They have the HVAC cooling in the room programmed to shut off with motion sensors and also in middle of the night. Terrible HVAC do not stay here. I call to get help but all programmed in the T-stats by corp and nothing they can. Find a different hotel

This review is for room #106 and general hotel.
Property is well lit but the entrance is a little difficult to find. The flagpole marks the entrance. Grounds look well kept. The inside & outside of the actual building looks well kept. Someone mentioned in a past review that road noise can be loud? We heard the trucks & cars but honestly, it was not loud at all. We were on the bottom floor, next to the road. Deposit for incidentals: $20 a stay. But they do charge $100 pet deposit. We did not travel with pets and did not see or hear any pets. Parking is ample and free. Laundry is on the 2nd floor and is $5 a load. Area is very industrial and fast moving. If you like to walk/jog in the morning I suggest staying on the property. You can easily do laps around the building. Purchasing items from the hotel ex: water bottle, snacks, Tylenol, tampons is EXPENSIVE. THE POOL IS CLOSED! Has been closed since COVID. This is really disappointing. Honestly. The website reflects the pool and I booked because of the pool. Had I asked about the pool before checking in, I would have booked elsewhere. There is plenty of out door games for the kids to play and the front desk has board games. Basketball, corn hole, and some other games. The exercise room is small. 3-4 machines in a tiny room. Not sure if the machines worked, as I did not use the machines. Any staff I met were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Check-in took maybe 10 minutes. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING ON OR IN THIS PROPERTY. I

Not any nicer than any of the other crappy extended stays in the area but much more expensive. Couch in the 1bd suite is not able to be sat on bc it's falling apart, shower barely worked, pillows were cheap and barely filled. Hallways smelled like mildew and old food. And to top it off they charge $10 per day for parking without ever disclosing it, they never asked for vehicel information or even confirmed that I parked there. Not to mention it's a hotel where everyone would need to drive to get there and a huge completely open lot.

We were warmly welcomed, got clear instructions about closest parking to our room, and received suggestions for nearby restaurants. Room was spacious and comfortable. In our little suite, it was very helpful to have a full-sized fridge and freezer (to re-freeze cold-packs for diabetes meds). Everything was clean, but a few fixtures are showing their age. The included breakfast was among above average, including several hot options. This was one of the most enjoyable places we've stayed in NJ for a yearly event we attend.

Overall, the hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly, which I really appreciated. However, the facilities felt somewhat outdated a bit, and the kitchen disposal wasn’t working. The breakfast was decent and enjoyable, with a fairly diverse menu. Housekeeping was excellent—everything was spotless. Well, one more downside was the bed mattress, which felt saggy and was a bit uncomfortable—it left my back feeling sore.

The location was also quite convenient. It’s not far from Princeton Univ, and being close to the city center made it easy to participate in events like festivities. There are plenty of amenities and restaurants nearby, which added to the convenience.

Kitchen was leaking water and did not even try to fix it. OLD everything, the heating/ac fan does not stop in the bedroom and it is too noisy at night...could not sleep. The parking lot had pot holes (like 5 big ones) tha no one seems to care. Trash bin in the kitchen is so small we had to empty it practically every few hours. Finally, we stayed at Staybridge Hotel which had much bigger rooms. The sofa is soooo uncomfortable. This place is just is TOO OLD. They need to renovate the interior. Residence Inn has been a staple for us for over 15 years. Now we will reconsider staying at Residence Inn in the future. It is not worth the money. Thank you

Elevator really shows its age but our room was wonderful and modern. We stayed in room 235 which was a 2 bed, 2 bath suite. We loved our 3 night stay there. Beds were comfy, etc. It had all the comforts of home. Even has a fireplace. TV's in seating area and in both bedrooms. Full kitchen with everything you could need for preparing your own meals.

The building looks new but inside the room is old. You can smell the odor when entering the room every time.

The pet fee $100 is way too much which is higher than the other same level inns that I ever stayed in, and those inns are more newer from outside to inside that they only charge $75!

The only highlight point is there are two bedrooms in our suite and each bedroom has a bathroom.

Never Again!

It was so bad!!! We went there to rest and for college visits. The hotel is noisy and the room was full of bugs(mosquitoes) that bite me day and night! The breakfast was horrible! The eggs are mushy and nasty! No pancake or waffle maker. They have a premade waffle with loads of sugar, you will end up leaving there with diabetes. They really have nothing good to offer. The pull out bed is so thin, you will literally be sleeping on the spring and wake up with body pains. The pillows gave us neck and shoulder pain. The toilet is horrible, got clogged first thing in the morning. We had to call front desk for help. They said they would come but never did and it was Morning! We needed to use the bathroom so we called again and the girl brought a plunger and we had to work it ourselves! Horrible! The rooms are outdated. The coffee is NasTy! They don't even have green tea, like what! Bushes there are overgrown. The fitness center has a bunch of outdated machines you would not even want to use. No food or store is close by, only one Dunkin. Plus in the end, there were so many hidden fees that put us over the rooftop in credit card charges! Such a waste of time and money. Never again! Residence Inn has always been a hit or miss that is why I avoid them.
