The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and offered a great value for the price. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience with the staff completely changed my opinion. I accidentally left my shoes in my room after checking out. When I called for quite some time (3hrs) the staff repeatedly told me they did not have my shoes and claimed housekeeping had already gone home for the day. I was told to call back the next day to see if housekeeping turned them in. Something didn't seem right, so I had someone else call immediately after my last call The same employee who had just told me my shoes weren't there immediately told the other caller that the shoes had been found and simply asked for a FedEx shipping label to send them back. The fact that I was given false information multiple times by the same staff member was disappointing and unacceptable. While the hotel is clean, nice, and affordable, honesty and customer service matter just as much. I hope management addresses this issue so future guests don't have a similar experience.

Our family originally went to a restaurant two doors down from The Standard, but we were so…read moredisappointed that we decided to leave. Since we had parked right next to The Standard, we chose to give it a try for lunch--and it was the best decision we've made in a long time. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself was just as lovely. We were a party of five, including a 14-month-old baby, and our waitress could not have been more accommodating. Another great convenience is that the hotel also has parking available in the back. I only wish I had taken photos! We started with appetizers--crispy calamari, mussels, and chicken wing lollipops. For our entrées, we ordered the French Dip sandwich, the Carnegie Reuben, and two Standard burgers. We also asked for a kids' pasta. Expecting the usual penne, we were surprised when angel-hair pasta arrived. Our little girl had never tried it before, so we requested a substitution. Although our waitress explained that angel hair was the only pasta they typically have, she returned moments later to let us know the chef was going to get penne just for us. That level of service truly stood out. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. We enjoyed our visit so much that we are even considering hosting a family wedding and a baptism here. Highly recommend The Standard American Hotel!

We really wanted somewhere to sit outside and this was the only option. We were the only ones…read moreoutside and our service seemed kind of annoyed that he had to keep coming out to us. Unfortunately, he had a mess up where he told us something was gluten-free and when we double checked with someone else, we found out that it was not. Thankfully, the other man who was working at the bar advised us and told us that the kitchen would make the meal Gluten-free for us, which was awesome. We really liked it. Also got a wedge salad with steak which was really good. I'm so glad we clarified things because it could've been a real health issue if we didn't. I think the server needs to be l educated on the severity of allergies and to ask instead of assuming if he isn't sure. We also ordered an apple pie and asked for iced cream on the side and it came out on top. There was also so much liquid floating around in the dessert. We didn't even ask to send it back because it was already a tense interaction with him as he just seemed annoyed our entire time there. Barely ate the dessert and when I had mentioned to him that we asked for the ice cream on the side I don't think he understood and asked if I wanted a box to take it home but I just said no. I just barely ate it and took it as a $14 loss. We were going to get one more drink because we were enjoying being outside even though the service wasn't that great, but the server ended up l bringing us the check, which we hadn't asked for yet so we took it as a sign to just go. I think we just got stuck with someone who did not like his job and was unhappy he was there and unfortunately it did taint our experience. Would potentially go back if we notice someone else working outside.

Was in the area for a concert and was spending a night rather than making an hour drive home. Had…read moremade the reservation on line months ago and the good thing was you didn't have to give a credit card beforehand to reserve the room and it was cancellable up until a few hours before if necessary. We arrived at around 11:00 pm and the front desk person pretty much said my name as I walked toward the desk - guess they weren't getting many late check-ins that evening. I had a hard time understanding this person and had to keep saying "I can't understand you" and it sounded like he was saying "through the lobby" to get to my room which made no sense since all of the rooms were accessed from the outside. So he booked me and my friend in a first floor room and when we went to the room there was no way to insert or swipe the key. My friend looked inside the keyhole and noticed the room was under construction. We went back to the desk and told the desk person - he walked with us to the room and we gave him the key to which he was confused and my friend said "look inside the key hole" and he did and then realized it was an unfinished room. We then walked back to the front desk and he gave us keys for another first floor room. We entered the room and saw that it was quite outdated. There was a loud buzzing from either the microwave or the refrigerator. The air conditioning worked fine, the room was fairly clean, the beds were clean and comfortable and the TV had many channels to choose from. They provided a very small bottle of shampoo, a small bar of soap and just enough towels. The bathroom door was swollen and it was hard to close. In the morning we did not bother to check out the complimentary breakfast but rather walked to the adjacent IHOP which was only steps away. Not the worst room I've stayed in but the whole location could do with some major renovations.

Everyone at the desk is extremely friendly. You have to be over 25 years old to stay here. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. There's a small fridge and table for 2 in a queen room. One of our lamps didn't work, but there's a bunch of lighting options in the room. Why did I take a star away? The walls are paper thin. Zero soundproofing. We heard another couple arguing in the bathroom and my husband said he heard someone snoring pretty loudly. Otherwise this place is 10/10 and we'll definitely stay again if we're in the area.

Without hesitation, this is the place to stay for anyone traveling in the central Jersey area.
