You know how people say "I would give it negative stars if I could"? Holy smokes... I would give it…read moreone negative star for every second that I had to stay here. Where to start: The front desk was awful. You usually just stand there and wait for someone to come to the empty front desk. Even then, the person you see tends to operate as though you're annoying them or preventing them from doing something they really want to do. The lady gave us our keys and didn't bother to tell us where the elevator was, how to get to the room, where the pool is, or where the gym is. Must have overlooked it. The first room I had seemed to be occupied or not ready, based on the trash piled outside, my key not working, and noises I heard inside. The front desk then gave me a second room that had the latch on the door busted and completely missing AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. I hated having to complain yet again, but basic security, at a minimum, should be there. The young lady finally "upgraded" me to a more spacious suite. The suite was fine, but the bathroom is disgusting, stained, and smelled bad. Not only that, I could hear the people in the other rooms arguing as well as the people outside, and kids crying from another room. Nightmarish. I honestly can't emphasize how badly I wish I had never stayed here, nor how very much you should stay away, and the certainty with which I will never stay here again.

My first step ( into a tub with no texted floor or mat) resulted in me sliding into the tub. I…read moreimmediately realized I hurt my shoulder. After getting help to get out I reported the incident and they took the report refusing to give me a copy. I asked for a rubber mat to insure that those staying with me would not experience the same fate. They NEVER RESONDED. I needed to go to the ER and came back with a sling. I was not asked by anyone in the front desk, or higher if I was okay or asked if I needed anything. It was as if nothing ever happened. I walked over to housekeeping and asked them for a rubber mat for the tub. They said the hotel DIDN'T HAVE ANY. We needed to take TOWEL BATHS each day to avoid the hazard. When I got home I made several calls to inquire about liability information. I finally got a number they assured me could help me, but all I could get was a message machine and no one returned my call. We were also on the first floor and EACH NIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT there was yelling and fighting in the hall and no one at the front desk, not far away, brought anything to order or called the police. This experience was the worst case of not caring about the safety of their customers, no concern for the customer and neglect of the customers forget about hospitality and customer service! Needless to say, I would NEVER recommend the Holiday Inn Express Suites Woodbridge by HIG in Avenel, NJ.

0/5- Would NOT recommend…read more I stayed at the Comfort Inn at Woodbridge (Avenel,NJ) and I honestly don't know how this place has a 3-star rating. The location is decent, and they offer free parking and breakfast--but that's where the positives end. The breakfast was absolutely gross--nothing fresh, and everything tasted stale or microwaved. But the real issue was the room: it was dirty. Dust everywhere, stained bedding, and a bathroom that clearly hadn't been properly cleaned in a while. It was uncomfortable and felt unhygienic. I posted pictures so you all can see the reality behind the misleading rating. This place deserves zero stars and I won't be returning. Spend your money somewhere else.

At first it appears that this is a very nice hotel and should be a great stay. Very large 2 room…read moresuite with environmental controls in each room. Large bed, comfortable enough sofa and chair in living room. But there are some mostly minor issues that prevent this from being a 5 star hotel. First, the bathroom layout leaves a bit to be desired. Cheapo TP holder on the wall behind you makes it difficult to reach and the TP constantly falling off the holder. It should be around the corner where it can be reached more easily. And there is no convenient place to put your towels so you can reach them from the shower. The bedroom has lights, but you can't turn them on from the doorway. Thus, when it is after dark you have to fumble your way through strange surroundings in the dark to turn a light on. The refrigerator didn't work properly - being slightly below room temp at the highest setting. There was no microwave - what hotel doesn't have a microwave in the room these days? And my personal favorite - the coffee bar. It is in the living room as far away from a source of water as possible. Nicely arranged with coffee/tea etc., the ice bucket, cups, and coffee maker with plug fed through the bottom of the bar and into....nothing. There is no place to plug it into. The staff we dealt with were all friendly and efficient. The location isn't the nest and the roads getting in and out can be confusing, and the parking lot is a wreck with giant craters in the pavement in spots. This place could easily be a 4 or 5 star hotel with just a little effort.

An incredibly average hotel that kept consistently losing points in my head over the course of our…read morestay. At surface level, it's fine. The lobby is spacious, the staff is nice-ish, & the rooms are good-ish. But then you start to notice the details ... like: - The painters tape on the peeling ceiling. - The pillows with the consistency of almost-dry cement. - The dangerously large potholes in the parking lot. - The large security deposit required that didn't correlate with the quality of the hotel. & finally, the biggest offense of all: - The super pungent, overwhelming, inexplicable smell of sewage emanating from all drains in the bathroom. Most other lodging options in the area are either really expensive or really dodgy. This hotel is one of the only options that's sorta somewhere in the middle. I probably would not stay here again.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Also, nobody there speaks English properly they are all Indian. Which is not a problem. But how do you run a business and not understand what team potential client is saying? I would give this Motel a zero Star rating. They are all around rude, and unprofessional. Not to mention the fact that as soon as you walk in, the entire establishment overwhelmingly and constantly smells like marijuana..

I dig this motel so much, I gave it a nickname, the "LaMi"…read moreThat being said, I love the LaMi. It's so cozy and home-y feeling..like your worn out slippers or that ratty pair of underwear you have in your drawer. DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. There's many options for rooms there..I believe the it goes through the letters A-M. They have doubles, singles, large rooms, smaller rooms, bigger bathrooms, and of course a heart shaped tub room, you know, for those romantic nights. Some bathrooms even have Bath and Body Works shower gel. As this could be considered a "love motel" there are rates for a few hours which is called the short stay, or you can do overnights. Pretty affordable too...I don't think I've ever spent more than 80 buck there, and check in was in the afternoon. Prices can be inconsistent depending who is at the front desk, and that's somewhat annoying. Some rooms will look better than others. I definitely came across ones with no lamp, no remote, some weird mark on the floor, a less than appetizing looking sink...but those things aren't typical. La Mirage amongst other 1&9 spots were extended hosts to many Hurricane Sandy victims, which I like and is very respectable. They could use some definite remodeling for some rooms, but overall, the La Mirage is a solid spot for your sleeping (and etc..ahem) needs. Oh and there's WiFi. The clincher!!
