tv. That was fine for me. Only needed charging cord and not the whole block. Breakfast was coffee, tea, juice with bagels and various spreads (Nutella, flavored cream cheese, butter) and I think cereal and maybe fruit. I’m a bagel person so was great for me. Beds comfy, quiet and great all around experience. I expected far worse from some other reviews I read, but I’d def stay here again for sure.

We stayed one night before our cruise out of Bayonne. Check in was easy and the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was a typical hotel room. The breakfast was the basic continental style with cereal and bagels. We picked this hotel because we wanted to be close enough to the cruise port without being near the airport.

They were doing floor work at 7am couldn’t even walk through the halls. They kept blocking the elevator door so the elevator would take 20 minutes just to get to my floor. It was terrible. I asked if someone can make my room and clean it as I was staying for 2 nights they said they clean every other day and couldn’t come into my room to house KEEP! Just horrible

Breakfast was okay. Bagels were \"institutional\" (I'm a native New Yorker, so I have high bagel-quality standards). There was no \"regular\" black tea, only herbals: mint, orange spice, chamomile, raspberry, and one other I'm not recalling.

The service was excellent. The room was comfortable. Although \"wheelchair (or rollator) accessible\" was good for my partner, I missed having a standard desk chair.

I had a very disappointing and unacceptable experience at Sparkle Hotel Rahway.

The first room I was assigned was clearly not cleaned—there was a blood stain on the toilet, what appeared to be pubic hair in the sink, and the beds did not look freshly made. I immediately reported this to the front desk and was moved to another room.

Unfortunately, the second room was just as bad. The microwave was covered in fingerprints, the sink had visible dirt, and there was spilled juice on the countertop. On top of that, the room smelled strongly of smoke, which made it even more uncomfortable.

When I brought these issues up again, I was told no cleaning staff was available at the time, and no manager was on-site to issue a refund. As a result, I was left sitting in the lobby trying to figure out a solution because I refused to stay in either unsanitary room.

This level of cleanliness and lack of accountability is completely unacceptable. Guests should not have to deal with these conditions or be left without immediate support. I would not recommend staying here based on this experience.

I requested more towels and toilet paper several times, it was never brought to me. My ac waa not working and it was uncomfortably warm, I had to request 4 times before someone came to check it, it was fixed but stopped working again during the evening. In the morning, I called again to request someone come look. No one came. I went downstairs to the desk, complained that no one had ever brought the items, manager (Rocky), stated that items aren't brought to the room, that I would have had to come down to request them. I stated that was not specified during check in. He had a terrible attitude, I asked for a partial refund due to being the majority of my stay. Rocky said, no, contact Expedia. I commented on his poor attitude and stated I'd never recommended this hotel to anyone. He stated \"good, we don't want people like you staying here anyway\". Breakfast only consisted of yogurt and bagels, should be advertised perhaps as continental breakfast. I would like a refund.

Great room! Staff was very friendly and helpful!! VERY disappointed in the breakfast... Far worse than any other Hilton I've stayed at.., no hot food. Only hard boiled eggs. I'm used to little omelets, sausage or bacon at other hiltons. And even cheaper motels had make your own waffles or pancakes. They had bagels and muffins but they were on the stale side. At least there was a toaster. There were fresh oranges and apples but no bananas. A yogurt and cereal were offered... The first morning I came down at 8:30 and the coffee was gone and I couldn't find the salt or pepper for the hard boil eggs. The second morning the eggs were definitely what was left from the day before and MUCH harder to peel. I would DEFINITELY stay here again though because it was SO easy to drive to the Staten Island Ferry (which is FREE!) and take the subway to anywhere in the city. $3 subway fare is a real bargain! Definitely worth staying at, just skip the breakfast and eat at one of the great Jersey dinners.
